Spectacular 1.5 story home in Valleyford with a shop on a gorgeous 3 acre parcel. Situated at the top of a hill in the middle of a vast swath of farmland with views looking out over the Palouse countryside in every direction! The great room has large west-facing windows with stunning sunset views and a sliding door that opens out to a large deck, perfect for indoor-outdoor entertaining. Updated kitchen with beautiful Corian countertops and a large kitchen island. Living room features a beautiful wood-burning fireplace with fireplace doors and a floor-to-ceiling stone surround. Upstairs you'll find a huge master suite with large sitting room / den, and a half bath. On the main floor there's a large bedroom with a huge bay window with a bench seat and views looking out over the farmland to the east. Also on the main floor is a full bathroom, with a laundry room with utility sink tucked in behind it (the laundry room is easy to miss, it's located behind the accordion door in the bathroom; it has room for a large stacked washer/dryer set). Downstairs in the daylight basement is a workshop area (or potential den) and a large room currently being used as a family room though technically it's a bedroom with closet. Also downstairs you'll find abundant storage space in the half crawl space under the west half of the house. Also downstairs in a corner of the workshop area there's an exceptionally well designed dual-powered hot water boiler system which provides radiant heat to the baseboard heaters throughout the home. It's powerful enough to heat the house comfortably all winter. It combines a wood-burning stove boiler with an oil boiler. Either boiler can function independently, or the oil boiler can be used just as a backup, activating only when the wood stove runs out of fuel (if you forget to reload it, or are away). If a buyer isn't interested in heating with firewood, the oil boiler can heat the house effortlessly all winter on its own. The owners chose to primarily heat the house with the wood-stove boiler, using the abundant firewood the lightly treed property produces each year. In this way their heating costs have been close to $0 each year and the approximately 10 year old oil boiler has barely been used. In addition to the boiler system, there are also 3 new mini-splits spread throughout the home that are powerful enough to heat or cool the entire home. The gorgeous 3.15 acre lot has multiple outbuildings including a spacious shop with 2 garage bays and a large storage room above. There's also a storage shed and a large wood shed. Both the shop and the storage shed have shed roof extensions for extra storage capacity. The property has a stone path that leads to a gravel area in back of the house with gorgeous views, wired for a hot tub (sellers took theirs with them). It’s a perfect spot to take in the views during the day and it's especially beautiful at night with the stars and moon illuminating the farmland in every direction as far as you can see. The house has an automatic whole-house backup generator with a 700 gallon propane tank cleverly disguised as yard art. Property has a new well pump. New hot water heater. New vinyl windows throughout, with thermal blinds. New high-end laminate flooring. Access to the home is through a shared driveway converted in 1958 from a section of abandoned railroad tracks (the former RR route from Spokane to Tekoa). This is now a beautiful section of shared driveway with an exceptionally smooth grade for the majority of the way (once you get up from the bottom of the hill where a railroad tress once bridged the valley). Along the length of the driveway there are mature fruit trees growing on both sides where train passengers back in the day threw apple cores & peach and cherry pits out the windows of the train. 70+ years later they've grown into large apple, plum and cherry trees, and a few pear trees. Another interesting piece of railroad history on the property is the lilac bushes next to the shop. The owners transplanted them here from an old train station depot that was being torn down. This home was only the 4th house built on Stevens Creek Rd. This property is full of history with stunning views, seclusion and privacy! Don't miss out, schedule a private showing today.
