Beyond all these little touches, there is a lot to love about the home itself. The log home architecture is simply stunning. When you enter, the main living room is straight ahead. Framed by a beautiful arch, the comfy furniture, massive stone fireplace, and soaring vaulted ceilings make this a room you'll really enjoy living in. Just past the arch is a nice long formal dining table for 8, bar area, and south facing french doors that lead to the deck. Natural light streams through the doors and arched windows above to bathe the whole space in natural light. Also in this room you have a vintage desk which is ideal your keys or gloves and hats. We hope you don't use it for working during your vacation, but your choice!
On one side of this great room, you'll find the spacious kitchen and secondary dining area. On the other, the master suite. This main level master bedroom is a really nice size. It easily accommodates a King bed, large bedside tables, a large leather reading chair with ottoman, and an armoire. This bedroom has south facing french doors for deck access and west facing windows as well. tongue and groove wood ceilings over massive wood beams are present here and throughout the home. The curtains, area rug and lovely quilt bedding soften the space just the right amount. You'll sleep well here! This master suite also has a walk in closet and private bathroom. The master bathroom has a jacuzzi tub as well as a separate shower, and a north facing window, allowing for a great cross breeze throughout the master suite.
The kitchen here is a real treat. It has an old timey farmhouse style to it, but of course all the modern appurtenances. Antiqued cabinetry complements the claw footed iron and steel gas range and oven with hood. You'll find built in plate holders plus glass windowed cabinets and open shelving with wainscoting backboards that create a lovely visual display but also makes finding what you need at little bit easier. Even the dishwasher has a custom cabinet panel to make the space more appealing. The plentiful amount of floor space between the two sides of this kitchen redefine what a galley kitchen can be. This room is so large that it easily accommodates an 8 seat dining table. Just off of the large kitchen is a full bathroom, then the laundry and mud room, and garage access. On the other side of the kitchen is yet another set of french doors leading the deck. The deck wraps around the whole southern front half of the home, and includes the private hot tub, gas BBQ grill, outdoor dining set, and nice views of the Steamboat Ski Resort and the southern Park Range.
The master suite is nice and big, but the other 4 bedrooms are even bigger. They are all equal in size, and with 2 bedrooms upstairs, and 2 bedrooms downstairs, on opposite sides of each floor, these 4 bedrooms are spread out to the 4 corners of the home, which creates great privacy and separation of space when you want it. These 4 bedrooms are plenty wide, but extra long, giving you so much space! Let's explore the upstairs bedrooms first. When you head upstairs, there is a large landing with a sitting area that rests well below the great room's soaring vaulted ceilings. This area both connects and separates the two upper bedrooms. On the east side of the home is what most would consider the secondary master bedroom. This second bedroom has a King size bed, private balcony with ski area views, vaulted ceilings, sitting area, and a TV. On the west side, the third bedroom has 2 Queen beds, one on each end of the room, with plenty of space for a desk, dresser, and armoire in between, plus closet nooks in all 4 corners of the room. Both of these upper level bedrooms have vaulted tongue and groove ceilings with exposed beams, and arched windows.
Heading downstairs from the main level, you'll find the lower living room is even bigger than the main living room. It is large enough to accommodates multiple sofas and loveseats focused around a large HDTV, and still has room for a table that is ideal for board games, puzzles, or tablets and laptops. This lower living room has two sets of french doors that lead out to a large patio that borders the whole south side of the home. The mature landscaping and overhead deck make this patio area nice and private and provide shade, but still allow a good bit of natural light to filter through to the lower level living and bedrooms. Each of the two lower level bedrooms have a Queen bed and french doors leading to the patio area. One of the bedrooms has a sitting area with TV and the other has a large desk, ideal for the workaholic in your group.
This home is centrally located, convenient to the ski resort as well as shopping areas, yet it is found on a short, quiet cul de sac. From this home, on a nice day, you might walk to the ski area base or grocery stores, but you don't have to walk. You will have the option to ride the city's free bus, since the purple line picks up and drops off within a few hundred yards of the home. The purple line is a short loop which comes by every 20 minutes and is a short loop which makes for quick rides to or from the slopes.
