About This Property

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. Standing on any of the heated decks--or on the rooftop terrace where you can relax in 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. Completely renovated in 2010, with teak wood cabinetry and doors throughout, white stone countertops in the kitchen, hardwood floors throughout the social spaces and a light and open floor plan. 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, coffee by the gas fireplace and evenings end in the warmth of a steam shower or the deep, jetted tub. The roomy sitting area or office enclave, a walk-in closet, and a private riverfront deck complete this suite. Above, the great room extends toward Aspen Mountain through floor-to-ceiling arched windows, a generously-sized skylight, air conditioning, and ceilings that invite the alpine light deep into the living space. A contemporary fireplace is flanked by a hidden bar and a hidden desk area. The adjoining spacious kitchen--appointed with double ovens, Sub Zero refrigerator and an 8 burner cooktop which includes a grill and a griddle--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 with a new hot tub, boasting sweeping views of everything. Two assigned heated garage spaces, a 100 sq.ft. storage room, 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, with a setting and architecture that cannot be replicated.
