Fifth Avenue Condominiums #306

WHAT: A Fifth Avenue penthouse in downtown Aspen. This top floor, two-bedroom/loft condominium serves up an expansive view of the city and the mountains that surround it. A wall of windows soars to a high peaked ceiling, cheering the home’s living spaces and forming the complex’s modern architectural signature. The flowing floor plan—family room into dining into kitchen—nurtures time together. A recent remodel has kept the kitchens and baths up-to-date.

WHERE: The Fifth Avenue offer great ski access—a ski path winds behind the Durant and onto The Little Nell and Gondola—just a short walk to Lift 1A and ‘ski-in’ almost to the complex’s back door.

WHY: Take it right now; a home with comfy furnishings, views, and charm to spare.

INTERIOR FEATURES

The home’s entry is a short hall between the front door and living room, with enough space to shed outdoor gear before entering the home.
The entry hall is brightened by a front-facing window and made durable by a white tile floor.
Upon entry a pyramid of windows stretches 12-feet across much of the home’s north face and soars to the apex of it’s 25-foot peaked ceiling.
The home’s vista centers on Hunter Creek with Red and Smuggler Mountains defining the creek’s rugged sides. Downtown fills the foreground view including such Aspen landmarks as the Wheeler Opera House and the Hotel Jerome.
The living room is furnished with a black sectional sofa that faces the corner fireplace and long media center, as well as the big views, of course.
The sectional sofa frames a Japanese-inspired coffee table that conceals two short stools.
The media center stretches under the living room windows and boasts high-end Carver sound system components.
The living room’s woodburning fireplace is adorned with a slate tile hearth and a black metal chimney casing.
A formal dining table seats six in upholstered seats under the light of a frosted glass and iron pendant chandelier.
The dining area is tucked into a nook defined by the overhanging loft and a half-wall at its back; it opens to both the living room and kitchen
The remodeled kitchen features sand-hued, slab granite counters with rounded edges. A granite backsplash also runs around the rear kitchen counters.
A split-level counter on the living room side of the kitchen serves as prep area and two-seat breakfast bar.
The kitchen is outfitted with white GE appliances including a four-burner stove, a microwave and refrigerator.
The white décor of the kitchen continues beyond the appliances to include the tile floor and the corner spiral stairs to the loft.
The granite counters accommodate a broad stainless steel sink, which is attended by dual faucets – a standard head and detachable spray head.
Cherry-toned cabinets and drawers surround the kitchen and are equipped with rolling shelves in the tall pantry closet.
The master bedroom suite houses a king-sized bed with from-the-pillow views of an aspen grove behind the Fifth Avenue complex.
The suite enjoys its own exterior door that opens to a view of the Lift 1A side of Aspen Mountain and a set of exit stairs – allowing the suite’s occupants to come and go without disturbing the unit’s other guests.
A white wood storage unit opposite the bed offers a media center as well as a double door closet and cupboards.
The master bath has been upgraded with a slab granite vanity counter inset with a white Kohler sink and topped by wrap-around vanity mirrors.
The guest bedroom’s double bed is crowned with a large storage unit featuring cabinets, closets and a length of shelving over the head of the bed.
Additional storage can be found in the guest suite’s six-drawer dresser.
The guest bedroom’s pair of windows take in the same dramatic views as the living room including downtown Aspen and the surrounding mountains.
The guest suite’s attached bath shines with white tile flooring and a polished granite counter.
The loft – accessed by a spiral staircase - overhangs the kitchen and part of the bedroom hallway and opens into the airy space over the living room.
The loft’s extraordinarily tall ceiling and open half-wall give the room an airy feel and allow the space to share in the views and sunlight of the grand front windows.
Currently set-up as a bedroom with a twin bed, this flexible space could easily be converted to use as an office or den.
A utility closet at one end of the loft is equipped with a GE Spacemaker washer and dryer set.
The loft bathroom is outfitted with a white pedestal sink topped by wrap around mirrors, a shower and a
wardrobe closet.

The home’s large, private deck has even broader views than the home. Besides taking in town and the mountains around the Hunter Creek Valley, the deck’s vista begins at Shadow Mountain and stretches all the way down to Basalt Mountain.
