INTERIOR FEATURES

A distinctive three-level home with a formal touch and commanding views of the Snowmass Club golf course and expansive northeast mountain vistas. French windows and doors throughout the home unite the natural surroundings with the spacious interior.
Oak hardwood floors, crown molding, soaring ceilings, and traditional furnishings are complemented by distinctive antique pieces.
A huge, wonderfully accommodating, bright family kitchen; formal dining room; spacious, inviting living room with bar area; and warm study reside on the main floor. The lovely master suite has the top floor all to itself. The lower level includes the den; four bedroom suites, all with large windows and mountain views; and the laundry room. Beautiful custom woodworking created by an El Paso, Texas designer is featured throughout the home—in the kitchen island, living room fireplace mantel, master bed and multiple beds downstairs.
A central sound system provides music throughout the home. The home also has a security system.
Double French doors flanked by paned sidelights and windows above fill the grand foyer with natural light. A beautiful chandelier with a French bronze finish and flowering vine accents hangs from the towering ceiling and sets the tone for the rooms beyond. A lovely grandfather clock and armoire are welcoming accent pieces.
On the main floor, adjacent the foyer and kitchen, stands an elegant powder room with padded upholstered walls in a soothing crème and leaf motif; white pedestal sink and stylish sconces flank the mirror.
You’ll be touched by the huge family-style kitchen that is truly spacious enough to handle the crowd that inevitably gathers there. The white, bright cabinetry with decorative white iron pulls matches the winter snow outside the large French window over the sink. Two skylights provide even more natural light.
Custom box wood ceilings with recessed lighting, Oak hardwood floors, and a lovely pine center island with custom woodworking and pine crosscut countertop add warmth. Abundant cabinet and counter space make this kitchen a dream for preparing your favorite meals. The white tiles on the backsplash are interspersed with petite floral accent tiles. A floral bouquet hand-painted tile mural above the stove is repeated above the two-sided gas-log fireplace that passes through to the dining room.
In front of the fire, the family can gather for breakfast at the round antique table in the ladder-back chairs with rush seats. A wide custom pine hutch stretches across one wall. And next to it, a convenient built-in desk.
Top-of-the-line appliances include Sub-Zero wood front paneled refrigerator, Viking gas stove with stainless hood, Thermador double convection oven, and KitchenAid dishwasher.
The formal dining room with its breathtaking mountain views on three sides will inspire entertaining. Hanging from the center of the custom wood ceilings is a stunning leaf motif chandelier with a French bronze finish and brass accents. There is a large expandable oak table with eight high-back upholstered chairs with nail-head trim. Dinner guests will be warmed by the gas-log fireplace. Lovely oil paintings with ornate frames and a large, dark wood framed mirror complement the formal décor. A handy built-in china closet stores your linens and tableware.
Take a few steps down to the grand gathering spot—the living room. Windows and three sets of French doors frame expansive views of the golf course and mountains of the Brush Creek and Roaring Fork Valleys. The living and entertaining space easily expands to the wrap-around heated deck for summer and winter entertaining.
The vaulted wood-paneled ceiling with recessed lighting is painted light cream and complemented by pale cream-colored walls and oak flooring.
Two cream-colored sofas create the seating area in front of the gorgeous gas-log fireplace surrounded by marble and lovely custom carved Mexican Oak. An antique carved wood framed mirror hangs above. Built in shelving and cabinetry for books and art pieces flank the fireplace. Antique accent pieces throughout the room add to the traditional feel.
In one corner—a maple baby grand piano, in another—a bar of cream marble with four upholstered bar chairs. The bar includes white, glass-front cabinetry; a round sink with brass fixtures; a Scotsman ice machine and mini-fridge, and French doors to the hallway and study.
The study is defined by warm oak walls and floors, a custom box wood ceiling with recessed lighting, along with the gas-log fireplace surrounded by cream-colored marble and wood that create a handsome, welcoming place of respite. Built in bookshelves and cabinets flank the fireplace. Windows with wood blinds look out to the surrounding aspen and evergreens, plus the mountains beyond. French doors open to a deck. Two cream-colored love seats, an antique desk, and an RCA flat-screen TV with VHS and DVD players complete the scene.
The oak staircase has an oak railing and white balusters. It leads to the breezeway and master suite. On the way, you’ll catch views of the front yard and mountain views through a large French window.
