About This Home

A striking mid-century modern home in the heart of Buena Vista, with front-row views of the Collegiate Peaks and the kind of build quality that's genuinely rare at any price point. Situated in Northside, an award winning development just three blocks from Main Street and the Arkansas River, this 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath residence was built to ZERH and NGBS standards with a low HERS rating. Solar panels, wiring for EV charging, an air source heat pump with A/C, and a smart home energy system keep operating costs low and the carbon footprint lower. Inside, the main level opens up with 10-foot ceilings, an office or den, mudroom, and a well-appointed kitchen featuring a large island, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and generous storage and workspace. Upstairs, vaulted ceilings carry through the bedrooms and bathrooms, with laundry conveniently located on the same floor. Custom cabinetry, oversized windows, and wood flooring run throughout. Out back, a fenced yard with grass, mature trees, a rear patio, and xeriscaping strikes a nice balance between low maintenance and real outdoor living. A covered front porch faces the street, and a detached two-car garage sits off the alley. Built for the long haul - efficient, comfortable, and right where you want to be in Buena Vista.
