Perched right on the slopes of Aspen Highlands, this chic chalet has classic sophistication. "Exquisite architecture, wide-plank white oak floors, custom ironwork and chandeliers, and warm wooden beam work all come together," said Laurie Laing of Aspen Snowmass Sotheby’s International Realty. "There are very few single-family homes that are slopeside, ski-in/ski-out, which makes this property really stand out."
"The home offers phenomenal indoor-outdoor entertaining," Ms. Laing said, explaining that coordinated doors off the kitchen connect the great room, dining room and library, which all open out onto an expansive terrace, nearly doubling the home’s entertaining space, all on one level. Each room of the home, as well as its numerous stone terraces, offer stunning, long valley views, views of Willow Peak and the Maroon Bells, and the village below.
Although it is a large home, the rooms are very warm and intimate, Ms. Laing said.

"This really is a turnkey ski home," she said, adding that its location just 100 yards from the slopes also offers unsurpassed accessibility to summer activities like mountain biking and hiking the Highland Bowl. "It’s a perfect year-round home for someone who loves to be outside," she said.
