Anchored among the aspens and pines of Windcliff, one of Estes Park's sought-after neighborhoods, this mountain home delivers Continental Divide views that stop you in your tracks. The octagonal great room is the heart of it all: a wall of floor-to-ceiling windows frames the peaks of Rocky Mountain National Park beneath a stunning tongue-and-groove wood ceiling, while a stacked stone gas fireplace makes it just as cozy on a snowy evening as it is bright on a bluebird day. The adjoining dining area is wrapped in windows and treetop views and flows easily to the kitchen, complete with granite counters, oak cabinetry, stainless appliances, and a one-of-a-kind tile backsplash. The primary suite is a true retreat, featuring a tongue-and-groove wood ceiling, sliding doors to the main level deck, and French doors opening to the sunlit living room. On the lower level, a flexible floor plan affords a bright office with soaring ceilings, additional bedrooms and a full bath. The basement level is made for gathering, with a spacious room ready for your vision: a game room with plenty of space for pool, foosball, and whatever else your crew loves or a media room, ready for movies and games. Outdoor living is everywhere you turn. Generous decks with low-maintenance composite decking and iron railings wrap the home, and the covered front entry features a built-in gas fire pit for evenings under the stars. Zoned EV E-1S, the subdivision and HOA allow short-term rentals with a permit, offering great flexibility for your use, yet its thoughtful layout makes it equally ideal as a full-time residence or a second home you'll look forward to every season. Easy access from downtown Estes Park and the gates of Rocky Mountain National Park, this is one you have to see for yourself!
