The Spruce sits on a cul-de-sac in the picturesque mountain town of Empire, CO - vaulted ceilings, walk-out basement, an open floor plan that's bright, airy, and built to host. Words cannot describe the beauty of the surrounding mountains. Forty-five minutes from Denver on I-70, twenty minutes from Berthoud Pass, thirty from Winter Park. Mornings are quiet up here. Coffee on the deck, Clear Creek running near the community - close enough to hear from the front door, with a graded lot that opens the walk-out basement directly to the outdoors and a few trees softening the edges. Whether you're heading to the slopes, logging into work from the home office, or settling in for the day, the home meets you where you are. Four bedrooms and three-and-a-half baths give you room for an office, a guest room, a place to put visiting friends - whatever the week ahead asks for. The mountain-contemporary design - clean lines, big windows, beautiful finishes chosen from a curated palette designed to work together - keeps the home feeling like part of the landscape. This is a pre-sale, which means you're choosing some of the finishes from beautifully pre-designed options - flooring, cabinetry, lighting - at a stage when the home can still become yours. A.D. Wolff Custom Homes is building it, so the quality is unparalleled. Under a million, at the base of Berthoud Pass, in a community of only sixteen homes. The Spruce is one of them.
