About this home
A rare opportunity in the heart of Basalt—on the market for the first time in nearly 40 years. This enchanting mountain chalet is set on over an acre above Old Town Basalt, just a short stroll to downtown, and offers sweeping views of the Elk Mountains, Mount Sopris, and expansive night skies.
Lovingly cared for and thoughtfully improved by three generations of artists and craftsmen, the home blends timeless character with meaningful updates. The vaulted great room features dramatic exposed beams, brick floors, and wraparound windows that frame the surrounding mountain vistas. Open living and dining areas are anchored by a wood-burning stove, creating a warm and inviting gathering space. The kitchen has been refreshed with new stainless steel appliances and a clean, functional aesthetic that flows seamlessly into the main living areas.
Upstairs, bamboo flooring extends through three bedrooms, including a serene primary suite with mountain views, distinctive Utah-made lantern lighting, and a spa-inspired ensuite bath with heated floors and a rain shower. A second beautifully updated bathroom with soaking tub completes the level. All three bathrooms in the home have been fully remodeled, offering a cohesive and modern feel throughout.
The lower level offers exceptional flexibility, featuring a cozy secondary living area centered around a wood stove, ideal as a den or media lounge. An additional large room houses the oversized laundry area along with abundant storage, making it highly functional for everyday living. This level also benefits from a separate exterior entrance, providing excellent privacy for a lower-level resident or the potential for future rental use. A fourth bedroom and an additional updated bath with walk-in shower complete the space.
Outside, the property continues to impress with evolving gardens that bloom from spring through late summer, a fenced yard with arbors, and a whimsical, historic Quonset hut that is usable year-round—perfect as a studio, office, gym, or creative flex space. A detached three-car garage, a true rarity in Old Town Basalt, includes workshop space and generous storage for all your Colorado lifestyle needs.
Surrounded by forest, wildlife, and close to trails, yet moments from shops, dining, and culture, this private mountain retreat offers exceptional character, history, and flexibility—an irreplaceable Basalt gem....
