2007 Soda Ridge Road, Keystone, CO 80435

The two-story windows at Soda Spring are the first thing you notice. They pull the southwest mountain and forest views inside and fill this 1-bed, 2-bath, 891 square foot condo with the kind of light that makes the space feel larger than the footprint.

The kitchen is fully updated with new stainless steel appliances, and the rain shower heads in both baths signal that the details were done right. Step outside and the private deck holds a table and chairs with the same views you just left inside. The complex adds an outdoor pool, indoor hot tub, and a grill area.

Cross the street and you are in the national forest, with hiking, mountain biking, and cross-country skiing accessible without a car. This is a property you arrive at and immediately stop thinking about everywhere else.