The divine master suite will coax you to loll away the day here. Vaulted, gabled ceilings with recessed lighting add volume. French doors open to a private deck and aspen, evergreen, and mountain views. A gas-log fireplace surrounded by white wood and green marble tile rivals the views. White, built-in shelving and cabinetry and French windows flank the fireplace. A cozy upholstered sitting nook in the corner with a round antique table invites you to sit a spell and pen a note or two. A beautiful handcrafted Pine king canopy bed is draped in custom fabric and gorgeous floral quilted bedding. An armoire houses a Sony TV with a Sylvania DVD/VHS player.
Double doors hide a small bar with marble countertop; U-line mini-fridge below and shelving above.
His and Hers walk-in closets feature vaulted ceilings and built in shelving with additional storage accessible from both.
Ahhhh! Master Bath invites hours of pampering. The vaulted ceiling with two skylights, plus a French window with mountain views fill the room with natural light. The color theme continues here—green marble countertops on the double vanity, white and brass fixtures, and white cabinetry with brass pulls. Indulge yourself and soak in the jetted tub with green marble tile surround. Or take a rejuvenating steam shower in the marble tile shower (gaze out the window to the treed hillside while you’re there). The bidet and commode are in a separate room.
The carpeted den on the lower level features recessed lighting and built in shelving and cabinets that house a Toshiba TV and a full entertainment system with components by Sony, Mitsubishi, and Techniks. A comfy Bob Timberlake sofa and chair, round game table with four chairs, and a distressed armoire provide the ideal atmosphere for family fun and relaxation.
The laundry room features a tile floor, lots of counter space, white cabinetry, a porcelain laundry sink, and a Kenmore washer and dryer. There is access to an expansive crawl space for storage.
French doors at the eastern side of the den open to a patio, hot tub, and forever mountain views.
Cheerful bedroom #1 has a light blue and white plaid and paisley motif. French doors open to the patio and hot tub. A custom knotty pine full size bed is complemented by a white bedside chest and white rocker. The international ski photos and posters are quite fitting. The walk-in closet has built-in shelving.
The adjoining bath with blue pinstripe wallpaper features a white tile floor and corner shower, and white cabinetry.
Lucky is the guest who stays in Bedroom #2, for it also has French doors to the patio and hot tub. This room is a bit more masculine with dark striped wallpaper and royal blue bedding with red plaid accents. The full size bed is custom crafted of oak and wrought iron. A lovely hand-painted bedside chest, rocker, and armoire complete the room.
The adjoining bath features coordinating wallpaper, white cabinetry, and white tile floor and tub/shower.
Bedroom #3 is feminine and sweet. The custom crafted full size pine poster bed is dressed in rose and pink quilted bedding. An armoire, rocker, desk with chair, and large framed mirror all complement the framed European posters and a floral print with an ornate frame.
Rich paisley wallpaper sets off the white tile of the floor and tub/shower surround.
Bedroom #4 would make Laura Ashley proud. The “Rose Room” is aptly named given the rose wallpaper, coordinating rosebud shades, and the lovely antique armoire with rose fabric insets. The full size knotty pine bed dons lovely floral pinstripe bedding. A matching pine dresser with hand painted oval mirror and two chairs complete this charming room. Top it off with lots of windows, and French doors to the patio.
The adjoining bath has petite floral wallpaper and a window that peeks out to the mountains and blue skies. A white double vanity, white cabinetry, and white tile floor and tub/shower surround make this bathroom gleam.
Also, accessible from the foyer, a door opens to the two-car garage with windows, built in shelving, and ski racks. A closet conceals a Frigidaire freezer so that you can stock up for those big gatherings.


EXTERIOR FEATURES

Fabulous, expansive views of the Snowmass Club golf course and mountains to the west.
Plentiful heated deck space extends the living and entertaining area wrapping around the NE corner of the home. Three lower level bedrooms open to a heated patio and hot tub. The master has its own private heated deck.
Lot offers step-out, heated terraces as well as sloping hills for larger views of the NE valley; western slope with tree groves protects from neighboring developments.
A very quiet, private location at the end of a cul-de-sac.
The home is surrounded by native aspen and evergreen trees.
Protection from the western sun in the summer and exposure to the eastern sun in the winter keeps the home cool in the summer months and warm during the long winter months for low utility bills.
Free irrigation water! All irrigation water is provided by snowmelt and a neighboring stream and maintained by the Fox Run HOA.


ADDITIONAL REMARKS

A quiet neighborhood located just two minutes from the Two Creeks ski lift.
A neighborhood where you’ll know your neighbors, whether meeting them strolling down the street in the summer or at the annual neighborhood New Years Eve party. A handful of full-time residents offers a familiarity in community and a true feeling of “returning home” from visit to visit.
