SPACE FOR EVERYONE, CROWDED FOR NO ONE This home was designed for multi-generational living the kind where three families can stay comfortably, yet everyone has their own retreat. - 6 bedrooms, 5.5 baths, including a private guest suite and a bunk room that sleeps 16 (yes, 16) with custom built-ins - Observatory bonus room, now a workout space, but imagine: kids' play loft, art studio, meditation room, whatever your family needs - Master suite that feels like a private spa, new wood floors, updated bath, and a view of the San Sofias that makes doing dishes at the kitchen sink feel like a luxury experience (the seller's words, not mine) - Multiple living spaces; great room with vaulted ceilings and new gas fireplace, cozy den, outdoor living on the back deck The layout is genius: intimate enough to feel like home, spacious enough that no one's tripping over each other. Your daughter's family takes the mother-in-law suite. Your son's crew claims the bunk room. You retreat to the master. And somehow, it never feels crowded. THE LOCATION: 15TH TEE BOX, PUBLIC TRAILS, AND A GONDOLA RIDE TO SKIING Mountain Village isn't just ski-in/ski-out convenience (though you're minutes from Lift 4 via the free gondola). It's a LIFESTYLE and 130 Russell Drive sits in the sweet spot. What makes this location special: - Right on the public trails; step out your back door onto Mountain Village's cross-country ski, running, and walking trails. No car needed. No crowds. Just you, the dogs, and the San Sofias. - 15th tee box of the Telluride Golf Course; summer mornings mean coffee on the deck watching golfers tee off, then an electric bike ride to the Village Market or Big Billy's for lunch - Gondola and Village Core access via the Dial-a-Ride app, free public transportation picks you up at the touch of a button and delivers you to skiing, dining, and the village core in minutes - Privacy without isolation you're tucked into a quiet neighborhood with warm, welcoming neighbors, but you're never far from the action This is the Goldilocks location: close enough to everything, far enough from everyone. THE LIVED-IN MAGIC: WHAT THE SELLERS WILL MISS MOST** The sellers didn't just own this home they lived it. And their favorite memories paint the picture of what your family's life here could look like: - Watching the elk graze quietly out back from the hot tub at sunset - Après in the sauna after a long powder day - or a cold plunge if you're up for it! - Sledding with the kids (and the dogs) right behind the house - Sitting by the fire, staring out the front windows at the San Sofias like it's a green screen - Watching Mountain Village fireworks from the back porch on holidays private, magical, just for them - Walking the golf course in summer down to Big Billy's, over to The Peaks, soaking in the views - Riding electric bikes to the village for a snack or a bottle of wine - The convenience of the Dial-a-Ride in both summer and winter no shuttles to coordinate, no parking to worry about These aren't features. They're proof that this home delivers on the promise: a life well-lived, with the people you love, in one of the most beautiful places on earth. --- THE UPDATES: METICULOUSLY IMPROVED, TURNKEY READY The sellers have poured care (and capital) into this home so you can walk in, unpack, and start making memories. Recent improvements include: - New wood flooring in the basement and master bedroom/bath - New lighting and fixtures throughout; modern, warm, elevated - Fully automated smart home system, new alarm, phone-based thermostats, control it all from anywhere - Updated kitchen new fridge, microwave, dishwasher, sink, and a gorgeous new wine cabinet - New gas fireplace (plus a wood-burning permit - yes, you can have both) - Exterior fully re-stained and resealed; this home will look pristine for years - New sinks, exhaust fans, hardware, and toilets throughout - the boring stuff that matters - All electrical receptacles - replaced safety and function, handled - New window coverings and updated furnishings, move-in ready - Boot warmers and ski racks in the garage ... because après starts the moment you pull in! - Custom built-in bunk beds, sleeps 16 comfortably - New cabinetry and countertops in the laundry room, even the utility spaces are elevated This isn't a fixer. It's a ready-to-love home. --- THE TELLURIDE DIFFERENCE: WHY MOUNTAIN VILLAGE WINS If you're comparing Telluride to Aspen, Park City, or Jackson - let me save you some time. Telluride isn't trying to be those places. And that's exactly the point. Here, you get: - Authentic mountain culture without the see-and-be-seen energy - World-class skiing without the crowds (Telluride averages 300+ days of sunshine and some of the best powder in Colorado) - A tight-knit community where your neighbors know your name and your kids can roam free - Easier access than you think; Montrose Airport is 90 minutes away with direct flights from major hubs, plus an hourly shuttle service & of course our local Telluride Airport - Privacy and elbow room; Mountain Village feels spacious, never claustrophobic And here's the kicker: your family will actually want to come back. Because Telluride isn't about impressing people. It's about being with people. --- **THE REAL QUESTION: WHAT'S THIS WORTH TO YOU?** $7.5 million is a significant investment. So let's talk about what you're really buying: - A place where your adult children will choose to spend their vacation time, with you - A home where your grandkids will learn to ski, build snowmen, and create memories they'll carry forever - A retreat where you can finally step off the treadmill and into the life you've been working toward - An asset in one of the most desirable mountain markets in the world. Telluride's limited inventory and natural beauty make it a smart long-term hold - A turnkey, meticulously maintained home that requires nothing but your presence You've spent decades building. Now it's time to enjoy what you built ~ with the people who matter most.
