This completely renovated, 5,000+ sq. ft. luxury home is perfect for couples seeking the ultimate Aspen experience, families with children, or multiple families enjoying a vacation together. The magnificent, 1000 sq. ft. master bedroom upper-level suite, with stunning views, is the ultimate in luxury and privacy. The master level is complemented by five bedrooms on two additional levels, providing unique privacy and independence for different family members, or guests.
A fresh, modern décor by Aspen interior designer Joe McGuire transforms the home into a sought-after refuge for those seeking privacy and proximity to all the major attractions of Aspen and Snowmass. Located at the end of a cul-de-sac in the quiet, residential neighborhood of Black Birch Estates, 55 Overlook is perfectly located for anything you may want to explore during your stay in Aspen.
Where to ski today? From your breakfast table, look outside for the conditions on Aspen Highlands and Aspen Mountain (Ajax)--each 8 minutes away—or try Buttermilk, or Snowmass, 15 minutes away. For those seeking the convenience of public transportation, regular, complementary buses to Aspen and Snowmass are a nine-minute walk, the same walk that gets you to the Rio Grande Trail for cross country skiing along the Roaring Fork River.
In summer, the Rio Grande Trail connects you to Aspen’s extensive bike path system with a straight shot to Woody Creek Tavern for lunch, or pack your picnic for a pleasant walk or ride to town for the Aspen Music Festival, the Aspen Ideas Festival or any number of world-class activities in the Aspen area. The Roaring Fork river, at the bottom of the street, is home to some of the best white-water rafting expeditions, and fly fishing in Colorado.
After your day of recreation, you can return to all the comforts of home. High-speed Wi Fi throughout, high-end audio solutions, a dedicated media playroom with the latest, 75-inch, 3D TV and video game system, wet bar, and fireplace. Or, you can relax in the seven-person hot tub secluded just off the main dining room deck and observe the snow cats preparing your slopes for the next day or how much brighter the stars are during summer in Aspen. The mud room entrance from the two-car garage includes laundry facilities and ample room for dropping sports gear and getting ready for the next day. A well-equipped demonstration kitchen with stainless steel countertops, six-burner gas DCS professional range, small appliances, carbon steel knives, and superautomatic Jura espresso machine neither limits what can be prepared at home, nor prevents you from taking advantage of easy access to Aspen’s many fine dining establishments.
The versatile organization of the sleeping areas allows for extended family retreats, gatherings of friends, or two families sharing. The main level of the house includes three bedrooms (one queen, one king, and one split king that can be made as two twins upon request), a full bath, and a powder room. The lower level has two bedrooms, including a self-contained, second master bedroom with a split king bed, en-suite bathroom, and walk-in-closet. The second, lower-level bedroom has two queen beds and a dedicated full bathroom across the hall. The wet bar on the lower level includes a Nespresso coffee maker, toaster, and small refrigerator to allow separate breakfast preparation for lower-level guests. The upper level is a private, self-contained master suite, with an office/sitting room, a large bedroom with king bed, fireplace and view of Aspen and Highlands mountains, two walk-in-closets, an exercise room overlooking Red Mountain and a very large master bathroom with sunken Jacuzzi tub and separate double shower.
While you have all the comforts of home, you have no worries, because our excellent, locally-based property management service is on call should there be any unforeseen problems. They are also available to help arrange additional services you may desire during your stay, such as airport pickups, babysitting, or personal chef.
Please note that the grand piano can be made available for use with a rider to your contract.
55 Overlook has ample natural light because it is up a hill. We therefore recommend four-wheel drive in winter.
