An 8,300-Square-Foot Hillside Dream Comes to Life

As the popular Colorado saying goes, “You come for the winters but stay for the summers.” For Stacey and Trey Odom, that was definitely the case. The Houston-based couple bought a small duplex in the Arrowhead development in Edwards 16 years ago, thinking they would just use the home for ski vacations in the colder months. But, then, Stacey says, they found a community. “At first, we would only come in the winters, but then we started coming in the summers, making friends through our activities.

Now, these are my people, my best friends,” she says. “We travel with them all over the world. I wanted to stay here all the time and got FOMO when I wasn’t here.” But, Stacey continues, their dated home in Arrowhead wasn’t quite right. “The look and colors weren’t really us,” she says, so they started looking for something else. When the couple attended a party in 2018 at a friend-of-a-friend’s home nearby, the Odoms realized exactly what they wanted. “I fell in love with this house. It was light and airy and contemporary but really transitional.

It wasn’t old-school mountain rustic,” says Stacey. She quickly located the team behind the home and hired the same builder and interior designer to create a similar feel for a house they had recently purchased, also in Arrowhead. Builder/designer Rick Hermes of Resorts Concepts took on the massive renovation, gutting the 8,300-square-foot home and redesigning the space in accordance with his clients’ ideas. “My goal was to get the bones of the original house to align with their specific vision,” says Hermes.

“We took it down to the bare studs and revamped the entire house to add more light and outdoor living space.” Every window and door was replaced, and eventually Hermes added on 2,000 square feet, plus a four-car garage. Because the home had been previously renovated multiple times, the team encountered surprises—and challenges—along the way. Interior designer Katy Allen, who had actually designed the home for prior owners 12 years earlier, says even she was surprised by the magnitude of the remodel. “We blew open a wall in the lower level and found another 20’ x 20’ room,” she remembers. “So we needed to figure out what that room needed to be. It was kind of designing as you go.”

Entryway The spacious entryway features a rug by The Scarab, Palacek baskets, and the Sydney white oak table by Robert James.

The finished result is spectacular, says Allen, a timeless home that exudes refined mountain elegance with a comfortable, open floor plan. “It’s light-filled, soothing and calm, with zen like accents of blues and grays and greens. It’s almost spa-esque,” she says. Allen designed the interior in a warm, neutral palette with comfortable furnishings accented with pops of color from the Odoms’ personal art collection. Although the two-year project was definitely extensive and consuming, the timing couldn’t have worked out better for the Odoms, whose two adult children each now have young children and visit often. “The way the house is designed is a fluke in that it’s so perfect for us now,” says Stacey. “We added separate staircases which go up to two bedrooms each—so both families have their own little wing.”

The primary bedroom is on the main floor, making the home feel more cozy and intimate when it’s just Stacey and Trey there. The Odoms, who now spend Christmas through March, and June through October, at their mountain home, use their entertaining spaces year-round, hosting parties in their expansive outdoor living area or in the elegant bottom floor complete with a bar, game room and shuffleboard table, opening onto the outdoor living space. Inevitably, “the party always spills out to the patio with live music,” says Stacey. Stacey’s favorite spot in the house? The cozy, small hearth room off the kitchen. “I remember walking in after the install and literally saying, ‘I can’t believe this is my home.’ It was just that beautiful. I felt like I walked into a magazine article.” And, two years later, she did.
