This BRAND NEW 2,000 square foot contemporary home with 3 BEDROOMS and 2.5 BATHS sleeps up to 10 people and sits in an amazing location – across the street from the beautiful Arkansas river and within a 10-minute walk to historic downtown Salida. World-class fishing and an amazing array of mountain bike & walking/running trails are accessible from the front door, and Monarch Mountain is a short 25-minute drive. This bright and spacious home features an open floor plan with comfortable indoor and outdoor dining and lounging options. The many large windows look out over the town baseball fields and onto the celebrated “S Mountain” and surrounding hills. A short walk across the street leads to a number of incredible fishing holes, and a beautiful riverside walking path that heads to nearby Sands Lake or towards town. The fully-stocked kitchen features a large island with bar stool seating for four, stainless steel appliances, and plenty of countertop and cabinet space. A black walnut dining table comfortably seats eight and adjoins the living room, which includes a cozy sectional couch, two comfy armchairs with ottomans, and a flat screen television. The first floor also includes a long window seat (a perfect nook for relaxing with a good book), several large coat/shoe closets, and a half bath. The upstairs includes three spacious bedrooms with gorgeous views of the surrounding hills, two large bathrooms, an office space, and laundry room. The master bedroom includes a king-sized bed and en suite bathroom with a walk-in shower. The second bedroom has a queen bed, and the “bunk room” features a queen-over-queen bunk and a twin XL trundle. A toddler mattress and/or pack n play fits in the office space for additional sleeping. All bedrooms include big closets with lots of storage space. Additionally, the bunk room has a wall-mounted flat screen TV for getting cozy and watching movies in bed. The shared guest bathroom includes a shower with tub, and a “bonus” sink area that allows for additional use and privacy. The upstairs layout is perfect for families, families traveling together, multiple couples, or multi-generational family gatherings. Heading outside, there are large decks at each end of the house, perfect for relaxing outside. The front deck, which features a porch swing (with an amazing view of "S" mountain), will soon include built-in benches and a dining table– a perfect spot for enjoying your morning coffee or afternoon happy hour! Large sliding patio doors open onto the back deck, which includes a seating area with couch, love seat, chairs, and coffee table.
