MLS #5492640 image #0
Perched above the Steck Valley Greenbelt, The Sunset House is a study in light, scale, and modern restraint. Originally built in 1976 and fully transformed, this architectural residence embraces its setting with large windows, soaring ceilings, and expansive sunset views that shift with the day.
The home’s 2,731 square feet unfold with intention. A tranquil primary suite anchors the main level, while the lower level offers four additional bedrooms, two baths, a den, and a generous laundry room—creating natural separation and flexibility for guests, work, or multigenerational living. Several rooms feature private exterior access, seamlessly accommodating offices, studios, or creative spaces.
A comprehensive renovation by House of S+H Interiors touches every system—new windows, roof, electrical, plumbing, HVAC and flooring, paint (some custom plaster walls)—while material choices elevate the experience throughout. Brushed granite and natural quartzite countertops provide quiet sophistication, complemented by custom plastered walls and ceilings in the den and bathrooms. Sculptural lighting fixtures punctuate the home, reinforcing its warm, modern character and making it equally suited for intimate evenings or larger gatherings.
Set on a .271-acre lot and featured on the 2025 NARI Remodeled Homes Tour, The Sunset House is a rare blend of architectural clarity, thoughtful flexibility, and an unmistakable connection to its landscape.
