About This Home

Own a private mountain retreat for the price of a one-bedroom condo. This recently updated, move-in-ready two-bedroom townhouse serves as the ultimate base camp for outdoor enthusiasts, perfectly positioned between the Denver Metro area and Colorado’s world-class ski resorts. Step inside to a bright, open interior featuring new Pella windows and southern exposure that floods the home with natural light. The main level boasts durable new luxury vinyl plank flooring, while high-end carpeting leads to two comfortable upstairs bedrooms. Modern upgrades include a new dishwasher, refrigerator, high-efficiency lighting, and fresh paint throughout. For added convenience, the home features private, in-unit laundry. The exterior offers a rare blend of privacy and panoramic views. Enjoy spectacular sunrises from your small front yard or host a BBQ on the rear patio. The property includes a covered assigned carport, and a dedicated exterior storage —perfect for stowing mountain bikes and ski equipment. Located in vibrant Clear Creek County, this quiet community offers incredible flexibility as a primary residence or an investment property (STR allowed if owner-occupied). You are minutes from the charm of Empire, Georgetown, and Idaho Springs, and just a short drive to Loveland, Winter Park, and A-Basin ski areas. With hiking, rafting, and fishing right outside your door, and open space where dogs can roam off-leash, this home offers the quintessential Colorado lifestyle with unmatched highway access.
