Come see this historic beautifully remodeled and expanded home, perched high above Ouray. Its premier location takes in the views across town, toward the Rock of Ages, Box Canon and the Amphitheatre. It's been owned by a much-loved Ouray family for more than two decades, and they've lovingly used it as their summer escape for both family and friends. Its address says it all! 136 Miners Lane is a short cul-de-sac of only 3 homes located directly above the lift house of the Ouray Ski Hill. Until just 30 years age it was tiny log cabin that didn't have heat or plumbing! Through the vision of the owners, architects and builders it has been transformed into a very comfortable modern home that incorporates the history and flavor of the past. The primary entrance has a covered porch along the Amphitheatre side, and you'll love those Alpenglow views! From here you enter the home into a sweet mud room or sitting area currently used as an office. This has a beautiful, historic decorative stove once used to keep this original cabin warm. This cabin was first enhanced with a full foundation and extensions both up and to the south, where the primary bedroom is located. The most recent remodel was especially impressive. The designer spent significant time staying here to get just that right 'feel' that expanded, yet kept the original flavor. This added a roomy, expansive great room, with kitchen, living room and dining area on its full west side. As you'll see, views are incredible of the surrounding mountains, and there's plenty of room for your guests to spread out and stay for a few hours or a few weeks. This level also includes a full bath, shared between the great room and the main bedroom, and a good sized laundry room. Much of your time will be spent on the large deck that overlooks the Town, and you'll love this sunny spot year-round. For those summer afternoons, an awning lends shade and coolness to the deck and the inside spaces. The upstairs is a work of art too-with winding stairs leading up, past the original cabin walls to a second bedroom, just large enough for a additional family members to live or guest to stay. There's even a second bathroom here too. These rooms have that coveted Amphitheatre view-which serves as a special treat! Whereas many homes in Ouray have partial or unusable lots, this home has a full lot, so there's room to spread out and expand. The west end of the property has a shed and there's plenty of room to store your toys outside on the lot. This is a special home-created to take in all that Ouray and all that Southwestern Colorado has to offer. Schedule your time to see it today. It's time for you to have your Ouray forever property!
