HOMESITE #19: Hygge Haus

Hygge Haus, pronounced “hoo-guh,” named after a Danish term celebrating “a quality of both luxury and comfort that incites a feeling of contentment or well-being,” was designed to maximize light at every turn. Smart, Scandinavian design features embrace clean simple lines, minimalism, and functionality without sacrificing beauty. Interior spaces, free of clutter and ornamentation, feature open floor plans, with flexible spaces that can accommodate a variety of activities, rather than serving just one function, furthering the practicality of the home’s design. Floor-to-ceiling windows invite awe-inspiring vistas of the Steamboat ski area, the South Valley and surrounding wildlife preserve.

At sunset, the residence is bathed in pink light from Steamboat Springs’ famous Alpenglow, making it difficult to leave home for the fine dining options located just minutes away at the base of the Steamboat ski area, or a stroll around Steamboat’s charming downtown. Easy driveway access and extraordinary wildlife viewing next to the Upland Preserve, featuring maintained hiking and snowshoeing trails, make this home an excellent choice for an outdoor, adventure-loving family.
