Custom built in 2007, the two-story Western Victorian style building is situated on a nearly quarter-acre lot at the very eastern edge of Town on the frontage road paralleling US Highway 550.

The building has approximately 2000 square feet of habitable space and comes with an extensive, must-see list of quality and hard-to-find features among these are extensive measures against air-infiltration that not only make the building energy efficient but also make the inside incredibly quiet despite the excellent highway visibility and access the location provides.
