Today is the start of the National Association of REALTORS Open House Weekend and as you drive around the state, you will see plenty of homes open for the occasion. Our feature today is one of the most spectacular residences in Summit County. The magnificent home at the end of Timber Trail boasts seven bedrooms, including three master suites, eight-and-a-half baths, an elevator, five fireplaces, a ski room, geothermal wine cellar and multi-level theater. Offered at $5,980,000, the home sits on a magnificent site right at the base of Peak 8, bordering National Forest and the Skyway Skiway.
The home sits well back from the street at the very end of a cul-de-sac. The front door opens into an amazing reception area with fauxed walls, an art niche, and a majestic curved mahogany staircase. The first impression is of opulence and comfort, as the home wraps its arms around you. To the right, a ski and snowboard room has a separate exterior door and tiled floors, as well as a beverage cooler for water to go. An elevator provides access to all three levels, while a nearby powder room has marble countertops and a vessel sink.
The Great room features hand-scraped teak floors and soaring ceilings punctuated by beautiful wood trusses and stenciled art. A stone fireplace provides a focal point. The south-facing wall of doors and windows opens onto an expansive deck which drinks in all day sunshine, as well as views of Mount Baldy and the Blue River Valley. The adjoining formal dining room has a built-in serving area with granite counters in charcoal, cream and caramel.
To the right, a full wet bar serves the main living quarters, as well as the adjoining kitchen. The kitchen showcases the marriage of Old World and modern technology with cherry cabinetry and a stone backsplash with metallic tile accents. Appliances include a Wolf six-burner range with griddle, an additional wall oven and microwave, a pair of double-drawer dishwashers, a warming oven and a Sub Zero refrigerator. There is seating at the island which overlooks the farmhouse sink, as well as a breakfast area with round table. The stone fireplace has a pass-through from the dining room with another gathering area here which is open to the kitchen.
Additionally on this level, is the first of three master suites, each of which has a fireplace and GE Monogram beverage center, as well as convenience snack area. The adjoining bath has split sinks, jetted tub and separate shower with three different shower heads for your pleasure. Each of the suites has a walk-in closet and laundry hookup. The curved stairway leads up to the additional suites. From this vantage point, one can see the curves, angles and incredible details that are in every fiber of the home.
The second curved stairway leads down first to a tiered theatre with eight leather recliners, a projection screen and seven-point surround sound. The labyrinth of stone corridors reveals the remaining bedrooms. Two are junior suites, while two are bunkrooms with three sets of bunks in each.
The center of this level is another gathering room and a second pass-through fireplace. The full bar enjoys granite countertops, and GE Café series appliances. The wrought iron gate to the left of the bar opens into the wine cellar with lighted display grottos and mahogany and metal racking system. On the other side of the fireplace is the billiards room with stone beverage shelf and slate wall art. Additionally, there is a workout area with stamped concrete floor, business center and laundry on this level. Doors lead out to the ski runs, as well as to an area pre-wired for a spa and fire pit.
Throughout the residence, the timeless feel of the décor and the careful attention to detail assure that the home has a European flavor yet a modern vibe that will never be dated. As an owner in the Timber Trail neighborhood, you and your guests enjoy the amenities at the new One Ski Hill Place complex at the Peak 8 base area which include a bowling alley, movie theaters, billiard room, piano bar, aquatic center, shuttle buses and restaurants. With a once in a lifetime residence that marries the ideal location with the perfect mountain and amenities, this beautiful home is waiting for you and your family and friends to create your own Rocky mountain memories.
