Steamboat Springs, CO 
Located in one of Steamboat's most tranquil neighborhoods, this immaculately-kept 3 bedroom, 1.5 bath home is on a large fenced lot bordering City-owned land. The exceptional location is unique; it is tucked away from any busy streets on a cul-de-sac with direct access to the Yampa River Core Trail, Emerald Park, and the Yampa River. A pond and wetlands area directly behind the house attracts a variety of birds and provides a natural buffer between the yard and the park/core trail/river corridor. The main level features a full kitchen with updated appliances, living and dining area, spacious laundry, and a powder room. Three bedrooms and a bathroom are on the second level. Large windows allow for sunlight and great views and the house is situated so that it stays cool in the summer. The house has an attached 2-car garage and the driveway allows for additional off-street parking. Howelsen Hill, the rodeo grounds, ice rink, Yampa Street, Lincoln Ave, Bud Werner Library, Rotary Park BoardWalk, and more can all be accessed via the paved, year-round 7.5 mile Core Trail. Freshies, one of the town's best breakfast/lunch restaurants, is just a block away. The Yampa River Botanic Park with 6 acres of gardens, water features, and sculptures is on the other side of the baseball/soccer/lacrosse fields. And those perfectly level fields of Emerald Park are a great place to cross country ski in the winter! Most of the land on the west side of the Yampa River and within the home's view corridor is under a conservation easement so the view from the back porch should remain as it is today. Less than 550 feet from the back deck is the bank of the Yampa River, home to rainbow, brown, and brook trout. Fishable year-round, this long stretch of public fishing is easy to access from the home. The Yampa River is an incredibly scenic stretch of water and it's common to see moose, bears, and the occasional elk and deer along the river. What a wonderful way to live in Steamboat!
