AspenHouse was completed in early 1997. While it was built as a traditional log and stone home, its very core is state of the art including satellite TV/audio with whole house distribution, high speed access to the Internet, a sophisticated electronic lighting system, an ultra-modern, fully-equipped kitchen as well as radiant heating, an outside, covered hot tub with adjacent space heater as well as a new digital phone system with house wide paging. The house is very private, with outstanding views of Aspen Mountain while being a mere 8 minute walk to the gondola. Throughout most of the winter it is bathed in sunlight with its stone mass keeping the house at a constant, comfortable temperature.
