Description
Embrace the unique heritage of Vail with this historic single-family home, the former residence of beloved Vail Trailblazers Byron and Vianne ''Vi'' Brown. Situated on a generous 0.72-acre lot, this 3,024 square foot, 7-Bedroom, 3-Bathroom property offers ample opportunity, Gore Range views, privacy, mature trees, and a direct connection to Vail's storied beginnings.
