A balance of privacy, comfort, community and function is a harmony that’s hard to come by. This deluxe home with large windows, vaulted ceilings, and a wraparound porch provides expansive views of the Mount Zirkel Wilderness and a calm, picturesque pond. With a newly remodeled kitchen and fresh paint colors alongside classic accents such as a stone-wrapped wood burning fireplace, the main level of this mountain retreat has a clean and updated flow that still maintains the warmth of cabin comfort. With an open floor plan and sight lines from the kitchen to the fireplace, it offers a cozy gathering place, while the downstairs level is a luxurious private master suite, complete with a soak-worthy bathtub and a stand-alone shower. One main-level bedroom has a private bathroom attached. A tankless water heater and furnace provide cost-efficient and well-circulated heat during the winter, while the southern-facing façade quickly melts snow off the roof and fills the home with warm, natural light during the day. If your idea of a perfect day consists of cool mountain lakes, open-air views, the crisp scent of evergreen and the warm crackle of a wood-burning stove, this Colorado retreat is the perfect place to call home. Tucked away in the Willow Creek community, it won’t be difficult to find like-minded nature aficionados who care deeply about each other and the beautiful landscape they get to call home. Just minutes away from Hahn’s Peak, Steamboat Lake, and miles of National Forest, it’s the perfect adventure base for hikers, bikers, skiers, boaters, and outdoor-lovers of all ages. The backyard opens up to a space that, in the winter, is the perfect sledding hill for the young or the young at heart! Don’t miss out on a wonderful opportunity to live in a true hidden gem!
