Incredible location on the edge of Old Town Steamboat, with a rare combination of views and privacy. Resting perfectly above the valley floor, this 5 bedroom, 4,300+ SF home is oriented to capture unobstructed views all the way from Mt Werner to Emerald Mtn, with amazing sights of the downtown city lights, Howelsen Hill fireworks, and the Yampa River corridor. The expansive property is adjacent on two sides to two acres of city park land (AKA Iron Springs Park), buffering the property nicely upon the hill. Two additional parks, Elk Park and Little Toots Park, join the Yampa River Core Trail just across the street. Nearly 100 fun/interesting restaurants, galleries and shops are literally within walking or riding distance, and the city bus stop is just below by Steamboat’s modern community library. In the winter months, the home captures beautiful, all day passive solar sunshine across an open layout and vaulted ceilings, allowing in abundant natural light. Several upgrades include scraped hickory floors, functional kitchen island, granite countertops and a wood burning fireplace. The private primary bedroom has an expansive ensuite bathroom and large closets, as well as adjacent multipurpose space for an office, exercise, or hobbies. Enjoy incredible valley views from the sizable deck, plus tons of storage throughout, including in the expansive 2 car garage. Historically, 1245 Crawford was reportedly once a library, a bed and breakfast and a host site to some of the original Steamboat Winter Carnivals.
