Sold Properties Last Week:

MLS #154620 – East Aspen, 855 Gibson Avenue Unit A (1/2 Duplex), Aspen, CO: Sold Price: $8,750,000/$1,520 sq ft; unfurnished. More details below photos.

MLS #154620 – East Aspen, 855 Gibson Avenue Unit A  (1/2 Duplex), Aspen, CO: Sold Price: $8,750,000/$1,520 sq ft; unfurnished. Aspen homes for sale. Ask Price: $10,995,000. (Original Price: $10,995,000 and 133 days on the market since 06/13/2018. The Aspen Times reported this morning that the property sold at $8.55M/$1,486 sq ft but this has not been verified at present.) This is a 1994 built and 2012 remodeled, 5 bedroom/5 bath/1 half-bath/1 den, 5,754 sq ft single family home with 2 car garage on a 27,912 sq ft lot. Tim’s notes:  This is a beautiful large 1/2 duplex residence on a sizable flat lot that lives like a single family home.  It is located on the front southern row perch of the Smuggler Area facing Aspen Mtn and the RF River – it is a walk-able distance into town, to the Rio Grande Trail and Park and the Smuggler Shuttle Bus is directly across the street.  Very convenient just north of the outer perimeter of the Aspen Core. In the winter, the property has open dead-on views of Aspen Mountain and the Roaring Fork River running directly towards the house; in summer, these staggering views are obscured by foliage. The Smuggler area has had sales in the past 1-2 years at $1,500-2,000 sq ft and this was a slam-dunk deal for the buyer at the low end of that range. The seller was an estate divesting the holdings of an individual who passed away suddenly and unexpectedly in his 50’s, and there was motivation to sell the property within a self-imposed 6-month time frame which they accomplished almost to the day.  Broker comments are “This mountain contemporary home is the perfect Aspen retreat.  Situated on a rare 27,000 square foot lot, this incredible home enjoys south facing views of both Aspen Mountain and the Roaring Fork River. The main floor is sprawling and entertains perfectly as it flows easily to the expansive outdoor patio and grassy lawn. The custom kitchen is open to the formal dining area, and expansive living room with fireplace, soaring ceilings and over-sized windows to enjoy views of Ajax Mountain and the river. The main floor also has a den with custom built-ins, a wet bar and full bathroom. The top floor has an office and spacious air conditioned master suite with a private south-facing balcony, fireplace, and his/hers closets. A walk-out lower level features 3 en suite bedrooms and a living room. Addendum to brokers comments: “The existing homes on this property share one common wall (den) and do not share any common areas, limited common areas or expenses. The yards and entertaining areas are well separated and private. A fantastic income producing 1 bedroom caretaker unit with living area, kitchen and separate entrance currently generates $2,000/month. Apartment is not deed restricted. Unfurnished, artwork excluded.” 2017 taxes: $14,946. City of Aspen RETT Transfer Tax of approx. 1.5% payable by buyer. Under Contract Date: 11/15/2018; Sold Date: 11/21/2018.

Tim’s notes: This location and property will be a prime beneficiary as the Lift 1A area is transformed with more accessible ski access and new commerial lodging, new OneAspen Townhomes and condo development over the next 2-5 years.  Broker comments are “Fantastic location, close to everything in the Aspen core. One block from Lift 1A and next to Koch Park, this one bedroom, one bath condo is just a short walk to the gondola, shopping and restaurants.
