Single Family Home/House Basalt United States

Some of the best views in the mid-valley unfold from nearly every room of this custom three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath Basalt home. Perched on a south-facing hillside above the Roaring Fork River, it looks across the pastoral landscape of Emma toward Mt. Sopris and Capitol Peak. River, open valley and mountain peaks fill the view--and the home gives you plenty of places to enjoy it. Designed to embrace its setting, the open and airy three-story floor plan is filled with natural light. The main level features a dramatic two-story living room with radiant floor heat and a double-sided gas fireplace, along with a dining area, spacious modern kitchen with casual seating, a half bath and a private corner office. Two sets of tall French doors open to an expansive composite deck and private patio, making it easy to take the living spaces outdoors and settle in with the views. The top floor is devoted to the private primary suite with two walk-in closets and a second office overlooking the valley. On the lower level, a guest bedroom and spacious non-conforming third bedroom share a generous family room with walk-out French doors. With two separate offices and gathering spaces on multiple levels, the home lives larger than its bedroom count suggests and offers welcome flexibility for work, guests and time together. Recent improvements include updated kitchen appliances and fixtures, new lower-level flooring, an oversized washer and dryer, and reinforced composite decking with power and shutoff for a hot tub and a permanent gas connection for grilling. Mature aspens, irrigated perennial gardens and flowering landscaping lend the property a sense of privacy, yet Hillcrest Drive sits almost perfectly between Old Town Basalt and Willits. Whole Foods, restaurants, TACAW and everyday amenities are just minutes away, with convenient access to the Rio Grande Trail. It is a rare combination: sweeping south-facing views, generous natural light, flexible spaces and an exceptionally convenient mid-valley location. Buyers interested in expansion or an additional dwelling unit can explore feasibility and required approvals through their due diligence; the listing agent has information available upon request.
