Rustic Elegance
A floating wood plank staircase, through
the center of the mine shaft, provides
access to the lower and upper levels
of the home. A steel lattice grid surrounded by reclaimed wood planks
creates an open yet safe feeling to the
sides of the stairwell. The lower level
is outfitted with a full-size kitchen that
includes shades of green, blue and
pinkish tones in textured granite, blue
pendant lighting, a large den and a
game room that has a pool table and
foosball table. The large den offers
beautiful views of snow-covered pines
and the family-size outdoor Jacuzzi
(commonly called the “spool” by the
children) is a focal point.

The house easily accommodates three
families with a third master suite on
this lower level. It has a complete
fireplace and beautiful vistas. An
enormous walk-in closet and roomsize stone bath make this master
suite a favorite for visiting families.
In addition, a theater room and kids
bunk room make the downstairs area
a great place for skits and family fun.
During the summer months, family
and friends enjoy easy access from this
lower level to the garden, which is surrounded by shimmering aspen trees
and native perennials. The inside of
the house is expanded through doors
that open onto the welcoming terrace
