Have you been looking for that special home that's unlike anything else in the Valley? Something with unique style that celebrates the new architecture known as Mountain Modern? This 1500 square foot 2 bedroom 2 bath home perched on the benches overlooking mountains and valleys of the Ouray County area is ideally suited for all of your needs and situated just far enough away from the business and roads of the towns while making it perfect to enjoy all that our area has to enjoy. It was built in 2008 making use of smart design and construction, including rusty metal siding and roofing, concrete form foundation and in floor heating. The current owner has taken it to the next level and added an incredible amount of practical and artistic style. A two car garage was added and beautiful artful stairs and handrails were used to connect it to the home. Landscaping and terracing were beautifully crafted to make the interior spaces flow into the outdoors and give you peaceful locations to enjoy the views, wildflowers, aspen and wildlife. The main entry into the home is designed to say welcome to this Mountain Retreat, with Southwest style covered entry to shield it from the elements and southern sun. This leads in to an airlock mudroom with glass interior door that allows you your first glimpses of the cosmopolitan living space inside. This allows you to enter to the broad great room with living room, kitchen and dining room all connected with vaulted ceilings and doors leading to the gorgeous patio off of the living room on its south side and roomy Trex deck overlooking the Valley on its north. The living room has a Swedish free-standing woodstove-kind of a modern and worldly pot belly stove that you'll love whether its fired up to keep you cozy or simply acting as a decorative accent piece. The kitchen is a gourmet's dream, with center island, stainless appliances, granite and a wealth of gorgeous custom cabinetry. This is all sized and situated for a very roomy feel and to enjoy excellent light and views as you entertain with your guests and cook up your meals. The dining area is also roomy, with insets for special furnishings and it's situated for views all around and ease of access to the outdoors. Three small steps lead to the upper level, which is designed for so many situations. Most would consider the bedroom to the east the second bedroom, because it's slightly smaller, yet is has several special design features, including a small loft area above accessed by an iron access ladder, cleverly spaced windows and a slider to take you out to a private patio area. Its bathroom is off the hall just outside its door making it accessible for guests that come to stay. The hallway is designed to have a flex space, currently used as an office base-this would be perfect for homework, reading, art work, projects or gaming. This is adjacent to the primary bedroom that's nicely designed as an open suite, with beautiful bath with walk in oversized shower that offers views above and is open above for a regal, roomy feel. The bedroom walks out to its own private patio with hot tub and lush seating areas overlooking the mountains. Heating is in-floor with a smart hot water side-arm to efficiently keep things warm and cozy when the snow's flying. This is situated behind the kitchen area on the main level, where the laundry area is located as well. Of course, goodies and toys are important year round, so the newer garage below will house not just your vehicles, but also your kayaks, mountain bikes, atvs, skis and camping gear. There's plenty of room to park additional vehicles-even your camper or Sprinter van down below so that they're ready when you are. Come see this very special home today-it celebrates all that Ridgway, Ouray and Telluride have to offer-and celebrates the mountain life that you and those you love enjoy throughout the world!
