Must SeeTop 10 Florida Condos For Sale

A rare and exciting opportunity has hit the market that heretofore we could only dream about and we did . . . for months! Every year, HGTV creates a stunning home in an equally stunning location crafted by their masterful designers that they give away in their Dream Home Sweepstakes to a lucky winner. In 2011, it was a spectacular Stowe, Vermont ski home. Certainly one of the best HGTV home prize winners ever.

When Eric and Catherine Makstenieks of Hinsdale, Illinois won the drawing out of more than 76 million entries, they had never visited Vermont. A young family with two small children and job responsibilities in the Chicago suburb of Hinsdale, the Makstenieks have only had the chance to visit the house five times since their amazing win.

They arrived for the first time during the last week of ski season and were fascinated by the grandeur of the home and watching skiers swoop down the mountainside. Eric told Stowe Today that the mountains took on a completely different characteristic in the summer and it was like living in a tree house. Since it’s so hard for them to leave their responsibilities in Illinois for frequent visits, they felt it best to sell the Spruce Peak resort home to someone who could live there full time or enjoy it on extended visits.

A design combination of Adirondack camp and contemporary, the 3,400 square foot home is intimate enough for a couple and spacious enough to comfortably house 14 family members and friends. With two large gathering rooms on two floors and large chef’s kitchen, entertaining will be a breeze. The kitchen has top-of-the-line appliances and in some cases doubles, such as two dishwashers and two ovens. Views of the ski slopes are stunning through huge windows and glass walls. Amenities are too numerous to name as is true of all HGTV Dream Homes, but are guaranteed to thrill.

The home is being sold just as HGTV designed it, completely furnished, including artwork by Vermont sculptors, painters and photographers.

HGTV 2011 Dream Home now for sale. Priced at $2,995,000 down from $3,795,000.
