Bordering the National Forest in sunny West Vail, Alpine View is a three bedroom, three and a half bath European-style home, custom built in 1980 with Old World craftsmanship. The great room has a cathedral ceiling and large expanses of glass for viewing the spectacular scenery. It includes a gas fireplace and comfortable seating for reading, napping and watching movies on the cable TV or DVD/VCR.
Off the great room is a cozy octagonal room with glass walls and ceiling that offers fantastic views of the Gore Range and the south side of the Vail Valley. Sliding doors open to extensive outdoor space that includes a veranda with a gas grill and a gazebo, along with a fire pit that seats eight to ten people. These are perfect places for sipping a favorite beverage and enjoying the dramatic views that surround this idyllic site.
The home has a dining room that seats six, the octagonal room that seats five and a breakfast bar that seats three. A wet bar is well-placed for entertaining.
The fully equipped kitchen includes both gas and electric stoves, oven, microwave, trash compactor and dishwasher.
A PC computer with broadband service, wireless, FAX, scanner and printer are downstairs in a private office, next to the laundry room with washer/dryer.
The master bedroom has a queen bed, a gas fireplace, TV and a large en-suite bath that also includes an indoor hot tub to enjoy after a long day of skiing. (In the summer, the hot tub is drained to keep the house from becoming too hot.) On the same level is a second bedroom with a queen bed and TV that opens onto a sitting room with a beautiful view, charming waterfall and sauna. The bath has a tub/shower combination.
A third floor suite includes a third bedroom with a queen bed and TV that opens onto a patio next to the National Forest meadow where the elk and other wildlife come in the winter. The bath has a tub/shower combination. This bedroom is next to a loft sitting room with a queen sleep sofa.
Attached garages have room for two cars. This fabulous mountain escape is three full blocks to the bus stop on Chamonix Lane and a long block walking on the trail through the meadow or skiing down it in the winter.
