The kitchen is a masterpiece with rich hickory hardwood floors and Brazilian Black Magma slab granite on the countertops, the island and sideboard. The versatile island is ingenious as it is on wheels and can easily be moved to open up the kitchen and to provide additional space for buffet-style meals. All the LG appliances were new in 2019 including a 5-burner cook top, built-in microwave, dishwasher, refrigerator/freezer. Many of the alder cabinets, which were stained a cherry color, have pull out drawers to reach pots and pans with ease. The two sinks are perfectly positioned under the corner windows which overlook the back lawn and there's a custom pantry with cherry shelving for all your food and small appliance needs.

Open to the kitchen is a sitting area/den so the cook can keep an eye on the kids or be part of the party. Plenty of built-in shelves for books or heirloom treasures as well as built-in cabinets with pull out drawers for toys/games all surround the river rock gas fireplace. French doors with adjustable inset blinds lead to the custom designed Trex deck and yard area making summertime BBQ's or morning coffee a breeze.

The dining room is efficiently accessed from the kitchen and has a wall of windows bringing in the backyard and garden views as well as plenty of room for a sizeable dining table and china hutch. The dining room flows into the living room with its soaring ceilings and 5-inch custom baseboard trim and which serves as a gathering spot around the Vermont and Carrera marble gas-log fireplace.

Those working from home will appreciate the sizeable main level office which enjoys views toward the front lawn and gardens.

The handsome walnut front door is flanked with leaded sidelights and warmly greets friends and guests. There's ample room for winter coats in the two entry closets off the foyer. The crawl space outfitted with shelving and an easy to access water shutoff valve is home to the 2013 installed radon mitigation system.

The exquisite main level powder room is adorned with special wallpaper, hickory flooring and cherry cabinetry topped with a granite vanity.

And doing laundry is a pleasure in the room decorated with maple cabinetry, granite countertops, slate floors, a full size Maytag washer/dryer stack as well as cubbies, shelves and storage nooks.

The oversized 3-car garage has hanging steel storage shelves, new high horsepower garage door motors for heavy lifting of the custom designed "barn door" garage doors, a utility sink making clean up a snap, a separate area for storage next to the enclosed mechanical room which houses the forced air updraft furnace and hot water heater.

This energy efficient home, situated on a 1+ acre lot, has 22 photovoltaic solar panels (new in 2019) yielding roughly a $9/month electric bill for grid connectivity. The all new triple-pane Andersen windows feature "TRU" screens, which are made out of aluminum and don't detract from the views.

Also included is a Water-Wise water treatment system which de-mineralizes the water to prevent "hard" water. A once/year service visit from Aspen Water Wise keeps the system running more efficiently than a traditional water softener.

The gardens, lawns and landscaping are serviced by a seven-zone sprinkler system. There's a set of wooden stairs that meander through the terraced gardens and leading to an upper lawn to take in the glorious sunsets.

The home's location mid-way between Basalt and Carbondale is quite convenient to restaurants, parks shopping and movie theaters; it's just five minutes to Willits the hub of Whole Foods and City Market. And there's quick access to a bike path through Blue Lake to El Jebel.
