About This Home
Tucked away on a quiet, sun-drenched, south-facing 7,500-square-foot lot in Aspen's coveted West End, 716 W. Francis blends historic charm with modern livability. Originally built in 1888, this Victorian gem was thoughtfully reimagined in 2007 by Lyon Stratton Powell Interior Design, and most recently refreshed by Gina Turchin Interiors with a clean, contemporary vision that honors its heritage. Character-rich details—like original stained-glass windows and doors—remain, alongside curated furnishings and fixtures imported from France and Switzerland. Local lore even remembers it as campaign headquarters for Hunter S. Thompson's legendary ''Freak Power'' run.
Wide plank reclaimed whitewashed oak floors span nearly 5,000 square feet of bright, functional living space. The main level features a welcoming great room with a gas fireplace, formal dining for eight, and a built-in breakfast banquette off the kitchen. French doors open to a shaded wraparound porch and fenced yard—ideal for easy indoor-outdoor living on one of the West End's sunniest lots. The updated kitchen showcases white quartzite slab counters, stainless steel Wolf, Sub-Zero, and new Bosch appliances (2025), plus ample storage. Also on the main level: a private en suite guest bedroom, powder room, and a mudroom that connects to an oversized, epoxy-floored two-car garage with built-in gear storage.
Upstairs, the sunny primary suite offers vaulted ceilings, dual window seats, a built-in dresser, and three closets—including a lock-off. The marble-tiled primary bath features dual vanities, a soaking tub, and a steam shower. A second en suite bedroom includes dual walk-in closets, another steam shower, and access to a private deck with views of Shadow Mountain. The lower level includes two additional en suite bedrooms—one with a window well and terraced brick garden that fills the space with natural light—a powder room, and a theater-style media room with a new projector (2025), surround sound (2023), bar seating, and a large laundry room with double stackable washer/dryers, folding counter, and sink.
Lovingly cared for by the same local manager since 2007, recent updates include: hot water tanks, Bosch microwave/oven, new sod, deck refinishing, sink hardware (2025), kitchen counters and backsplash (2021), and whitewashed oak flooring (2017). Tech upgrades include flat-screen TVs, a full surround sound system with outdoor rock speakers, and the latest Sonos app integration—perfect for entertaining. Additional exterior features include a dedicated landscaping/storage shed, a fully fenced perimeter ideal for pets, and mature landscaping beneath a trimmed cottonwood canopy.
Just blocks from the Benedict Music Tent, Aspen Institute, Aspen Meadows, and the cross-town shuttle, this five-bedroom, five-full and two-half-bath home offers the ideal blend of location, comfort, and turn-key readiness. With a strong rental history and consistent summer demand, 716 W. Francis is a rare West End opportunity—peacefully tucked away, yet close to everything.
