Although we are in ski season, it's not too early to dream about the promise of spring with golf, hiking and biking not far away. The lovely four-bedroom, four-and-a-half bath home at 49 Rounds Road is the perfect spot for settling in to all manner of mountain adventures. Offered at $1,850,000, the home sits on a lovely acre lot at The Highlands at Breckenridge, just on the edge of town. The Breckenridge Golf Course is nearby and the home has stellar views of the ski area from the whole west-facing side of the home.
Set well back from the road, the home is accessed through a covered entry with solid beam detail. The stone floor sets the stage for some of the amazing finishes in the house. River Rock adorns walls around the entry, along with a lighted niche for art. Just behind this wall, the great room features a wall of windows looking through the trees at the Ten Mile Range. Floors are wood, and the space is warmed by a massive river rock fireplace column with raised hearth. Doors out lead to the west-facing multi-level deck.
To the left is a formal dining room, again enjoying the same views. Stone arches and peeled beams on the lower wall area accentuate the rustic detail, along with built in cabinets for serving.
The adjoining kitchen features a mixture of dark and light cabinetry, with a stone arch setting off the brick red Viking Professional range with four burners and a griddle. Other appliances include a warming drawer, additional wall oven, dishwasher, and GE Monogram refrigerator. There is a walk in pantry, a breakfast area, and access to the wrap around deck- just perfect for year-round barbeques.
Nearby, a built in desk adds convenience. An ornate arched door opens to reveal stone steps down to the wine cellar. Additionally, there is a powder room with stone vessel sink.
To the other side of the foyer, there is a small library area. Just beyond, the master suite features a slate-faced fireplace, as well as an adjoining office/workout room. The master bath has double vessel sinks, a jetted spa tub, built in vanity, and steam shower, all trimmed in travertine with lovely tile detail. Audrey Hepburn said, “Some people dream of having a big swimming pool — with me, it's closets,” and I agree with her. The master closets are beautifully appointed.
Stairs down open into the carpeted family room with another fireplace to ward off the chill. A big screen television and a wet bar with refrigerator, dishwasher and sink, are the stars here. Two bedroom suites are on this level, with excellent separation for privacy.
Stairs up lead to a spacious loft with a pool table and space for a work area or an alcove for additional sleeping. There is closet space, as well as a bath.
Throughout the home, details like the peeled log staircase posts, natural stone, and superb woodwork add mountain dimension. Coupled with a lovely setting and good privacy, this home is ready to take you through all four seasons of mountain living.
