This is a rare opportunity to move into a new, sustainably built home in one of Salida’s most desirable neighborhoods! Fully electric and solar ready, with a fenced yard and detached garage, this 2 BR, 2 BA home has everything you need for low maintenance mountain living. The great room is filled with light from the clerestory windows, and its white oak engineered hardwood floors and fresh modern palette add to the warm and contemporary feel. The front bedroom and covered front porch face a park and community garden, highlighting the community-centered character that is so unique to Crestone Mesa. In the kitchen you will find stainless steel GE Profile appliances with an induction electric stove and beautiful Quartz counters. The space is enhanced with exposed wood beams and accent lighting as well as chic hammered metal pendant lights. The primary suite is in the rear of the home, with views into the fenced backyard and the Collegiate Peaks to the west; it includes an en suite bath with walk-in shower and soothing natural tile colors. An additional full hall bath is just off the main living area and includes plenty of storage. Next to it, a bonus office nook or entertainment corner adds flexibility to the living area and can easily be converted to a 3rd bedroom. The living area is surprisingly spacious and centers around a cozy electric fireplace. The compact size of this home ensures excellent energy efficiency and extremely low maintenance living, yet its large tiled mud room, oversized 1 car garage, and extra alley-access parking spot will easily accommodate extra gear and a van, trailer or other toys. Your quiet and comfort is further enhanced with efficient spray foam insulation, mini split heat pumps with ERV system air exchange, supplemental bathroom heaters, and an EV charging port. Located on the west side of Crestone Mesa with captivating mountain views, this home is one of the last to be built in one of the best neighborhoods in town!
