1872 Christie Drive

Description

Among the most architecturally significant new construction residences to reach the Steamboat base area, 1872 Christie Drive occupies a premier corner site with sweeping views from the ski slopes to Emerald Mountain, the Flat Tops, and Sleeping Giant. A 6-bedroom, move-in-ready home of this scale, this close to the mountain base, stands in a class by itself in the current market. Designed by architect Kevin Cherek and built by Houston-based Covington Builders, the 7,305-square-foot home draws on a contemporary mountain palette of structural steel, glass, and oak, with an elevator, expansive living areas, and bedroom suites configured for multi-generational living or short-term rental use in the Green Zone. Enter past architectural glass and wood stairs to the great room, kitchen, and dining area, where glass walls open to the mountain panoramas. A floor-to-ceiling steel fireplace brings a modern aesthetic, while the chef's kitchen showcases a quartzite island and Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, with a butler's kitchen positioned behind for large-scale entertaining. A glass-enclosed wine room sits off the main gathering space, and a bar with dual TVs extends the entertaining program. The wraparound deck features glass-and-steel railings, a sunken hot tub, and built-in BBQ kitchen. Upstairs, three bedroom suites include two primaries, designed as private retreats with wet bars, terraces, soaking tubs, and walk-in dressing rooms with dedicated laundry. The lower level centers on a bar, game and media room, positioned alongside two ensuite bedrooms with private terrace access and a custom bunk room with two queen beds and four twins, plus a large full bath. Additional features include 12-inch white oak flooring, an expansive mudroom, radiant heat, central air, tankless on-demand hot water, and pre-wiring for AV and security. Short-term rentals are permitted, with projected annual rental income of $273K to $495K. A short walk to the lifts, base area shops, and dining.
