No Open Concept Here
Back in the days of miners and ladies with questionable reputations, the homes that dotted the landscape offered rooms each designed with a clear purpose, offering doors and walls that separate each room from the other. Open concept floor plans only occurred in rustic cabins built at the hands of their owners, and as much as we enjoy a rustic cabin, our town of Telluride historic homes are grander in stature, and even as they don’t offer that open concept floor plan, your dining adventures will bring back feelings of those older and gentler times. In Victorian days, playing games were commonplace and our dining rooms, built to make the most of your meals, are great spaces for playing board games with your family, building puzzles on snowy nights, and sharing stories of your past, while laughing at thoroughly modern dad jokes you have heard a million times before.
History and Today Share the Limelight
The kitchens of our historic homes are where the mixture of today and yesteryear really makes itself known. Offering period details such as subway tile and custom cabinets, the thoroughly modern appliances will help bring back your joy in cooking. Gourmet gas ranges, updated dishwashers, and bottom mount refrigerators with stainless steel appeal, plus, small appliances that include coffee makers or Keurigs, blenders, and in some of historic escapes, wine refrigerators that encourage you to fill them with your favorite wines.

Our bedrooms are where we have the most fun, creating spaces where sleep will be deep, dreams will be happy, and life will just seem sweeter.

Every home we offer, historical or not, has a story to tell, are you the one who is going to be able to hear them being told?
