About this property
New! Hilltop House in the Canyon
Unique. Elegant. Open. Tucked in a quiet cul-de-sac nestled on the edge of a cliff, this fully renovated duplex is a perfect base for all your Black Hills adventures! This unique property is one of two surviving duplexes from the historic flood of 1972. This home was moved from it's original creekside community to the top of this hill where is has resided since 1973.
Less than 10 minutes from Rapid city center, less than 5 minutes from the Black Hills National Forest, and approximately 30 minutes to Mount Rushmore, you will be right in the heart of our beloved Black Hills.
Our large 2 bedroom, 3 bath, 1931 square foot duplex has a large open floor plan with floor to ceiling windows looking out into the beautiful Black Hills from the edge of a cliff. Upstairs are two private bedrooms. The large master bedroom is equipped with both a king size bed, a sofa pullout, a walk-in closet with stackable washer/dryer, a private balcony overlooking the cliffside, and an ensuite bathroom. The second large bedroom has a queen size bed, twin bunk beds, and a large closet. The bathroom for this space is in the hallway next to the bedroom.
On the main floor is an open floorpan kitchen with a giant granite island seating 4 people. A dining room seating 6, two sitting areas, which looks out over the hills and a large smart TV over the fireplace make this a perfect community space to relax and unwind in-between your adventures.
On the main floor is also a full bathroom and a trundle bed that has two twin beds. The main floor also walks out to a large back deck overlooking the hills.
As a disclosure, the internet works great, but cell service tends to be spotty unless you are on the front or back deck.
