A distinguished five bedroom three and one-half bath residence situated with privacy and solitude on 36 acres encompassing both banks of the Slate River and a short 2/10 mile walk to the northwest side Butte Avenue neighborhood and the dining, shopping and arts facilities of the Town of Crested Butte. The 3,853 sq. ft. residence was designed by architect Eric Rymshaw of Fury Design of Philadelphia. The style of the home is the Crested Butte vernacular of individual, combined sections. Features include a gourmet cherry wood and maple kitchen with Sub-Zero and Viking appliances and a separate, sunny breakfast room situated off the kitchen that captures the morning sunrise with views south to nearby Crested Butte. A light and bright sun room opens to the south-facing deck with views to Town and the Slate River riparian wetlands. The living room features vaulted 12/12 lofty ceiling, 2-story dry-stacked natural rock wood burning fireplace, wide-board oak floors, Douglas fir timber trusses and six 12' tall windows with scenic views to Paradise Divide and across the Slate River to Mt. Crested Butte. The home is designed with the living area on the first level and 3 bedrooms in the north section.
