Sanctuary Living
Conveniently located between The Mountain and Old Town in a setting that emphasizes privacy, the design of this home combines the ruggedness and durability of heavy timber with rich, refined finishes, resulting in a casually elegant beauty that is warm and welcoming. It invites family fun as readily as formal entertaining.
Connected
Creekside is all about “connectedness” – to the environment, to its neighborhood, and to its occupants. The home gracefully arches along a bend in Fish Creek, whose tranquil waters and surrounding forest create a surprisingly private wilderness setting in close proximity to The Rollingstone Golf Course, to which it holds a membership. Extensive gardens and ponds both outside and inside expand on the theme of integrating natural elements into the living space. A creekside trail leads directly onto groomed cross-country ski trails and beyond into the thousands of acres of Routt National Forest, including nearby Fish Creek Falls. A fly-fishing extravaganza lies within casting distance of the back door.
Quality Construction
The post-and-beam superstructure forsakes the use of modern steel fasteners and utilizes the ages-old craft of mortise-and-tenon joinery. This home has a wealth of personality, with many different moods and several distinct living areas. The double “hammer-beam” trusses that soar high above the Great Room create a vast open space that is regal, yet cozy, warmed as much by the richly-finished, hewn timber as by the massive stone fireplace and walnut flooring – a magnificent setting for festive occasions. The Country Kitchen, with its generous counter space, gourmet appliances, and fine-crafted, cherry cabinetry is a joy in which to cook. The Breakfast Nook, overlooking the Creek and carefully-manicured yard and gardens, is an inspiring spot from which to start any day. The Family Room, which opens to the Breakfast Nook and Kitchen, boasts its own fireplace and a unique, hemispherical window that reminds us of “Captain Nemo’s Drawing Room”. The cook will never feel isolated from family and friends. The Patio is a perfect setting for outdoor dining. And when the weather is cool, and the Patio shrouded in winter dress, a fire in either the Family Room or Great Room fireplaces offers an enchanting atmosphere for relaxing and entertaining.
