78 Janet Place

Nestled against the hillside with views up and down the valley, this custom 3094 square foot home is located at the end of a cul-de-sac providing a quiet setting and privacy. The .57 acre elevated home-site insures unencumbered views of the surrounding mountains, while being protected by a mature grove of aspen complete with a seasonal stream. Utilizing green building and energy efficiency, the owners have created an inviting home that remains cool during the summer and retains heat in the winter. The main level living and dining areas open onto a spacious covered porch while the adjoining sunroom brings the outdoors inside during the colder months. The office/den/4th bedroom opens out to the back yard, which borders the CBS back fence line and the open space of a 35-acre parcel. Spacious Tuscan style kitchen has cork flooring, custom built cabinetry from reclaimed antiques, sandstone countertops, maple butcher block island and walk-in pantry. On the main second level you’ll find two bedrooms, each with their own private bath, laundry room & linen. The large third bedroom and bath, located in a private wing above the garage, is easily converted to a rental apartment, media room or two smaller bedrooms. The possibilities are endless. The south facing sunroom is ideal for morning coffee, or enjoying the warmth at the end of the day. A covered porch runs the length of the house inviting long summer afternoons of iced tea and good novels. Listen to the wind blow through the aspen forest and the seasonal spring run gently over the rocks. A heated two car oversized garage allows for plenty of storage. With artistic features and reclaimed materials throughout, this cozy mountain home is waiting for you. Kitchen : The kitchen is quite large and forms the main hang-out area during family time and parties. The kitchen flows into the center hearth with the woodstove and then into the dining and living areas. There’s a butcher block eating and prep island in the center with plenty of space. Two sinks and multiple work surfaces make it easy to have a blast creating lovely meals. The counter-tops are sandstone – great for hot pots and pans. Many of the cabinets were created individually from antique and recycled wood. Clean-up is easy in the deep farmhouse style sink. And don’t worry if you drop a dish on the cork floor. It won’t break! Living/Dining: A favorite aspect of the house is the flow of the downstairs. Each room offers a feeling of privacy yet they flow into each other. There is an open view from one space into the next. During larger family gatherings and parties it feels like everyone is together and at the same time able to feel cozy in smaller groups. The dining area holds a 7 foot table and we’ve often added two others and sat up to 30 people utilizing the hallway too! The sunroom opens onto the dining area and can be closed off during the colder winter months. (For those who prefer more openness, the 1/2 wall between the dining and living areas can easily be taken down.) Bedrooms: Three dedicated bedrooms with possibility for a fourth. Two Master Suites, each with a private connected bath and lots of closet space. The main master and one bedroom are located above the main living area of the the house. Main master is a suite with bedroom, walk-in closet and bath separated from the hallway with a door. The other bedroom also has its own bathroom accessed right outside the bedroom door. The second master is accessed by its own set of stairs and occupies 600 square feet above the two car garage. The size of the second master bedroom lends itself to the possibility of being divided into two, or even closed off from the rest of the house and used as a separate studio rental. In addition, there is a downstairs “den” that also could be converted into a small fourth bedroom. Baths: Three full baths and one powder room in the house: One steam shower with two benches. Two tubs, one deep and six feet long.
