Tucked within one of Vail Village's most historic and coveted neighborhoods, this exceptional residence offers the rare opportunity to live steps away from world-class skiing, dining, and entertainment—while enjoying the privacy and serenity of a tucked-away mountain retreat. Originally designed by renowned architect Gordon Pierce and recently reimagined by one of the most respected names in contemporary alpine design, Kyle Webb, this home has undergone a complete transformation. Every detail was meticulously curated by a discerning team: the architect, the owner, and a talented interior designer who also owns in the neighborhood. The result is a masterwork—blending timeless mountain character with fresh modern luxury. From the moment you arrive, the exterior's elegant stonework and striking entrance set the tone: this is a residence of significance. Inside, large windows and open spaces invite natural light and mountain views. The interiors are warm, sophisticated, and artfully tailored—enhanced by the owner's personal collection of art that perfectly complements the home's gallery-like openness. The main living area seamlessly opens onto a thoughtfully designed wraparound patio, complete with a firepit, water feature, and vibrant garden landscaping. 5 bedrooms, including a sun-drenched primary suite with a spa-like bath and large walk-in closet, 4 guest suites with ensuite bathrooms, one currently doubling as a home gym, and a lovely top floor guest suite with private walk-out patio - ideal for peaceful morning coffee or evening stargazing. Highlights of other spaces include a chef's kitchen beautifully appointed for entertaining, mudroom and two laundry areas. Surrounded by regal pine trees, the home is a seasonal sanctuary—lush and vibrant in summer, softly insulated in winter. With deep roots in Vail's architectural history and a renewed sense of modern elegance, this home is not just a residence—it is a legacy.
