The View from Woodmoor

Perhaps you would agree that this is a magical time of year in Summit County. The snow is plentiful, the air is still crisp, but the longer days give more time to enjoy the outdoors, as well as the view. This would be a perfect season to drive up to the east side of town to visit the duplex home on Emmett Load Road in Woodmoor. Offered at $1,100,000, this four bedroom, three and a half bath home enjoys a perch on a ridge above town with a bird's eye view of the mountains.

A slated entry leads directly into the Great room, which is open to the main living floor of the home. Wood floors stretch through the area, giving a warm mountain feel. French doors open out to a large west-facing deck which looks at the magnificent views of the Breckenridge ski area and the Ten Mile Range. This is the perfect spot to enjoy a sunset, stage a barbeque, or enjoy Happy Hour after a day on the slopes. Built in bookshelves and a fireplace with raised stone hearth provide a cozy focal point. A nearby powder room enjoys a slated countertop.

To the right, the dining room enjoys plenty of windows and an open, airy feel, separated only by a handcrafted iron and wood railing. Adjacent to it, the open kitchen features slated floors and natural toned wood cabinetry. Appliances are stainless and include A Maytag refrigerator, GE Profile wall ovens, a GE microwave, GE Profile five burner cooktop and a GE Profile dishwasher. A spacious pantry closet is a handy amenity here. Countertops are done in sand and charcoal granite, providing a neutral palette.

Double doors lead into the master suite which is centered by a corner fireplace. The room features enough space for a sitting or office area. The ensuite master bath has Kohler double sinks and a tiled countertop. A jetted tub, steam shower and walk in closet provide the details.

Wooden stairs up from the main level lead to a small loft area- the perfect spot to escape with a book. The bedroom on this level is another suite, with a fireplace, double sinks and a shower.

Carpeted stairs down from the entry lead into a comfortable family area with room for games or media viewing. The wet bar also has granite countertops in the same warm neutral tones. A GE Monogram wine cooler is here, as well as a wine cellar area.

Nearby, a mudroom area leads into the two car garage. Also on this level, the laundry has a utility sink, as well as a Maytag Neptune series washer and dryer. Two additional bedrooms are on this level, which share a tiled bath with double sinks.

In addition to the view and the open, functional floor plan, the home has great access to hiking and cross country skiing on nearby forest trails. With a private location just a few minutes from town, and room for family and friends, this home is a terrific base for all your four season mountain adventures.
