18 Maroon Avenue, Crested Butte, CO 81224

Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac in Crested Butte’s coveted West End, 18 Maroon offers a rare blend of privacy, craftsmanship, and walk-to-everything convenience. Just one block from Elk Avenue and steps from the Woods Walk and Lower Loop trail systems, this home provides immediate access to dining, shopping, hiking, biking, and Nordic skiing, all while enjoying a peaceful, residential setting. Enhancing the sense of space and seclusion, the property sits adjacent to a neighboring home on an oversized .36-acre town lot, offering exceptional privacy without the added cost or maintenance of a large parcel. Designed by local architect Daniel Murphy and built by Johnny Biggers of Crested Butte Builders, the home reflects exceptional craftsmanship and refined mountain luxury throughout. The top floor serves as the heart of the home, where vaulted ceilings crown the living, kitchen, and dining areas. A dramatic floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace anchors the living room, while reclaimed heart pine trusses and wide-plank chestnut floors add warmth and character throughout. The chefs kitchen is both beautiful and functional, featuring granite countertops and premium SubZero, Wolf, and Miele appliances. The kitchen and dining areas open to a spacious deck with impressive views of Mt. Crested Butte, creating an ideal setting for gathering and entertaining. The main level offers comfortable and private sleeping quarters, with three well-appointed bedrooms, including a serene primary suite with an ensuite bath. Two additional bedrooms share a beautifully finished full bath, and each bedroom is enhanced by striking copper ceilings- an unexpected architectural detail. Also on this level is a welcoming lounge area with a wet bar that opens directly to the private brick paver patio, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living amid mature trees and landscaped surroundings. The finished lower level expands the home’s versatility with a second family room, a game area, a fourth bedroom, and two additional baths, one of which offers a steam shower. A dedicated laundry room is also located on this level, providing both convenience and functionality for full-time living or extended stays. Outdoors, the beautiful patio connects the main residence to the heated 633-square-foot two-car garage, which offers ample storage along with a dog and boot wash station. Above the garage, a 399 square foot studio is finished with reclaimed barn wood floors, custom built-in cabinetry, and a 1/2 bath, offering flexible space for work, guests, or creative pursuits. Thoughtfully designed, richly detailed, and ideally located, this exceptional West End home captures the essence of Crested Butte living.
