A elegant,European inspired 9000+ square foot Villa in one of the most private areas of Aspen near the Aspen Institute and minutes from Aspen's Core. Situated on over half an acre in a wooded setting,privacy is ensured. A gracious circular snow melt... driveway leads to the beautiful wood double doors which open to a high ceiled entry. The exterior stone flows into the interior through the stone staircase that curves gracefully up the stairs to the main level which encompasses the office,primary bedroom and ensuite,and the main living area. Soaring ceilings of honey colored wood contrast beautifully with white walls and the elegant black columns that support the vaulted,beamed ceiling add a beautiful accent to the honeyed tones. Huge windows accented in the same honey wood give the feeling of being outdoors. The furnishings echo the sophistication of the architecture with warm wood tones,neutrals,and texture. The stone woodburning fireplace carries on the theme. Around the corner is the 'wet' bar with glass cabinets,mini fridge and seating for 4.
