Mountain living with urban convenience in a thoughtfully modernized historic house from the late 1800's. Minutes away from historic Miner Street in beautiful Idaho Springs, this house balances the perfect combination of urban and rural qualities. We're almost perfectly equidistant from Denver international airport and some of the top ski resorts in the world over in Summit County, with the city of Golden and Loveland Ski Resort being only 26 minutes away in either direction by car. Within a 3-minute walk there's a bus station that runs direct lines to Denver Union Station, a modern rec center with an indoor pool and gym, public library, brewery, deli, 24-hour convenience store, 3 gas stations, and a Tesla Supercharger. Two more minutes gets you access to bars, breweries, restaurants, coffee shops, and several consignment/thrift stores and outdoor gear shops. A Safeway grocery store, pharmacy, hot springs spa, post office, public park, hardware store, and everything else you need is between 3 minute drive or a 10-15 minute walk, and the nearby town of Evergreen has more big-brand places 15 minutes away by car. All of that at 7,526 feet elevation in the midst of the Rocky Mountains in immediate proximity to paved walking and biking paths and a short trek to some serious hiking and downhill mountain bike trails over at the brand new Argo cable car and Virginia Trail system.
