178 Black Bear Trail Carbondale, CO 81623

Set on a quiet stretch at the back of the Blue Lake neighborhood, this roomy home backs directly to open space and is sheltered by mature aspens and cottonwoods. On one side, the neighborhood's long-term storage area for boats and RVs is quiet and uninhabited, leaving only one residential neighbor. The main level flows easily: open living/dining anchored by a freestanding gas fireplace and hardwood floors, plus a generous kitchen with slab-granite counters, pantry, sunny bay window, and newer stainless appliances. A walk-in pantry makes for easy food storage; a powder room serves this level. Upstairs is dedicated to rest and privacy: a roomy primary suite with a deck, a gas fireplace, two walk-in closets, a double vanity, a soaking tub, and a stone shower-plus two additional bedrooms and a remodeled hall bath. Laundry is a breeze with no schlepping downstairs! The lower level adds versatility with high ceilings, full bathroom, huge picture window, a pellet stove, and a separate exterior entry. This could be a guest space, office, gym, art studio or media space. Outdoors, there's a geneous yard and a large back deck which takes in the open-space feel with trail access nearby. A tall two-car garage features a mounted heater plus an attached craft/work room ideal for gear or studio use. In-floor radiant heating and fireplaces add comfort. Solid bones, livable now, ready for personalization and upgrades to your taste-with room to grow.
