Description

A truly unique and special property Dome Sweet Dome! This one-of-a-kind three-story dome home is nestled in the heart of desirable Blue Lake Springs and has been extensively remodeled, blending distinctive architecture with modern mountain living. Tucked away on almost a half an acre of level lot and a quiet cul-de-sac with minimal traffic, this peaceful retreat offers exceptional privacy. An adjacent vacant lot has been purchased by the neighboring owner, helping preserve the serene setting and limiting future development. The home features 3 bedrooms, 2 lofts, and 3 bathrooms, including a luxurious primary suite with a spa-like bath. The chef's kitchen boasts an open-concept design with a large island, granite countertops, custom cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and a huge walk-in pantry. Situated on a large, level lot, the property offers a long, flat driveway with ample parking and easy year-round access an invaluable feature during the winter months. Step outside onto the spectacular $90,000 wrap-around deck, perfect for entertaining, BBQs, or relaxing among the pines. Enjoy peace of mind with over $148,000 in major infrastructure upgrades all completed within the last four years. Improvements include a new whole-home Generac backup generator (approximately $18,000), a new whole-house HVAC system downstairs plus three energy-efficient mini-split units upstairs (approximately $25,000), and a brand-new septic system with new tanks and leach lines (over $15,000) and bear box ($2,000). These substantial investments provide years of worry-free ownership. Dedicated game rooms with foosball, ping pong, and darts make this the perfect mountain getaway. Most furnishings are included, making this a true turnkey retreat. For investors, Dome Sweet Dome has been a successful vacation rental for over two years, offering proven income potential while also serving as an exceptional personal mountain retreat.
