173 NATIONAL DRIVE A rare opportunity to own one of the few true ski-in/ski-out family homes in the prestigious Orchard community, 173 National Drive is being offered for the first time in nearly 20 years. Set on the largest lot in the development, this exceptional reverse pie-shaped property offers over 150 ft of direct frontage backing onto Craigleith Ski Club, capturing uninterrupted views of the slopes and escarpment in every season. Thoughtfully positioned for privacy, the home delivers a true alpine setting designed for four-season family living. Just steps from the V-Hill chair, mornings begin with effortless first tracks while the ability to ski home for lunch makes family days on the hill easy and flexible. The club shuttle at the doorstep simplifies après-ski, lessons, and events, and direct access to private year-round trails encourages outdoor adventure beyond winter. Inside, the sought-after Panorama model features a dramatic Normerica great room with soaring ceilings and upgraded windows that frame the mountain views. Warm pine trim, upgraded oak hardwood flooring, and custom finishes create the timeless feel of a luxury ski chalet. The home offers five bedrooms and four bathrooms, including a private primary retreat, along with two spacious family rooms providing ample space for children, guests, and multigenerational gatherings. The finished lower level is set up as a games and recreation room, ideal for evenings after the slopes. Recent improvements include new appliances installed in December 2025, and the seller will refinish the hardwood flooring prior to closing upon request. Residents enjoy exclusive access to Orchard amenities including pool, tennis, and pickleball courts just steps from the backyard. Whether as a full-time residence or a cherished weekend retreat, this is a truly irreplaceable family ski chalet offering. (id:203)
