This picture was taken on the slopes of Breckenridge- Doesn't it make you want to go skiing? Straight Creek Drivein Dillon is a street in a community of locals and offers an alternative to the prestigious pricing that occurs in other neighborhoods in Summit; this residence is no different. 
At the time of this Blog there were only two single family listings in Dillon under $595,000 and this is one of them at $544,000. This house features 1,821 square feet, four bedrooms, two and a half baths. The kitchen is showroom quality. Recently remodeled, the kitchen has beautiful granite countertops and top end appliances (GE Profile). Take a look: 


Being a split level home, there is a potential for a Mother-in-law apartment in the lower level. That level has three bedrooms, a small kitchenette and a refrigerator/ freezer combination as well as a second stack-able washer and dryer. The space could also be used as a potting room as light streams in through the south facing window throughout most of the day. 
With so many rooms, the owners opted to make one into an exercise gym. 
Head back upstairs and you pass a small den with a Murphy bed; a fantastic use of space and great for when hordes of friends and relatives come to visit your mountain retreat. 


The vaulted ceiling has beautiful tongue and groove woodwork and if you think the plasma screen is ideal, great, because that, the satellite dish and the electronic hardware to run it, all come with the house. The baseboard heat registers are new and keep this home cozy and warm, a necessity for when you come in from the deck after sitting in the Arctic Fox Ultra hot tub with the exotic jet package. The deck is on the homes south west corner, just off the kitchen/ living room, and has the uniqueness of both views and privacy. 
The home features a main floor master with a washer and dryer, a small vanity with a south facing window and bathroom. 
And the views from the windows: 
Have pets? This house is equipped with two dog doors- one of which looks like a kitchen cabinet, two fences and it backs up to open space. What could make a dog happier than that? In 2004, this home received a new paved drive, and garage door for the attached two car garage. In 2005, the windows and roof were replaced. The home is equipped with an endless hot water system so guests and family never run out of hot water, this also makes filling the hot tub a breeze. Location-wise the home is within a five minute drive to conveniences of Dillon. Dillon has a grocery store, liquor stores, two micro-breweries (the Dillon Dam Brewery and Pug Ryans), banks, gas stations, restaurants and coffee shops(Jersey Boys, Restaurante Al Lago, Sunshine Cafe, the Smiling Moose, Blue Moon Bakery, Wild Bill's Pizza, Masatos Sushi, Maxwell Street Diner, Ruby Tuesdays, Chimayo's Burritos, Cold Stone Creamery, Starbucks, Bamboo Garden, JJ's, just to name a few), video rentals, sporting good shops (Wilderness Sports, Virgin Island Rentals), an office supply store. The property sits just minutes from the highway for easy access after a long drive. Bike up and over the hill to the open air amphitheatre on Lake Dillon for the Friday free concerts in the park. Enjoy the farmers market for the freshest produce and local crafts. Sip a Mai Tai on the pier at the Marina's Tiki Bar as the sun sets behind the majestic mountains of the Ten Mile range. Use the paved bike path that wraps around the lake to create a lasting memory for the whole family. When a house is this close to amenities, has this much room, acreage that backs to open space, comes with stunning mountain views, accessibility to the great events that make Dillon unique, 20 minutes from five world class skiing resorts, five minutes to the highest freshwater sailing lake in the country, we can say that this house is pretty close to paradise.
