Property Description

This is the Empire mountain retreat buyers hope to find: extensively remodeled, full of character, and truly turn-key. Thoughtfully updated from the inside out, this charming 2-bedroom, 1-bath ranch pairs modern finishes with warm mountain-home comfort. Inside, cement tile flooring flows through nearly the entire home, with carpet in only one bedroom. The renovated kitchen is a standout, featuring upper-end appliances, new soft-close cabinetry, detailed penny-tile countertops, and a quartz-topped steel island that brings both style and function to the heart of the home.

A bright sunroom adds flexible living space and the perfect place for morning coffee, plants, reading, or après-ski relaxation. Hydronic hot-water baseboard heat, a boiler approximately 7–8 years old, on-demand hot water, and three fireplaces/stand-alone stoves provide comfort through every season. Exterior upgrades include a durable metal roof, Hardie Board/fiber-cement siding, and double-pane windows for low-maintenance mountain living.

The fully fenced yard is a rare highlight, with established gardens, greenhouse, outdoor gathering areas, and room to relax, grow, and entertain. The garage and workshop add the storage and utility mountain buyers need for skis, bikes, tools, garden equipment, and weekend projects. Located in historic Empire with easy access to Loveland Ski Area, Winter Park, Idaho Springs, the Argo Mtn Bike park, hiking, biking, fishing, and I-70, this home is ready for year-round enjoyment. Offered optionally furnished and move-in ready, it is an excellent fit as a full-time residence, mountain getaway, or potential short-term rental opportunity. Buyer to verify all Town of Empire short-term rental licensing, permitting, and use requirements.
