A 1960s Aspen Retreat Reborn as a Modern Mountain Sanctuary
When a young family traded Los Angeles living for Aspen’s alpine lifestyle, they revamped a 1960s property into a tranquil modern refuge that blends seamlessly with its surroundings. Working with Alexander Design, they infused the home with natural textures, sculptural elements, and expansive glazing that frames the peaks just beyond. The result is a refined yet livable retreat centered on art, comfort, and connection.
Key Points
• The 9,500 square foot home features interiors inspired by minimalist Japanese design and crisp American modernism
• Custom brass fireplaces anchor both the living room and primary suite
• An entire level is dedicated to entertaining with a media room, game room, and mirrored bar
• Large windows and warm materials create an inviting atmosphere with views of Aspen Mountain
This revitalized Aspen home showcases how thoughtful design can honor its setting while introducing a fresh, contemporary spirit. As more families seek elevated mountain living, homes like this set a new standard for modern alpine luxury.
