One-of-a-kind custom home of signature mining-influenced architecture will steal your heart! “The Silver Belle” is a mountain modern masterpiece overlooking the historic town of Creede and the canyon surroundings. This iconic Creede home in Amethyst Heights sits on a little less than one acre, near the overlook where everyone stops with their loved ones for photos of the canyon and downtown. All daily living needs are met on the main level, which has no steps, is ADA accessible, featuring porcelain wood-look tile throughout the main level and has all you need for a happy day in the mountains - entry closet, walk-in pantry with butler sink, Finlandia cedar sauna in the ½ bath, office, primary suite with custom closets and laundry, living room with Xtrordinair propane fireplace, and kitchen with a continent-sized island. With ample storage, low maintenance cost and energy bills, this house is perfect for full-time living, or lock-and-leave. Thoughtfully designed by the owners and newly built in 2020 by one of the premier builders in southern Colorado, the home feels like it’s been here since 1892. Vintage reclaimed lumber adorns the expansive beams and fireplace. Polished steel grey granite, neo-industrial lighting and aged corrugated metal accents fuse with cutting-edge decor. The stairwell artistic vision transports you to another era, as if descending yet for another shift in the mines. The lower level with its separate entrance, kitchenette, bath and 2 bedrooms including two built in Murphy Beds can be used as separate living quarters. One lower bedroom is currently being used as a guitar building workshop and could easily convert to any type of hobby or artist studio, fly tying room, sewing room, or a guest bedroom. Insulated Concrete Form (ICF) construction and spray foam insulation takes full advantage of thermal heat storage. In-floor radiant heat powered by propane is the cleanest and most efficient and cost effective in the area. Marvin double-pane windows that can be cleaned from the inside provide excellent cross breezes so that they cool the home on the hottest of days. Electric double-cell insulating blinds keep things cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Self-sealing Corten steel and reclaimed wood merge for a trouble-free exterior. Working with only the top quality craftsmen in the area, from the tiles to the custom cabinetry, no detail has been overlooked. Meticulously maintained and lovingly thought out, each space and fixture serves its function and has a charming mining design. Breathtaking and unparalleled views of Willow Canyon, the Pinnacles, Mammoth and Seven Sisters Mountains, and downtown Creede. Enjoy a good book, morning coffee or evening drinks on one of three outdoor living spaces. Hummingbirds, Clark’s nutcracker, Stellar Jay, finches, and thousands of migratory birds enjoy the perches too. Watch the 4th of July parade from your balcony, or walk down your private trail into town for all the festivals that Creede hosts throughout the year. Wildlife abounds and lives in the space nearby, so be ready to wake up to deer, fox, and the occasional bear family traveling through your yard.
