272 Terrace Drive, Snowmass Village, CO 81615

Property Description

Ideal property for a young family or for use by a future developer-owner while a new home is designed for the site. This is one of Snowmass' most iconic homes built in the early days of the resort's development and nicely maintained since. Designed by noted Chicago architect, Harry Weese, who visited Aspen often in the 70's and 80's and who drew up plans for the original Given Institute, this property has only had two owners during its history, the first of whom commissioned the work. A tiny, but mighty charming house, this home has been remodeled several times during its history and is fresh in its decor. Roof has been replaced, although date uncertain. Significant architectural features include vaulted ceilings throughout the upper level and the triangular, floor-to-ceiling windows at either end of the home - in the living room and primary suite - which bring in beautiful light and forested views. There are also several circle windows or exterior ''cut-outs'' which distinguish the property from others of its era. The great room features a large woodburning fireplace and LVL flooring. An upgraded kitchen is highlighted by stainless appliances and terra cotta floors. Sleek, contemporary white baths. Filled with furniture designed and made by current owner, much of which couldl possibly be included in the sale. Decks are everywhere - one off the living room, two accessed from dining area, one at the primary bedroom which features a hot tub, and one at each guest bedroom. Beautiful views toward Aspen and the Continental Divide. Nestled in mature aspen trees and quietly set back from the street with a large front yard. The house feels like an early model for today's increasingly popular small home. Allowable FAR for the lot is 2813 sq ft + an exempt 2-car (700 sq ft) or 3-car (900 sq ft) garage; another 280 sq ft is allowed via TOSV's floor area excise tax. Closing to be mid-April 2025.
