31074 Upper Bear Creek Rd, Evergreen, CO, 80439

Riverside Renovation! Upper Bear Creek has been Evergreen's most exclusive address for a century. The rippling waters of the eponymous Bear Creek and magical mountain settings have long been a draw. This 6 acre property, with its towering pines and 1/3 mile of river frontage is truly special, as it has been extensively restored while staying true to its 1939 charm. Over a million dollars went into the thoughtful, comprehensive renovation of the 7,088 sqft, 5 bed, 5 bath home and every detail is first class. The walls were taken to a level five, museum grade finish. Gorgeous wide plank white oak flooring, wool carpet and poplar baseboards are the perfect backdrop to the new floor-to-ceiling windows and La Cantina sliding wall that bestow stunning natural light. Custom insulating and sound deadening window inserts went into the 1939 era windows to preserve their integrity. From custom cabinetry and quartzite countertops on dual islands, to hand-painted tile, the kitchen is an absolute dream. The refrigerator, freezer drawers and icemaker are by True, and the 48" range is Wolf. Amongst multiple living spaces are 5 fireplaces, completely reworked as gas while keeping the original stonework that is so quintessentially Evergreen. High-end design features like custom steel posts and rails and stunning light fixtures give the home a clean, modern aesthetic while keeping just the right amount of mountain charm. The main level powder room is a jewel box of custom tile and wallpaper. The outdoor spaces feel like a fairy tale with new flagstone patios, garden pathways, an original "wishing well" and a smokeless wood fire pit. A graceful walkway leads to a detached garage and the darling 1,080 sqft guest house, complete with a kitchen, new fireplace, 2 bedrooms and 1 bath. Sit and listen to the creek or get out your fishing pole! Host a BBQ or hike to the top of the property and into the famed 3 Sisters Open Space - home to the most hiking trails per acre of any foothills park!
