Finding a Charming Second Home in Downtown Crested Butte

September 10, 2012 By Chris Kopf

If you are considering a Vacation Home in Colorado, Crested Butte is a great choice.  Dubbed the last great ski town it has mining roots, awesome skiing, wonderful summers, and a Historic Downtown.  If you are thinking about Downtown Crested Butte for your Second Home – and still unsure where to be in downtown, there are many choices in location.  Even thought downtown Crested Butte is small, and price per square foot is a bit higher than some other areas in Crested Butte, there are many distinct areas where you could buy a great single family home.  The main business district area (near Elk Avenue and West of 6th Street) has many options and you will be a very short walk to the restaurants and shops which is nice.  Many of these homes are older , and have been remodeled (some were originally built in the late 1800’s at the Irwin townsite – and moved to downtown).  Sometimes the noise at night or parking in front of your home can be a challenge, but this is not New York City, and the convenience is desirable.  There are some nice homes on the Northwest corner of town, and in 2011 a flurry of high-end homes sold in the coveted Kapushion subdivision.  Many like this area because of the beautiful views up Paradise Divide, the larger lots and homes, and access to Peanut Lake Road, the Lower loop, and Nordic skiing in the winter.  I have taken clients to view homes on this side of town and some did not care for the block of mobile homes located in this area.  The residents of these mobile homes are some of Crested Butte’s finest  – business owners, police officers, volunteer firemen, town council members… but for some the visual clutter is the issue.
The East side of town on the other side of 6th Street and the park is a very nice & sunny section of town.  There are some newer homes in the Verzuh Ranch subdivision, and in general these homes sit on larger lots and have nice views of the open space and of Mt. Crested Butte.  This area is desirable because you are far removed from the noise of the business district and do not have to drive through town to access your home. There is the town park by the Center for the Arts, Rainbow park and a couple of pocket parks close by – as well easy access to Tony’s Trail and Nordic Skiing in the winter.
Sopris Front Yard830 Sopris Avenue, Crested Butte.  Take a short walk or ride on your new Townie Bikes to get a cup of coffee, go to a restaurant, run an errand, or meet friends in town. This luxury home built by renowned local builder Bob Godwin sits on a corner lot in the Verzuh Ranch subdivision – on the quiet and sunny side of historic downtown Crested Butte. Hiking, biking and Nordic trails that meander through our valley are right out your back door. Catch the free Mountain Express bus to your locker at the base area and enjoy hassle-free skiing logistics for your whole crew.  An open floor plan provides the space to entertain family and friends with overflow onto the decks and porches offering stunning panorama views of Mt. Crested Butte and the surrounding peaks. Enjoy easy food prep in this spacious gourmet kitchen with high-end appliances, and granite countertops. Luxury and comfort include the warmth of in-floor heat on your stocking feet, a relaxing steam shower, and a soak in the jetted tub after a day of mountain adventure. A picket fence with irrigated and beautifully landscaped yard surrounds this home and large two car detached in-floor heated garage with pull-down stairs for storage access. A long list of details, finishes, and extras in this custom home will be provided to the discerning buyer.  Offered at $1,275,000.  To visit this listing in the Crested Butte MLS click HERE.

Chris is outstanding! We recently bought a second home in Crested Butte and Chris did a great job throughout the whole process. He has a thorough understanding of the market and the benefits and drawbacks of various locations. He was very patient with us as our preferences evolved throughout the search. He gave us valuable information on which to negotiate the purchase. He had great follow-up during the inspection/closing process (when we were not in town) and made sure all of the commitments made by the seller were properly completed.
