What makes our home truly special is its perfect harmony of cozy comfort, thoughtful modern updates, and seamless connection to the stunning Central Oregon landscape. This inviting **3-bedroom, 3-bath single-level retreat** (1,428 sq ft on a generous corner lot) boasts soaring **vaulted ceilings** and an open floorplan that floods the space with natural light and creates an effortless flow for relaxing or entertaining.
The living area now centers around a state-of-the-art **ductless efficient heating and cooling system** (replacing the original woodstove), providing quiet, energy-smart year-round comfort without the fuss of traditional setups—keeping things cozy in winter and refreshingly cool in summer. The kitchen shines with premium **Italian stainless steel appliances**, sleek new **cabinets** featuring modern contemporary styling and soft-close upgrades, plus elegant **Italian dining room table** and stunning **Italian countertops** that add a touch of sophisticated luxury and timeless appeal.
Tucked in the peaceful **Starwood** subdivision, the home feels like a private oasis—quiet and serene, yet just steps from the friendly HOA's trails, dog park, and playground. Lovingly updated to feel completely turn-key and welcoming, it blends these high-end modern touches with the rustic charm of Central Oregon living. Guests often say it feels like "home away from home," with that rare combination of spaciousness, refined elegance, and direct access to adventure right outside the door.
