The House

Walk the rooms. One frame at a time.

Architectural front elevation of 81 Cheyenne Avenue, with twin gables, copper-toned standing-seam roof entry, cedar-shake skirt, and stucco upper story under cottonwood canopy — I.
The arrival. Twin gables, a copper-tone metal roof over the entry, cedar shakes anchoring the wing. The driveway opens to the oversized multi-car garage.

Vaulted great room with floor-to-ceiling river-stone fireplace, wood floors, sectional seating, and large picture window to the side garden — II.
The great room, vaulted to the ridge. A full-height river-stone hearth carries the room. Wood floors, west-facing glass, and a wood stove insert built for long Colorado winters.

Dining room with long wood table, six upholstered chairs, sliding glass doors opening to the back deck, hardwood floors continuing throughout — III.
Dining opens to the back deck through full-width sliders. The kitchen circulation feeds it from the right, the entry from the front. Built to host eight without rearranging the room.

Secondary bedroom with twin beds, crown molding, twin framed windows draped in dark navy, neutral carpet and warm cream walls — IV.
One of five bedrooms. Crown molding, soft carpet, twin windows over the front of the property. The kind of guest room that earns its rent in ski-season weekends.

Back exterior of the home with two-story stucco facade, second-floor deck off the primary suite, spiral staircase to ground, and a generous fenced lawn bordered by mature cottonwoods — V.
The back lawn, fenced and full sun. A spiral stair connects the upper deck to the grass. The cottonwoods on the lot line do most of the privacy work, year-round.

Some houses ask you to leave the valley to find them. This one is already at the center of it.

The Residence

A house built for two seasons of guests and one season of staying in.

El Jebel sits halfway between Aspen and Glenwood Springs, on the Colorado River side of the Roaring Fork Valley. The supermarket is two minutes away. The river is three. Highway 82 connects you to ski lifts in twenty-five minutes and to a hot-spring soak in twenty more.

The house was built in 1979 and updated since with the kind of additions that change how a property lives: radiant heat under the floors, a secondary kitchenette for the lower level, two en-suite retreats so adults and adult-children both have somewhere to disappear to, and laundry on both levels because anyone who has hauled a ski-week duffel up a flight of stairs already knows why.

Five bedrooms means flex. A primary, a second en-suite, three more rooms that have been an office, a nursery, a bunk room, a yoga room, and a long-stay guest suite across a single ownership. The fenced lawn keeps dogs and small children where you want them. The mature cottonwoods on the boundary do the rest.

Climate

Radiant Floors

In-floor radiant warmth runs through the principal living spaces. Even heat, no forced air, no cold tile in February.

The Lower Level

Second Kitchenette

A self-contained prep galley downstairs. Coffee at dawn without crossing the main house. Long stays without crossing paths.

Privacy

Two En-Suites

A primary retreat plus a second en-suite means hosting without the bathroom shuffle. Multigenerational stays land easily.

The Garage

Oversized, Multi-Car

Room for the SUV, the Subaru, the truck, the bikes, the kayaks, and the four pairs of skis. The valley demands gear; the garage absorbs it.

The Particulars

Seven decisions that shape how this house lives.

Radiant Floor Heat

In-floor radiant systems run through the principal living areas. The difference is quiet but constant: warm floors in snow socks, no rumble from a furnace, no forced air on the back of your neck.

II.

Two En-Suite Retreats

Beyond the primary, a second bedroom carries its own bathroom. Long-term guests have a self-contained suite. Aging parents have their own corner. Adult children come home without negotiating a shared sink.

III.

Secondary Kitchenette

A second prep space, with its own counters and sink, on the lower level. Caretaker quarters, in-law unit, summer-rental flexibility: the floor plan supports the option without committing to it.

IV.

Five Spacious Bedrooms

Five rooms that can be anything. A primary, a second en-suite, three flex rooms for office, guest, gear-room, art studio. The plan accommodates families that grow and seasons that change.

Oversized Multi-Car Garage

Real valley garage square footage. Two cars and gear, or three cars and a workbench. Skis stay racked. Mountain bikes hang. The mudroom does the rest.

VI.

Laundry On Both Levels

A second laundry on the lower floor closes the loop between the lower-level kitchenette and the guest rooms. Ski-week towels never travel further than ten feet.

VII.

Fenced Back Lawn

Privacy without a gate. The fence and the cottonwoods on the property line work together. Children stay where you want them. Dogs do too. The neighbors are present but never visible.

The Valley

El Jebel, halfway between the lifts and the springs.

The Roaring Fork Valley runs from Aspen north-west to the Colorado River. El Jebel sits in the middle, in Eagle County, on the Crown Mountain side. Mid-valley grocery, mid-valley schools, mid-valley everyday. The skiing and the springs sit at either end like bookends.

Aspen

25 minutes east

Highway 82 carries you straight to the Aspen Mountain gondola. Four ski mountains within an hour.

Glenwood Springs

25 minutes west

The hot springs, the Iron Mountain tramway, the Amtrak depot to Denver. Practical infrastructure on the other side.

Carbondale

10 minutes west

Mountain Fair country. Galleries, gear shops, Mount Sopris on the horizon. The valley's cultural anchor.

Mid-Valley Marketplace

5 minutes

Grocery, post office, hardware, the everyday loop. The convenience that makes a mountain address work as a real address.
