A contemporary two-story mountain home with a sleek, angular roofline and a mix of natural stone and smooth stucco exterior. The front facade features a modern wood and glass door framed by symmetrical potted plants, beneath a covered entry supported by dark wood beams. A series of horizontal black-framed windows line the front, allowing natural light into the interior. To the right, a large three-car garage is finished in matching stone with matte black garage doors, each featuring vertical window insets. The concrete driveway curves gently toward the entrance, bordered by a sloping lawn and clusters of pine and deciduous trees. The scene is set under a bright blue sky with scattered white clouds, adding to the peaceful, upscale feel of the forested setting. — Exterior view of Modern Mountain, Managed by PMI.
