Telluride, San Miguel County

From the gorgeous hickory floors to the vaulted, cathedral-like ceiling in the master bedroom, this home has got us all in a dither. Only moments from Telluride's Gondola Plaza, this modern townhouse has been given an Alpine twist – think a feature, black-steel fireplace, a snug cosy reading nook complete with faux fur blankets, and a large grey sofa for cuddling up after days on the slopes.
