We're thrilled to offer our clients their process and look forward to naming three new Fox Crossing owners on March 17^th."

Fox Crossing is comprised of 20 distinct homes, each designed with a unified architectural look in Aspen's East End. Situated around a private internal park, each home features the trademark Charles Cunniffe style: dry stacked stone and timber with stucco exteriors and custom interiors that provide unobstructed views of Aspen Mountain. Stunning interiors echo the angles of the mountains just outside the picture windows, with vaulted ceilings, recessed lighting, beautiful hardwood floors and fireplaces throughout.

Heading to auction is 537 Race Alley, a seven bedroom, six and a half bath residence boasting 5,677 square feet and spectacular views. The three-level home offers four patios and generous living areas just off the development's Fox Meadows Park. There is also a two-car heated garage and a spacious entertainment room customizable to the owner's desires, whether for a game room, fitness room or theater.

511 Walnut Street is a 5,078-square-foot corner lot home named "The Olympic," offering stunning views of snow-capped Aspen and Buttermilk Mountains from each of its four bedrooms. There are two outdoor spaces – a covered deck off the great room and a balcony off the dining room. More than 750 square feet of covered deck wraps the house, perfect for enjoying Colorado's more than 300 days of sunshine.

The three premier homesites — Buildable Lots C, I and J — are ready to become the foundation of someone's next dream home. The new owners will enjoy all the exclusive amenities of Fox Crossing and stunning mountain views.
