1180 Black Birch Dr Aspen, CO 81611

Surrounded by a grove of Aspen trees sits this award winning Rowland and Broughton designed home. Because the original house was larger than the current building code allows, the owners decided to remodel versus building from scratch. The result is a 5722 square foot modern home that incorporates the iconic gable form of the original house. Reclaimed wood from Montana is used both on the exterior and interior of the house. The contrast of the wood and modern elements such as standing seam metal siding, roofs and windows is striking. This light filled residence is enhanced by floor to ceiling glass windows and doors throughout. Vaulted ceilings and glass filled gables contribute to the feeling of a home that brings the outdoors inside.Although the general design is an open floor plan, the living room and kitchen are separate, yet part of a large entertaining area. The Bulthaup kitchen is bookended by the dining room and breakfast room. The house comprises only 2 levels with no sub grade living space. The floorplan is one of practicality yet also one of ease and flow. Upon entering through the large front door, you step into a generous foyer which is set off by the beautiful open wood and stone double height staircase. The main floor has 2 guest suites a large office with private outdoor patios and media room. Enter from the 3 car garage and you will find a mud room and roomy light filled laundry. Upstairs is a very large master suite with his and hers closets and a spa like bathing area with oval Japanese soaking tub. It almost feels like you are floating in the tops of the Aspens trees which peer into the expansive windows. There is another guest suite and den that is situated so that the owners and guests alike can relax, read and have some quite time to themselves. This home is made for the those who love to live outdoors. From the living room and the kitchen, you can open up walls of glass and spread out day and night to a cover outdoor living area with fireplace and a outdoor dining room. Gather around the outdoor pizza oven and smell the aroma of fresh dough baking in the wood fired oven. On the upper level, lounge under the sun or stars and take a hot tub after a long day on the slopes or after a bike ride to the Maroon Bells. There are so many places indoors and out to socialize or sneak away for some quite time alone. It may sound cliché but this really is a home for all seasons!
