Description: Perched atop a private ridgeline just minutes from downtown Clayton, this beautifully reimagined 5BD, 3.5BA, 3100sqft mountain home blends timeless architecture, thoughtful modern upgrades, and exceptional outdoor living on approximately 0.84 acres. Surrounded by mature hardwoods and cooled by constant ridge-top breezes, the setting offers mountain views, privacy, charm, and the convenience of being moments from Clayton's celebrated dining, shopping, and mountain lifestyle.  Inside, the home has been extensively refreshed with refinished hardwood floors, whole-house interior paint, removal of popcorn ceilings, upgraded lighting, and carefully curated finishes throughout. The traditional yet inviting floor plan offers just the right amount of connection between functional areas plus multiple flexible living spaces ideal for a home office, library, den, or media room.  The heart of the home is the updated kitchen and keeping room, where refinished cabinetry, new hardware and fixtures, a new stainless range, plus a new custom bookshelf and workspace create a warm and functional gathering space. Just beyond, the fireside sitting room with stone fireplace opens seamlessly to expansive flagstone terraces, extending everyday living outdoors.  Designed for both entertaining and relaxation, the outdoor spaces are a true highlight. Enjoy evenings around the custom fire pit with seating area, host dinner parties on the stone patios, or unwind enjoying mountain views and the newly expanded rear lawn. Programmable WiFi-controlled landscape lighting, added weatherproof exterior outlets, and refreshed hardscape details enhance both beauty and practicality.  The main living areas include a gracious formal dining room ready for holiday gatherings and a spacious formal living room filled with natural light. Bedrooms are comfortable and refined with new ceiling fans, updated doors, and a fresh cohesive aesthetic throughout. Baths have been upgraded with new sconces, fixtures, vanity lighting, and a frameless glass shower enclosure.  Additional improvements include two programmable WiFi Nest thermostats, upgraded dimmable rocker switches throughout, garbage disposal, and numerous finish enhancements that make this home truly move-in ready.  Rarely does a home offer this combination of views, privacy, character, outdoor enjoyment, and proximity to downtown Clayton. A turnkey mountain retreat where classic style meets modern comfort.
