Imagine residing in your dream mountain home nestled amongst trees alongside the Big Wood River in the enclave of Chocolate Gulch, just six minutes north of Ketchum. And now, picture this abode providing all the modern furnishings, amenities and aesthetics to make your mountain experience perfect. Aspen Glen - so named for the aspen grove between the house and the river - is just the place to make your dream come true. The house's Scandinavian Modern design, contemporary furnishings and industrial gourmet kitchen allow for entertaining in style. Large windows, exposed fir beams and an open floor plan allow for Sun Valley's sunshine to illuminate the home's interiors year-round. Wondrous views of the river and adjacent mountains are a prominent feature of the main living spaces and master bedroom suite. Create memorable meals in the large, open kitchen equipped with new Wolf M Series convection/steam oven, full size convection oven, warming drawer, and Wolf Covey dishwasher (all installed after the photo shoot); a Wolf industrial cooktop and two Subzero refrigerators. A large stainless-steel island provides ample workspace. An under-counter wine refrigerator keeps your special wines close at hand. The multitude of cabinets house a full complement of quality cookware, small appliances, bakeware and serving dishes. The dining table comfortably seats eight. Just behind the kitchen, a desk workspace is conveniently positioned for keeping track of household and family activities. On warmer days, move the party outside. The kitchen island, complete with a DCS gas grill, cooktop, warming drawer and garbage bin, makes summer dinner parties a breeze. The main terrace accommodates a large dining table. In the living room, the extra-large sectional sofa and swivel club chairs provide seating for several people to watch movies on the 4K (high definition) flat screen television. A wood burning fireplace affords the perfect ambiance for warming bodies and souls on cold, wintry nights. Perched atop the living room, the master suite offers a bird's eye view of Aspen Glen's natural outdoor spaces. A large desk oriented towards the expansive windows serves as the ideal space to put in a full day's work or correspond with family and friends. Adjacent to the gas fireplace, relax with a good book in the chaise lounge. The bathroom consists of his & her sinks, a soaking tub with a view, rain shower and radiant floor heat. Retire to a California king size bed. Electric blackout shades block the morning sun. Storage bins and baskets are provided for the walk-in closet's shelving system to keep the space well organized. A spiral staircase leads to a very private lower bedroom suite. The living space has a kitchenette with a microwave oven, small walk-in closet, 7-foot desk, bunk bed (twin on top, double on bottom), and large sofa for viewing the 4K television. Enjoy a steam shower in the ensuite bathroom. The entire space is kept warm via radiant floor heat. The suite provides access to a terrace surrounded by flower beds and a view of the aspen grove and mountains. Three bedrooms (two of these rooms are more conducive as guest rooms because of their small size) span the long entry hallway. All rooms have ensuite bathrooms with showers and radiant floor heat, 4K (high definition) televisions, and French doors that open to a lovely woodland courtyard. The largest room contains a California king size bed, the middle room has a double size bed, and the room closest to the living room has a queen size bed. The entry foyer, mud room and garage are all heated via radiant floor heat. The garage can accommodate 2 full-size vehicles. The floor has a drain in its center for snowmelt from cars, making winter clean-up easier. Projects can be accomplished on the workbench. An additional large closet in the garage, as well as storage closets in the mudroom, provide spaces to store outerwear and outdoor sports gear. Specialty hooks in the garage hold skis and poles. Adjacent to the kitchen, the laundry room contains a large capacity washer and dryer. At the end of a day of outdoor activities, nothing feels better than relieving tired muscles in the hot tub. It is strategically positioned to take advantage of the views while offering privacy from the neighbors. The house is outfitted with a state-of-the-art entertainment system. Sonos provides sound and all televisions are 4K (high definition) for optimum viewing pleasure. Wi-Fi works well throughout the house, as well as at the river. Fiber optic provides high speed internet service. A Nest system is installed for climate control. The house's security system may be utilized in addition to the use of a small safe for personal items. The property draws its water from a well. The water quality and flavor are so high that there is no need to use a filtration system or buy bottled water! Should you decide to venture down to the river, feel free to warm your toes by starting a fire in the screened fire pit. Logs to sit on, as well as fuel for the fire, are provided. From late spring into early fall, lounge chairs and a dining table offer another outdoor entertainment space. Snow can be managed using the snow blower and shovels stored in the garage.
