You can watch the sunrise over the ski area in the morning with coffee, and enjoy the sunset alpenglow on the mountain during happy hour from the balcony of this 2 bedroom 2½ bath condo at The Ranch. This condo is being sold furnished, so you just need your clothes and toys! The attached heated garage has direct access into the kitchen, so no need to thaw your windshield in the morning. Or better yet, utilize the on-call shuttle for super easy access to the ski area, groceries, or even for an evening out downtown. The open floor plan includes an eating bar at the kitchen that is adjacent to the dining area, which then flows into the living room. This main level has a half bath, and the two bedrooms and full bathrooms are downstairs one level with the windows on the ground level allowing for natural light. The washer and dryer are also on the bedroom level, making weekend cleanup and/or muddy clothing convenient to wash. You may stash your skis and boards either in the locker outside the front door, or pop them into the garage - no need to bring them in the home. Garages are key for the active Steamboat lifestyle, so you have a place for bikes, boats, floats, racquets, and rods. The Ranch at Steamboat sets itself apart from all the other mountain area condos in that there is dedicated open space out your door for walking your dog (or yourself) in a quiet, park-like atmosphere. The amenities onsite are some of the most extensive, including meeting space, a commercial kitchen for private events, outdoor grills on a deck overlooking the pool, 4 tennis courts, a fitness building that houses saunas, exercise facilities, locker rooms, showers, and a lovely outdoor pool and large hot pool open year round. The HOA provides wood for the wood-burning fireplace and has onsite staff for any maintenance issues that may come up. At 1326 sq ft, this is a very comfortable condo for long term stays, a second home, or a short term rental investment property. http://www.219ranch.com
