Exceptional newly constructed Southwest Style Home. This two-story, new construction, ~1,750 square foot home is exceptional in every way.

It's located near town for those quick trips that can save both gas and time. It's set off the road for both privacy and quiet. The hardtop road offers further noise reduction as well as less dust in the summer and the half-acre lot has been professionally fire mitigated.

The house was constructed in 2007 by a Crestone resident who understood the spiraling costs of living in Crestone in the winter. Thus, all water pipes are insulated, the floors have radiant floor heat, walls and ceilings are rated at R50 and R40. In addition there is a wood burning stove in the upstairs and most effective of all - passive solar gain from the windows. All windows are double-pane with appropriate sizes based on views and energy impact. Summers are kept comfortable with ceiling fans throughout the house.

This home has a diverse floor plan that offers extended family living or guest quarters. Upstairs is a comfortable 1 bedroom, 1 bath with remarkable views from every window. The open floor plan of the kitchen, dining and living room is spacious and diverse. The kitchen has remarkable views of both the mountains and valley. Upgraded window shades that allow for the view while controlling the passive solar gain are highly effective and beautiful.

Downstairs is designed as an "in-law" unit with private entrance, plenty of storage, 2 bedroom, 1 bath and kitchenette. The washer/dryer/storage room located on the ground floor is accessed by both up and downstairs, with the layout retaining the integrity of privacy of both. The downstairs sports rustic faux finished cement floors have radiant floor heat and are easy to keep clean.
