Fifth Avenue #1A

DETAILS

INTERIOR FEATURES

The front door opens right into the cushy living room, offering a friendly welcome home.
A gas-log fireplace—with a step-up white brick hearth and a granite mantle—warms the living room.
A 24” Phillips flat-panel television is mounted on the fireplace façade and is hooked up to a DVD and VCR that reside on the mantle.
The living room is dressed with cream Berber carpeting and wood planking that runs diagonally across the east wall.
It’s furnished with a pair of over-stuffed leather sofas and a distinctive multi-part glass coffee table. A leather window bench offers a bright spot to take in views of town.
A trio of windows – treated with wood slat blinds - cheer the living room with soft sun and a vista of Aspen’s upper west side. Nearby aspens provide shade and privacy.
A tidy dining nook rests at the end of the living room, next to the kitchen’s entry.
The dining area is outfitted with a bar-height table and attended by four high-back swivel stools with iron-style framing and upholstered cushion seats. It’s a fun set-up for an informal dinner with friends or family.
The galley kitchen has been upgraded with a slab granite breakfast bar mounted to the wall opposite the appliances and prep counter. Two elegant stools, featuring hardwood construction with exposed Japanese-style joinery, tuck under the counter.
The kitchen is equipped with a GE four-burner electric stove, an Emerson microwave, a GE dishwasher and a Frigidaire refrigerator.
A broad stainless steel Delta sink is set into an off-white counter that’s also home to a handy built-in cutting board.
  More handsome stainless steel can be found in the kitchen in the trim around the cream-colored wood cabinets and in the stove’s large backsplash.
A honey-hued pine plank floor brightens the kitchen.
  Lots of storage is served-up in the short hall between the bedrooms and the living areas by a pair of closets and a small dresser.
The guest bedroom enjoys north-facing windows with views towards Smuggler Mountain. A pair of twin beds is connected by a long wall-mounted headboard and a shared night table.
Near the foot of the guest beds stands a large pine armoire with a collection of shelves and space to hang clothes. More storage is available in the room’s bi-fold door closet.
The master bedroom has a private door to the bathroom, which has a second door that opens into the bedroom hallway.
Appointed with a king-sized bed that’s flanked by a pine side table and a torchiere, the master bedroom is quietly tucked away from the home’s living areas.
An oak dresser—matching the oak trim of the headboard and side table—rests near the foot of the bed.
Abundant storage is available in the master bedroom’s deep, multi-chambered closet. After two sections of standing-height storage, the closet accesses a crawl space for deep storage of off-season items.
The bath has been recently remodeled with Italianate floor tiling, a granite counter, and a clear glass door for the shower/tub.
The vanity features contemporary styling with brushed stainless steel L-handle fixtures and beveled-edge mirrors.
 

EXTERIOR FEATURES

The walk-out porch is secluded by nearby mature aspens and a short retaining wall that defines its western edge.
The porch and home’s front entrance is accessed by a private path connecting to the city sidewalk.
There’s room for a few chairs on the porch; extra guests can find a seat on the long ski locker.
From the porch, the top of Smuggler Mountain can be seen rising above the nearby buildings of the Lift 1 neighborhood and downtown Aspen.
 

COMPLEX AMENITIES

Fifth Avenue shares a pool and hot tub deck with the adjacent Durant condominiums.
Easy ski-access to Aspen Mountain is available through a private trail on the east side of the complex, or a 1-block walk to Lift 1A. You can also ski to just across the street from the unit.
A common off-street parking lot is reserved for owners/renters.
