With super insulated ICF (insulated concrete block), this house will keep you warm and cozy regardless of outside temperatures. Offering a 1,964 sq ft home with 5 bedrooms and 2 baths on a ½ acre lot in Chalet 1. The home is hooked up to electricity, city water and sewer and has good internet connection (according to country standards). The home was built in 2011 with energy efficient European hot water radiators that run on propane and keep the heating costs to a minimum. As you enter into the mud room, you’ll find shelves, hooks and cubbies to keep all your shoes and coats organized, leading to a spacious living room with kid and pet friendly industrial carpets that are easy to keep clean. A fabulous, free standing wood stove which provides secondary heating and cozy atmosphere. It is surrounded by a unique brick wall that radiates heat into every room in the house, even long after the fire has gone out. From the living room, there is access to a fully finished basement/crawl space that can also be used for storage. Under the concrete floor in the crawl space there is a passive radon system that helps release radon gas through a vent on top of the roof. This is a valuable asset for any Colorado mountain property. The kitchen offers plenty of cabinet space as well as an extra-large kitchen island with pantry storage below. From the kitchen, there is also access to a laundry and boiler area with shelf and hanging space hidden behind closet-doors. Both dryer and range runs on propane for extra energy efficiency. The kitchen leads to a wonderful sun room that is the perfect place to meditate or enjoy a cup of tea. Both bathrooms have very deep bath tubs and lots of closet space for towels and toiletries. The Master bedroom has two extra-large closets with about 12 ft of hanging space and custom made cubbie- shelves. There are a total of 5 bedrooms in the house with closets in every room. The Garage The 900 sq ft garage is fully equipped with enough room for two cars. There is also an insulated office space that is easy to heat, a workshop area, and an attic space for extra storage. The garage is fully insulated and frost free. The Exterior The exterior of the house was professionally stuccoed. With concrete walls, maintenance free vinyl windows and fire proof pro-panel (metal) roof, the house is fire resistant enough that insurance is not a problem. It is also very close to the local fire station, and the nearest fire hydrant is only a block away. The property is nicely tucked into the trees for additional privacy, and the view of the mountains behind the house is breathtaking! So, if you are looking for a compact house that is well designed, energy efficient, family/pet friendly, numerous places to store any and all necessary living essentials and an oversized garage, this might be the perfect fit for you!
