About this property

The Original Ice House- History at its Finest only

Summary:

The Original Ice House- History at its Finest only 1 Block to Elk Avenue!



The Space:

This 1860's rustic log cabin (Crested Butte's original Ice House) is set among huge cottonwood trees with Coal Creek running right past the deck. The home boasts all the modern conveniences and the sunken floors are heated by radiant in-floor heat that warms the entire house. There are four bedrooms, each unique, 2 baths, three TV's, and a lounge that sits away from the main living area that is perfect for the kids or an office.



Walking distance from Elk Avenue (one block) and all the restaurants and activities in town. One and a half blocks to the free ski shuttle- you and your family can ride free and be dropped next to the lifts and back home in no time! The adobe wood burning fireplace is the center of attraction in the living/game room area. Nowhere can you experience the atmosphere of historic Crested Butte in such a warm and comfortable atmosphere.
