There are homes in Breckenridge, and then there are homes that ARE Breckenridge, the ones people slow down to admire on their walk to town. 226 S. Ridge Street is one of those homes. Custom built and finished in 2014 and meticulously maintained, this home sits in the heart of town with views of the Ten Mile Range, a fully fenced and beautifully landscaped corner lot, and finishes that are as impressive today as when the home was built. Reclaimed wood beams from Gunnison and Telluride, ski-cable hand railings, mountain chalet-inspired fixtures, and hickory hardwood floors give the home a character and authenticity that simply can't be replicated. The main level is designed for entertaining and outdoor living, featuring an open-concept kitchen, dining, and living room with a stone fireplace all flowing out to a patio with a built-in barbecue and a front porch perfectly positioned to take in the views. On the upper level, the primary suite is a true retreat with a private balcony, dedicated office, and en-suite bath. Two of the three guest bedrooms sit just a half-flight down from the main level, offering comfortable privacy. The lowest level features the third guest bedroom and a large second living area with a dedicated media space and a custom bar, what the owners proudly call 'the best bar in Breck,' perfect for legendary aprs. The location is unmatched: walk to over sixty restaurants, catch the ski bus right out the front door, or head directly out the back door to world-class biking and hiking trails. The house has ample parking with a 2-car oversized garage with over-height doors and two additional driveway spaces. A home of this character and soul doesn't come around often.
