Unique and affordable opportunity in a highly desirable location in Chalet 1 with trees and mountain and valley views. This home is well constructed by the owner/builder as a residence and highly functional work/shop space. The downstairs great room includes conventional living spaces such as a kitchen with propane cookstove, while also accommodating less conventional uses that might require large doors, open spaces, work tables, concrete floors and industrial lighting. Downstairs also has a toilet and laundry. Natural light and forested exterior soften the downstairs ambience with views looking into the back yard through double glass doors. Stucco exterior, wood trim throughout. Many construction details show the care of build. Upstairs is an attractive bedroom area large enough to include an office and other uses. This room has solid oak floors, unusual in Crestone, wood framed windows on all sides, and a south-facing balcony nestled in the trees with beautiful mountain views. Upstairs is also a full bath with tub shower and separate toilet compartment. Outside, the grounds have a dramatic Crestone Conglomerate boulder defining the landscape off the south-facing patio, and shade trees, mostly juniper, on all sides. There is also a lean to, storage platform, and storage shed. The home itself also has an attached storage room on the north side accessed from the west-facing front of the house. The home is on the electrical grid, but hot water for domestic use and household heat are solar powered by a geo-thermal/propane backed hybrid system wholly owned by the seller. In floor radiant downstairs, hot water baseboards on the second floor. This is a unique, affordable, and functional home for the right person. All furnishings and fixtures on the property at time of showing are included in the sale. An excellent opportunity.
