Designed in the likeness of a Swiss chalet, this unique and generous mountain home at the heart of East Vail delivers graceful elegance and true, usable size. It is built for the large family holidays, for family and friends. Nearly 6,000 square feet of wonderfully allocated, sunny private spaces sit beneath soaring plank ceilings and walls of glass, warmed by a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace and finished in wide-plank white oak. A chef's kitchen with a Viking range opens to the common rooms. The beautiful primary suite is placed to reach the kitchen and gathering spaces, its travertine bath framed by a gabled window full of aspen. But the magic of the house is the separation into two equally sized wings, one for family and one for others.Ski with a friend, ski with a grandkid, then come back to warmth, privacy, and an authentic chalet. Skip a day, read a book or watch a game, and roam living areas with their 25-foot ceilings, sunny rooms, and decks. Drive or take the East Vail bus. A three-car garage and an elevator make for easy days, and for Front Range buyers it is easier to drive up and back, saving hours of driving and hassle.The setting delivers a great neighborhood among eight-figure homes, walking distance to parks, trails, and bike paths, with views in every direction. Aspens enhance the summer, and the winter sun is the real gift: this is the sunniest site in East Vail, still holding its warmth when others fall into shadow.Offered fully furnished, with appointments and art of your choice, full turnkey from the start.
