As I mentioned in my last blog, I am becoming an expert at the “deals”in Vail Valley Real Estate. Well, I saw one today that is well worth mentioning. In fact, this is a steal. First of all, it was bought brand new in 2006 for $699,000. The owners have spent the past two years upgrading it into a true custom home in a very rare location in this planned community. This is a tract home subdivision in disquise because there are so many options for floorplans, features, etc. The owners have added the following in the past two years: designer paint, landscaping, xeriscape in the back, two pairs of high quality washer/dryers for each of two laundry/utility rooms, prewired for surround sound, security system, 2 50 gallon hot water heaters, whol house humidifier, central air conditioning, closet organizers, high grade berber carpet and hardwood floors. There is more as the basement has been finished to include two more bedrooms, floor to ceiling rock fireplace which doubles as a heater, and 400 feet of storage area and custom paint throughout.
