825 & 823 Main Street

A Victorian style home built for mountain living. This well designed 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom, 1810 sq. ft. classic, set on 4.59 acres, was built just over 15 years ago. Thoughtfully designed, blending historic details and high-quality building materials. Covered front and back decks are built with AZEK (R) PVC decking. The metal roof, a classic Spanish tile look, by "Style" (R) roofing along with Hardie (R) plank siding provide durability and low maintenance for the high-mountain climate. Milgard (R) fiberglass windows with double cellular window shades enhance energy efficiency. The open-concept living room, dining room, and kitchen are bathed in natural light. The main level also features a spacious primary bedroom with a walk-in closet, double vanity bathroom, and a laundry room. A secondary living room and flex space, as well as two generously sized bedrooms and full bathroom are all upstairs. Desing features include engineered Hickory hardwood floors throughout the main level, solid pine interior doors, and radiant in-floor heat on both levels. The kitchen highlights the combination of historic charm and modern functionality with the Elmira Stove Works electric 6-burner glass-top and stove. An over 5-foot-deep lined crawlspace, is a real plus, offering ample storage and easy access for maintenance. The nearly 5-acre property includes a walking trail through wooded and sagebrush areas, providing opportunities to view wildlife and enjoy the stunning views of Pitkin and the Quartz Creek Valley. The backyard also features a fire pit, perfect for starlit gatherings with friends and family. In addition to this stunning home, there is an historic old miner's cabin (restored in 2010, adding electricity). It even has the original outhouse from the Pitkin Community Church. There is a 4-car garage on an adjacent parcel (823 Main St.) included in the listing. The loft above the garage is home to a "mini-museum" filled with many artifacts found on the property over the years. The collection provides a snapshot of the history of the Pitkin area. The town of Pitkin is located in the heart of Gunnison National Forest and provides access for year-round activities, including hiking, biking, fishing, hunting (GMUs 55 & 551), ATV-ing, snowmobiling, and 2 ski resorts about an hour away. This "turnkey" opportunity includes most all of the furniture and contents. The obvious pride of ownership make this a "home to see".
