INTERIOR FEATURES

This refreshing two-level duplex home lives comfortably. Your plants will thrive here and so will you, given the open floorplan and many windows. The thoughtful design includes abundant storage and closet space; high-end lighting and plumbing fixtures; dimmer switches; and built-in stereo speakers throughout the home and on the patio. Hand-textured walls and rich solid wood doors provide a high quality environment. Versatile top-down, bottom-up honeycomb shades cover most windows. This home is cable TV and Satellite ready.
All interior walls and ceilings are fully insulated for superior sound proofing. Air space and two separate interior walls between the duplex units insure that you won’t hear a peep from the next door neighbors.
Step into the slate tile entry with coat closet and take in the spacious feel of the main living area.
In the living room, knotty pine cathedral ceilings with recessed lighting create volume. Plush neutral carpet creates warmth. Large windows fill the room with morning light. A free-standing gas log stove sits on a raised platform of granite tile ready to warm you on a cold winter’s eve.
A lovely, interesting French bronze and glass chandelier is the centerpiece of the dining room. A sliding glass door opens to a charming patio surrounded by dogwoods for a sense of privacy and outdoor speakers for your favorite relaxing music.
The well-arranged kitchen that is open to the living and dining rooms will inspire you to entertain. Rich cherry cabinets, granite tile countertops, and slate tile flooring are just the beginning. Beautiful cabinets feature decorative hardware and soft closing doors. A Reverse Osmosis water purification system in the kitchen and refrigerator insures pure refreshment.
  All stainless appliances include KitchenAid side-by-side refrigerator/freezer with water and ice maker; brand new KitchenAid flat-top range and convection oven with automatic temperature gauge; Amana built-in microwave oven; and Amana dishwasher.
The powder room is amazing with adobe walls, slate tile floors, cherry and granite vanity with oval sink and brushed bronze fixtures, frosted glass and iron light fixtures, and wrought iron tile racks. To top off the Santa Fe motif, there is a handcrafted tin-framed mirror over the vanity.
In the hall to the mudroom/laundry room you’ll find a double hall closet with built-ins, plus a deep under-stair closet with shelving (a very intelligent use of space, indeed).
The mudroom/laundry room also features a double closet with built-ins for storage, in addition to cream
colored cabinets, a clothes rack, ceramic tile floor, an Amana washer and dryer, and a window for fresh air.
A door leads to a garage large enough for two cars, plus your recreational toys. There is a handy hot and cold faucet with hose connector.
The carpeted stairs to the upper level are extra-wide—another intelligent design feature. You’ll not only
appreciate this when you move in, but enjoy the feeling of spaciousness long after you’ve hung the last picture. Sconces of French bronze and white glass don the walls along the way.
Natural light fills the upstairs hallway thanks to three windows that look out to Basalt Mountain. A double closet with built-ins is opposite the windows.
Very comfortable Master Suite with vaulted ceilings, built-in ceiling speakers with independent volume controls, independent reading lights and a ceiling fan. In addition to many windows, there is a glass door to a deck with wood railings and decorative iron balusters fit for Romeo & Juliet.
The spacious adjoining master bath is well designed with an adjacent carpeted walk-in closet accessed through an arched doorway. The calming bath of beige and muted ceramic teal tile features a Jacuzzi tub, Euro-glass shower, and double vanity with brushed nickel fixtures. Pewter leaf motif lighting with white and gray glass complements the vanity area.
Down the hall, a full bath is conveniently designed with the vanity area separated from the tub/shower and commode by a door. The vanity features a white porcelain tile countertop and brushed nickel sink fixtures. Lovely light fixture illuminates the vanity area. The tub/shower is surrounded by light gray porcelain tile with subtle leaf and floral accent tiles.
Your guests will enjoy the mountain views from guest bedroom #1. Vaulted ceilings with recessed lighting and a double closet with mirrored doors and double clothes racks will make them feel at home.
Guest bedroom #2 could double as a home office. This room has vaulted ceilings, recessed lighting, and built-in speakers with independent volume control for added luxury. A paneled door opens to a surprisingly large walk-in closet with vaulted ceilings and built-in shelving and racks.
