INTERIOR FEATURES

Although you will fall in love with this home before you even step inside, the comfortable scale of the interior of this exquisite home makes it first and foremost, just that—a home. A home designed for living—with places to gather and places to retreat. A home designed with soaring ceilings, expansive windows, and numerous patios and balconies for seamless transition into the nature that surrounds it. Gracious archways, integral plaster walls, wide planked oak floors, timber accents, create sophisticated mountain elegance on all three levels of this stunning home.
The striking foyer sets the tone for what’s beyond. A beautifully patterned mosaic tile inset is an unexpected feature in the flagstone floor. A huge custom-forged chandelier in a deer motif with hide shades hangs above. Windows on either side provide views of surrounding greenery, but the most eye-catching feature of the entry is the full-on view of Snowmass Mountain.
Step down to the comfortably elegant living room with towering, 22-foot ceilings, iron-clad wood beams, and a wall of windows that frame the lush grounds and views of the Snowmass ski area. One of the two lovely sitting areas in this large room is situated in front of a beautiful beuamaniere woodburning fireplace. Two sets of French doors open to the flagstone patio and lovely landscape.
Step up to the intimate formal dining room. An extraordinary chandelier of carved wood and metal hangs above. A gas-log fireplace warms the dining area. Rich wood crown molding frames the ceiling while a wall of windows frames the patio and gardens.
French doors lead to the hallway and the kitchen.
Family and friends will no doubt congregate around the large black granite center island in the huge gourmet kitchen. Wide planked wood flooring, distressed alder cabinetry, black granite countertops, exquisite mosaic tile walls, timber columns, and a hanging pot rack (which is much more than a hanging pot rack) over the center island give this kitchen heart and soul. Patio and mountain views can be seen from the window over the deep, double porcelain sink with veggie sink. Test your inner gourmet with the Thermador Professional 6-burner gas range with oven, plus warming oven. Other top-of-the-line appliances include wood-front GE Monogram refrigerator/freezer with water and ice maker; wood-front Kitchen Aid dishwasher; and Sharp Carousel microwave.
Adjacent butler’s pantry makes entertaining a breeze with ample cabinet and counter space. The room has an Old World feel with distressed wood cabinets, marble countertops, a marble backsplash with mosaic tile above, a deep sink with vintage-style brass fixtures, and a slate floor. Handy extras include a large Subzero wine cooler with an integrated two-drawer refrigeration system and a laundry chute.
A glass door leads to the mudroom with distressed wood cabinets, marble countertops, and large window. One door leads to a dog run, another leads to an oversized 3-car garage.
The breakfast room of all breakfast rooms has large windows on two sides that look out to the patio and aspen trees. A glass door leads to the patio with an outdoor dining area should you decide to start your day there.
The main level family room is an easy gathering place with a gas-log fireplace with stone surround, wood mantle and flagstone hearth; built-in shelves and cabinetry for books and entertainment system; and room for a large screen TV.
Main level powder room exudes an elegant calmness with an arched ceiling, crown molding, hammered chrome sink, shuttered window, and upholstered walls.
Guests will feel right at home in the main level guest room with its gas-log fireplace with limestone mantle and hearth flanked by antler sconces. French doors open to a slate patio that looks out to the verdant grounds. Wide planked oak floor and a double door closet accommodates guests’ belongings.
An adjoining heavenly bath features a vaulted ceiling with timber accents, Koce travertine vanity countertop with decorative tile backsplash, Kohler undermount sink with vintage-style fixtures, framed beveled mirror flanked by iron sconces, and Koce travertine tile shower with bench. Two windows—one that looks out to the wooded path, and a circular window high above bring in lots of natural light.
Look up while you are in the grand hallway of the main level and you see blue sky and pine trees through large windows, and soaring ceilings embedded with timbers. Note the details in the hall—an art niche for a prized piece, leaf-themed sconces with shades, and a limestone stairway with a gorgeous runner, plus an iron hand rail and balusters.
Upstairs, the sumptuous master suite is a sanctuary in itself, with a beautiful limestone gas-log fireplace. Rich wood built-in cabinetry and shelves that can hold a television and your most prized novels.
Throw open the French doors to a spacious L-shaped slate balcony with natural bark-covered railings and balusters. The balcony overlooks the aspen grove and lovely grounds.
The huge His and Hers dressing area/closet is ingeniously hidden behind carved wood doors that appear to be an antique armoire. Behind the “secret” doors are built-in alder drawers and shelves, track lighting, and recessed lighting. There’s a convenient door to the master bath.
Splendid master bath is voluminous and luxurious without being fussy with warm-hued marble countertops, steam shower, and jetted tub surround; His and Hers vanity areas, plus a makeup area for Her; nickel and brass fixtures; and separate commode room. You will feel as if you are bathing among the aspen trees that are framed by two windows above the tub.
