VZ Top is recognized for its appeal, sweeping long-range mountain vistas, peaceful surroundings, & rare, expansive common grounds that create a true sense of retreat while remaining minutes from town. Completely taken down to the studs & rebuilt with intention, this home stands apart as one of the most thoughtfully executed & comprehensive renovations in the community—where design, craftsmanship, & structural improvements were carried through every surface & system. The main level unfolds with an effortless flow, where soaring ceilings, reclaimed wood accents, & a dramatic stone fireplace create a warm yet refined mountain aesthetic. Expansive new windows invite the outdoors in. At the heart of the home, the completely new custom-designed kitchen has been elevated for both everyday living & entertaining—featuring new appliances, custom cabinetry, generous workspace, & a seamless connection to the dining area. The adjacent deck provides the perfect setting for morning coffee or evening gatherings overlooking the mountains. A charming spiral staircase leads to a loft space perfect for grandchildren or additional guests while a well placed 1/2 bath enhances main-level living. The lower level has been carefully redesigned to feel open & inviting, with widened hallways & a private guest suite featuring a newly added en-suite bath—ideal for hosting family & friends. With all new systems, finishes, & structural updates completed to modern standards—including windows, wiring, plumbing, & subflooring—this is a true “lock & leave” opportunity without compromise. The home is being offered fully furnished with a few exceptions. For buyers comparing opportunities within VZ Top, it is important to note that few—if any—residences have undergone this level of transformation, where both the visible design and the behind-the-walls infrastructure have been fully addressed. The result is a property that lives differently, feels different, & offers a level of finish & livability rarely found within the community. VZ Top offers its residents shared spaces that encourage connection & relaxation—from a croquet lawn & fire pit to scenic seating areas overlooking the mountains. Just moments away, Highlands provides its signature blend of fine dining, boutique shopping, & a vibrant arts community.
