ment. This year, she was finally granted permission from the Aspen Historical Society to build a brand-new, two-story staircase between the existing structure and new structure, which would effectively bring the home’s two staircases down to one and allow for even more space on the main level. It’s one of many value-added benefits that she will pass on to the future homeowner. Notes Carrie Wells of Coldwell Banker Mason Morse, who holds the listing: “Zoning has changed so much in Aspen. One can no longer build a residence in the core anymore, making an existing single-family

detached home such as this Victorian really rare and desirable. Because of that, we’re already seeing the highest price-per-square foot sale — above $5,000 per square foot — in downtown Aspen this year. “The reason why downtown is so popular is be- cause you can walk everywhere and don’t have to rely on a car. People from metro areas like New York and Chicago can walk to skiing, walk to restaurants, walk to shopping. They’re right where the action is. That is what makes this home so incredibly special — there are so very few single-family detached homes in the core.”
