Aspen Lakes View Home

For the exterior of this handsome one–story home the original homeowners chose lap siding, manufactured stone veneer, and strong timber detailing (particularly at the entrance). These finishes and details work beautifully with the home’s unique rooflines. The house also features a lovely enclosed front courtyard area, and once inside, fantastic views to the rear and sides.

You enter the stone wall enclosed front courtyard by passing between massive stone–wrapped columns topped by a timber gable, and you enter the house by passing between another pair of columns that support a much larger and taller gable. The courtyard measures 37′ wide by 26′ deep, so there’s plenty of room for outdoor furniture.

Upon entering the foyer, the view straight ahead is to and through the great room. The ceiling in this room vaults from 10′ at the walls to a dramatic 18′! It features a centrally–located fireplace, and a wall of picture windows and sliding glazed doors with transom windows above face the rear yard. Next to the great room, and open to it, is the formal dining room, which also features a wall of picture windows and a sliding glazed door facing the rear, along with another glazed wall facing the side of the house.

The gourmet kitchen is perfectly placed to focus on the dining room, the family room, and a window–wrapped nook between them. The kitchen features a huge curved island, plenty of counter and cabinet space, a built–in desk area, and a large walk–in pantry. Like most of the rooms in this house, the ceiling is set at a lofty 10′. The family room has a large fireplace beside a large picture window, and sliding glass doors leading to the back yard.

Just off the kitchen there is a short hallway that leads to two bedrooms (each with its own full bath and walk–in closet), the utility/laundry room, and a two–car garage. An additional single–car garage is located beyond the utility room, connected by a covered breezeway. And just off the foyer there’s a den with corner windows facing the courtyard, and a powder room.

The remainder of the house is dedicated to the master suite. The bedroom features a coved ceiling that vaults to 12′, double glazed doors with transoms above that open to the rear, additional windows with views to the side, and a large sitting area with a corner fireplace. The bath area features a huge soaking tub beneath large windows, an extra large shower, two separated sinks, a private toilet, and a truly enormous walk–in closet. Double doors in the dressing area open to the courtyard, where a hot tub could be located.
