Read More(SOLD) Own this ski-hill property at Silver Star Mountain Resort
By Saffron Quist
*Saffron is a licensed realtor with Venture Realty Corp. This property is listed with MLS #10186067*
Perched on top of The Knoll (part of Silverstar’s top 2 most desirable locations) and overlooking giant trees and mountains, this handsome townhome is just hoping, and wishing, and waiting for you.
In excellent condition and previously lived in by full-time residents, this is not a beaten-up vacation rental!
Boasting the larger floor plan, a BOOT ROOM OFF THE ENTRY, granite counter tops, gas stove, large fridge, private hot tub, gas fireplace, gas bbq hook-up, glass shower, heated floors and a few more features that make this stud muffin of the most attractive in the complex!
Also, there are laundry hook-ups in the Master closet should you want to use the laundry room as your private lock-off (perfect if you plan to rent it out part time).
With hardwood floors and stainless steel appliances, this guy is styling. AND with triple-pane windows, gas hot water and heat, plus a Venmar air exchanger and brand new furnace... this guy is also an environmentalist! PLUS with 3 bedrooms all on the top floor, a boot room off the front entry (a ski hill must), and a den in the basement... he is also a family-house. Win, win, win!
Side note, the next door neighbours are not a rental property.
Can you see yourself here; enjoying the fresh air, snowy slopes, biking trails, breeze through the trees and views for days?
