Tucked in a quiet neighborhood at the top of the Blue Sage Trail among 40 ft tall evergreens and aspen trees, you'll find a 3 bedroom, 3.5 bath gem. Between the mountain and downtown up Fish Creek Falls Road, you are 5 minutes from town and 10 minutes from the slopes. True to the architecture at the time, dark beams frame the 18' tall vaulted tongue and groove ceiling in the dining and living rooms. The open floor plan is set up for enjoying time with friends and family, and extends out to the back patio, half of which is covered. The other half is perfect for sitting in the hot tub or around the fire pit under the stars on chilly evenings. The gas log fireplace is set in the middle of a stacked rock wall and features a hearth that provides additional seating and a great spot to warm up on snowy nights. The remodeled kitchen includes Silestone counters with a backsplash that mirrors the rock wall, which together embue the home with mountain warmth, mirroring the natural beauty of the outdoors. All 3 bedrooms have private bathrooms, in addition to the powder room on the main level. The primary and a second bedroom are at opposite ends of the loft, which currently also functions as a library and music room. The spacious primary bedroom has a vaulted ceiling and shares the two-sided fireplace with the 5 piece bathroom, creating a private sanctuary. The two car garage includes cabinets, multiple sets of wall shelving, workbench and pegboard, and suspended shelving above the garage doors. Add two separate lofted sheds, and you should have plenty of storage and workspace to support the active Steamboat lifestyle. Looking to retire in Steamboat but not quite ready to make the move? Ready to utilize a 1031 exchange to set yourself up? This could be the ticket to securing your dreams! Buy in at 2024 prices rather than waiting as they continue to appreciate. Sellers would like to rent back the home through July 2025.
