Own a piece of Winter Park history with this 4 bed, 4 bath home in THE PERFECT LOCATION. Enjoy the tranquil sound of Vasquez Creek flowing through the breathtaking backyard with an enormous covered deck. An outdoor kitchen, plenty of seating, gas fire pit, and hot tub make this heavenly for entertaining or simply relaxing in your own mountain paradise. A precious tree house, tall aspen trees, and abundant wildlife complete this magical space in the back. Just steps away, Cooper Creek Square offers many of the town's restaurants, shops, activities & The Lift bus stop. Hideaway Park also offers close access to enjoy outdoor concerts, fireworks, art shows, & playground & skatepark in the summer and sledding hill in the winter. This property is THE SECRET of Winter Park.
You'll love the gourmet kitchen updated in 2021, which boasts a pot-filler over a Viking six-burner stovetop, a Thermidor double oven, a double under mount scratch resistant Kraus Forteza granite composite sink, a drawer microwave, convenient under cabinet auto-lights, soft-close drawers, LG appliances, an extra bar sink and a walk-in pantry/laundry. New LVP flooring, recessed lighting and gas fireplace in the entry/living room.
In the main floor primary bedroom, relax to the glow of a private fireplace and the lull of Vasquez creek with windows and French doors opening to the incredible back deck. The primary bedroom also has new carpeting, a gorgeous feature wall, and an ensuite slate tile bath with custom rain glass door on a large walk-in shower. Another bedroom w/new carpeting and a full guest bath with a deep tub completes the main floor.
On the 2nd floor, find two more bedrooms: a sunny corner bedroom featuring amazing views and another bedroom that easily fits 2 queen beds & 1 twin bed, a small game room, and a 3/4 bath. Extra-long storage spaces are on each side of the upper level.
The deep garage has a built-in tool bench, extra storage, a second washer/dryer hookup, and a private entry to another unfinished 2 bed/1 bath addition (adds another 900 finished square feet) above the garage with vaulted ceilings, and more breathtaking views.
Tucked behind the garage, find an unbelievable private office with glass sliding doors to the creek, custom windows and tongue-in-groove aspen walls and bookcase. Between the office and the garage, you'll find the fourth bath, complete with a urinal and a shower. A cozy 2nd office or craft room, just off the home's back deck, features a bay window overlooking the treehouse and creek.
Finally, the separate cabin in front of the property was the town's old firehouse converted into a darling studio cabin with an efficient full kitchen, bath, fireplace, and small back deck. Perfect for family, guests or rental income, as the property is zoned residential-commercial.
More bonus notes...new sewer in 2022, roof of main house replaced in 2021, including the interior ceilings and walls, updated electrical and windows and NO HOA. For a convenient move, furniture can be negotiated. Huge bonus is the convenience of no stairs to deal with for everyday life...main floor living at its best, including two separate laundry areas, two bedrooms, three baths, the two offices and access to the front and backyards. Even the efficient guest cabin is one easy level (great for older family members visiting or living separately right on your property.) Only the two extra bedrooms and the unfinished apartment above the garage require stairs. This makes this home so easy to enjoy.
On top of this being the home of your dreams, it's an incredible investment opportunity, as the town of Winter Park just approved of plans to build the gondola in five years (as reported in the 8/4/23 article of Sky-Hi News). This means you'll be able to walk out your front door and hop on the gondola directly to the resort. No driving, parking or bus rides. And the property's value is secure. This home is beyond incredible. Don't miss out!
