Are you looking for the charm of historic Crested Butte paired with the serenity of open space living? Do you seek a large home with ample space (both indoors and out) that is still within blocks of Elk Avenue? Look no further! The Butte Avenue Retreat, a premier in-town single family home, allows you to have it all.
Featuring five bedrooms and four bathrooms, this home is the perfect gathering place for larger groups. Situated on three town lots (a rarity here in Crested Butte) at the end of a cul-de-sac and perched right next to Coal Creek, this is a postcard perfect snapshot of heaven in the mountains.
Set on the last block north of town limits (bordering open space), there are no structures beyond the Butte Avenue Retreat. From all aspects of the home, your view is as wide as your imagination! To the north lies the Slate River Valley, Paradise Divide, and the West Elk Mountains; to the east the mighty Mt. Crested Butte; to the west is the quaint historic town of Crested Butte; and finally the southern aspect showcases the vast Gunnison Valley.
Having undergone recent and extensive renovations, the Butte Avenue Retreat is ready to welcome you in great comfort and with ample amenities. From the outside you can immediately appreciate the layout of the property. Multiple decks, patio spaces and a huge, manicured (fenced) lawn provide many ways to enjoy the outdoors. Whether it’s a sun baked spring day in March or a wildflower explosion in July you’ll love spending time just lazing around the house as the great Rocky Mountain experience comes right to you.
Once inside the house the open and well-planned layout appeal to those seeking a cozy yet entertaining place to call home. The warm Spanish tiles welcome you in to the foyer where you can pop off your shoes and get ready to relax. Snuggle up to a good book in the lower level den, enjoy a movie night by the fireplace in the great room… or just pamper yourself in the master suite, complete with a deep soaking tub.
When it’s time to socialize and entertain the whole group, you’re all set with a fantastic chef’s kitchen at the ready. Granite countertops compliment the Sub Zero and Thermadore appliances that will excite the chef among you. The accompanying bar top is a great place for friends and family to gather as they watch the cooking action underway. And when it’s time to sit down for that wonderful meal, make your way to the oversized dining area flanked by million dollar views of Mt. Crested Butte.
A high point of the property is found in the great room where luxury, comfort and technology come together to provide your own personal oasis. The large fireplace will keep you warm and cozy in true mountain spirit and the overstuffed chairs and sofas call you in to relax away. With a large screen TV, surround sound, DVD and satellite service, your choice of entertainment is just a click away. And a cinematic-like wall of windows wraps the room in the majestic view corridor of the Slate River, the West Elk Mountains, and beyond.
The five bedroom home hosts multiple suites with oversized accommodations. With two king beds, three queen beds, and en-suite bathrooms with jetted tubs and multiple head showers, you can be sure that you will rest and live well.
And when it’s time to enjoy the outdoors, your play area is literally steps from your door. Endless hiking and biking require no use of cars, just hop on the bike or lace up those hiking shoes and your adventure has begun. In the wintertime you will love the one-block stroll to the (free) mountain bus stop! And when you’re ready to enjoy the truly amazing dining and shopping Crested Butte has to offer, a lovely walk through the west side neighborhood of CB brings you to the heart of the action on Elk Avenue… only blocks away.
No longer do you have to choose between the serenity of seclusion and the convenience of in-town living…why settle when you can come to the Butte Avenue Retreat! |
