Description
A few blocks off main street in Old Town Steamboat Springs, nestled next to Butcherknife Creek, is an artfully crafted timber-frame home created from 150 year old Rock Elm Timbers. Not only does this home fit into the local landscape that is Ski Town USA; the proximity to Downtown and local trails fits the Steamboat lifestyle as well. Building materials â 120 year old Douglas Fir beams, aged Redwood, Elm, stone, steel and poured concrete. Conveniences - tilt and turn European windows, gourmet kitchen, commercial appliances, radiant in-floor heating. Efficiencies â Clean energy Geothermal heating technology, structural insulated panels, native landscaping and natural irrigation. As a result, the home is smart, private and inviting. The main gathering place might be around the large, hard maple island that is central to the kitchen. Or, the great room which includes large exposed beams that are core to a timber-frame home. These features extend to the bedrooms where each has custom craftsman built-ins making furniture almost obsolete. Outside, the large stained concrete patio looks over Butcherknife creek where native trout can be seen among the riffles. In the garden, the water from the creek was used to create a lovely water feature that runs through the front yard and returns back into creek. Surrounded by native aspen and evergreen trees, this single family home in the heart of Old town in Steamboat Springs is as much an inspiration of nature as it is a reflection of a life well lived in the Rocky Mountains.
