This exceptionally comfortable and private 3-bedroom/3-bath home, on protected green space, is surrounded by nature (a seasonal stream running through an adjacent ravine and beautiful, mature, easy-care, West Coast landscaping) yet is still just a short drive to all the amenities of Duncan. The unique, executive home has been extensively refurbished with blonde-oak trim and other top-quality touches. Huge, sun-dappled decks allow for tranquil, outdoor dining and sunset/mountain views through the forest. A heat pump, electronic air cleaner, air conditioning, soaker tub, sunken family room, and two fireplaces (one propane-gas and one electric-heat) are just some of the features that make this home so inviting and unique. A thorough, professional, and refined rebuild took place in 1997, making the home's inner components and roof 11 years young and newer.
