Vail, Colorado has no shortage of notable landmarks. There’s the mountain itself with world-class skiing and snowboarding, the European-style pedestrian village, and Gore Creek, which runs through the heart of the resort itself.
But for locals and visitors alike, an unusual condo building also fits the bill: the iconic domed house. The three-unit residence began life in the mid-1980s, no doubt drawing inspiration from the earlier work of architect R. Buckminster Fuller, who found a form that could withstand extreme weather while being energy efficient. energy and resources. These savings aside, it has also proven popular with Vrbo vacationers and offers significant investment appeal.
“This is one of, if not the most exciting properties in Vail,” says Jack Affleck of Slifer Smith & Frampton Real Estate. “People love experiencing its unique atmosphere.”
Currently on the market is the second or mid-level unit of the building. Priced at $1.795 million, the four bedroom condo occupies an entire floor and was completely renovated last year.
“From subfloors to new windows and every other area,” he says. “Essentially, this is a new condo in this gem of a structure.”
Besides the updated interiors, there are smart home features. Lighting, room temperature and the oven can be controlled remotely by phone, Affleck says. “The owner actually told me he could put a roast in the oven, and when he was halfway through his day on the mountain, he could turn on the oven and have dinner ready when he got home. »
Dark blue cabinets and a tiled accent wall add a decorative touch to the stylish kitchen. A peninsula with bar seating and sink separates the workspace from the dining room. A terrace expands the angular living space outside.
Within the 1,575 square feet of living space are four bedrooms and two bathrooms. Two of the bedrooms are equipped with bunk beds.
The views extend over the valley and the forest. Apart from the bathrooms, in the center of the structure, all rooms have windows.
