INTERIOR FEATURES

Wonderful mountain home on two levels is ingeniously designed to allow the addition of another level above. Huge Colorado spruce logs, vaulted ceilings, Utah barnwood accent walls, and high-end finishes blend rusticity and comfort into a warm, livable home lovingly built by the owner himself.
The large, open living spaces define the home (both inside and out—note: 3700 sq ft deck) and all the bedrooms take advantage of the natural surroundings using oversized windows to frame the outstanding views.
Enter through beautiful, custom-made alder door with inset of aspen leaves etched in glass with branches of wrought iron.
Vaulted ceilings in living room soar 20+ feet up to an enormous log beam at the apex, yet the room feels cozy and intimate given the gas fireplace with its timbered wood mantle and granite hearth, and the iron chandelier with its alpine scene. Huge windows and two sets of French doors open to the expansive log deck that overlooks the pond, the mountains, and Ruedi.
The double-sided gas fireplace in the living room features unique, antique timbered wood mantle imported from England and a hearth that will keep you toasty in the morning.
Fabulous kitchen/dining area framed by huge log timbers, features sleek black granite countertops, lighted, glass-front alder cabinetry and a deep, double stainless sink with a big window above for viewing the trees and mountains.
Top quality appliances include stainless Viking Professional four-burner gas & griddle with Viking hood, SubZero side-by-side refrigerator/freezer and Bosch dishwasher.
You’ll feel one with nature in the master bedroom where you are surrounded by views of the serene mountain setting. Windows and two sets of French doors open to the wrap-around deck.
