Granite Canyon House

Granite Canyon Home is a lovely 1940s log home set into a hillside on the slopes of Snow King, the original ski mountain in downtown Jackson. Green lawns and wildflowers surround the home in the summertime. Towering shade trees keep it cool and tucked away in summer and in the winter, after all the leaves have fallen, the sunlight abounds. Summer concerts at Snow King fill the surrounding streets with music; the Alpine Slide is within walking distance, and the bustling boutiques and restaurants of Jackson are close by. The home is fully and beautifully designed, with handcrafted furnishings and rich Great Camp décor. An atmosphere of elegance, warmth, and welcome pervades the house. Thick log walls are adorned with vintage photos and glowing oil paintings. Old oak floors are spread with antique Navajo rugs and skylights flood the house with light. The home is built around a massive column of fieldstone – a wood-burning hearth with two fireplace openings, each facing a different area of the open ground floor. The antique, iron-studded front door opens to the first of the fireplace openings. A second faces the living room, where stick-built armchairs with leather cushions are gathered before a coffee table and a flat-screen TV. In the dining room, a long wood table stands in front of a wide window, and French doors open to the backyard. The home chef will love the light-filled, open kitchen. A moose-antler chandelier hangs from the vaulted wood ceiling and a center island serves as a breakfast bar. Top-flight appliances, leaded-glass cabinets, and a view of the lawn and leafy woods make the kitchen a delightful place to cook and gather. A few steps away is a walk-in pantry with a Dutch door, and adjacent, a regal grouping of 19th Century German antler chairs looks out through a wide picture window to downtown Jackson. A half-flight of stairs leads from the living area up to the bedroom wing. There are three bedrooms on this level and a bunkroom at the top of the house.
