Sobre esta casa

There are homes in Aspen that feel appropriate for the mountains, and then there are those rare few that seem to honor them. This seldom available masterpiece is one of those places--quietly tucked at the end of a non-through street, perched above the Roaring Fork River, and oriented so perfectly to Aspen Mountain that the light seems choreographed just for your pleasure. One of only four townhomes in this landscaped enclave, the property offers a level of privacy that is almost unheard of in Aspen's Core. Neighbors on just one side, the serenading river on the other, and the No Problem Joe Trail flowing past the front gate like your own personal path along the water's edge. Standing on any of the heated decks--or on the rooftop terrace ready for your private hot tub where the sky opens fully--you feel the rare luxury of space, of quiet, of a home that holds the rhythms of the river, and the mountain as part of its design. Inside, an elevator connects three generously scaled levels. The riverfront primary suite is a sanctuary, where mornings begin with the serenade of the Roaring Fork River, and evenings end in the warmth of a steam shower or the deep, jetted tub looking out to the aspens--an office enclave, with custom cabinetry, a walk-in closet, and a private deck complete this suite. Above, the great room extends toward Aspen Mountain through floor-to-ceiling arched windows, a generously-sized skylight, and ceilings that invite the alpine light deep into the living space. A stone fireplace anchors the upstairs, while a wet bar and wine cooler create a natural setting for entertaining. The adjoining spacious kitchen--appointed with Sub-Zero and Thermador appliances--frames river views, a quiet reminder that even daily moments are elevated here. Outdoor living unfolds across heated terraces that trace the river and embrace the mountain, culminating in a rooftop deck, boasting sweeping views of everything. Two assigned heated garage spaces, refinished hardwood floors, air conditioning on the main living level, and a new DaVinci fire-safe roof complement the home's enduring quality. The grounds are the pride of Aspen, with lush seasonal landscaping that has made this boutique complex one of downtown Aspen's most distinguished. Fully furnished, the residence presents beautifully as it is--and also offers the opportunity to reimagine a truly extraordinary Aspen retreat, with a setting and architecture that cannot be replicated. Homes of this scale, privacy, and riverfront presence in Aspen's Core are vanishingly rare. This is one of them. A 2-bedroom, 1-bath, owner-controlled, deed-restricted unit is also available for purchase for an additional $363,500, with housing authority approval.
