Steamboat

The mountain retreat you’ve dreamed of, by Oak Valley Homes.

You have to see it – and the views – to believe it.

Perched on a 1.33-acre mountain-top lot, this home, with nearly 4,200 finished square feet, offers panoramic views of the town, the ski area and the Yampa Valley.

This is classic Colorado post-and-beam mountain-style construction. The exterior features wood siding and raw metal with a rich natural patina, along with a combination of shingles and metal roofing. Top-quality windows feature double pane, metal cladding and a low-e rating.

A two-car detached garage is linked to the house by a covered breezeway. Brazilian hardwood decking surrounds the exterior of the home and offers a great retreat to relax and enjoy the vista.

Inside, you’ll find plenty of room for family and friends to share tales of the active mountain lifestyle: three levels, five+ bedrooms and four full baths. A great room at the center of things has vaulted ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows. The main level features wide-plank Australian Cypress hardwood floors. Knotty alder interior doors are used throughout, along with wood and tile flooring and luxury carpet. The master suite features framed views of Mount Werner, a walk-in closet and jetted tub.

You’ll be warm and comfortable in the winter, with in-floor radiant heat, plus a secondary natural-gas furnace, and three gas-log fireplaces. Central air conditioning will maintain a pleasant environment throughout the year. A sprinkler system provides fire protection, and there is a cutting edge home management and security system.

The gourmet kitchen features all you’d expect – high end appliances; dishwasher, garbage disposal, refrigerator, microwave, a double gas oven and a gas cook top with range hood. Granite countertops and a surplus of storage in beautiful wood cabinetry makes this a cook’s dream.

Since no mountain home is complete without a dog, there’s also a dog wash – perfect for cleaning up Rover after a romp in the woods. The downstairs features a wine cellar and wet bar with beverage refrigerator, theatre room and outdoor patio with hot tub connection. The entire house is wired for central sound, multi-line phones, as well as cable and wireless internet.

You get all this, in a private yet convenient location – midway between downtown Steamboat and the Steamboat Ski Area.
