This home welcomes you with its cheerful blue exterior and sunny yellow front door, plus a covered porch with seating where you can enjoy a shady iced tea break – or, if you’d rather, move your chair forward to the platform deck and soak in the sun. Home Office If you work from home or have children in school, this home offers dedicated quiet spaces you’ll be grateful for every day. One, a spacious office on the main level, is outfitted with an L-shaped desk, a monitor to plug-in your laptop, a filing cabinet, paper shredder, bulletin board, open shelving, and for your added comfort, a ceiling fan and a pleasant picture window. The second work space is on the lower level, furnished with a desk and desk lamp, lots of open shelves, several storage units for smaller items like office and craft supplies, and multiple memo boards. Kitchen You’ll have the use of a suite of full-size stainless-steel appliances, including a refrigerator/freezer with an in-door ice dispenser, a range incorporating a cooktop and oven, microwave, dishwasher, blender, coffee maker, toaster, hand mixer, baking sheets, muffin tin, tupperware, and wine glasses. A wall-mounted pot rack is home to a large collection of cookware, leaving you even more open cabinet space for groceries, etc. While you work, you’ll appreciate the daylight flooding through the large window that overlooks the backyard. Living Space Step through your front door and find yourself in an airy, open concept living space with unobstructed views between the sitting area, dining area and kitchen. You’ll find the décor light, contemporary and comfortable, with just a hint of a “mountain chalet” feel from the cognac-colored wood ceiling beams and the snow shoes hung above the hearth above the electric fireplace. The entryway was made for real life, but attractively so, with coat pegs, a shoe rack, and a console table with a memo board hanging above. Hey, gang, let’s keep everything neat and organized! The sitting area offers an inviting sofa beneath a big picture window plus a coffee table, perfect for a quiet chat or a cat nap. The dining area is a bright, cozy space with a window overlooking the backyard, and a French door leading onto the backyard patio. A rustic yet elegant dining table made from a chunky natural wood slab is surrounded by vintage-style seating for at least 6. An old-fashioned white dish cabinet lends additional charm to the space. Bedrooms The bedrooms in this home have all been decorated in a simple, casual-contemporary style to make anyone feel at home. On the main floor, the primary bedroom – a large private suite -- welcomes you with a Caribbean blue feature wall behind the California King-size bed that’s sure to lift your mood. Drift comfortably from your bed and into the adjoining bath, with its well-lit sink vanity with a granite countertop and storage below, plus a large shower behind glass doors. If you have a considerable wardrobe, this place is for you! A large walk-in closet is completely tricked-out in shelving and hanging rails, PLUS, there’s an additional space for clothing storage just outside the closet entrance, with even more shelves and rails. Stay organized and enjoy mornings that run like a well-oiled machine! Two additional bedrooms on the lower level in the basement each provide a queen-size bed, Roku TV, and a desk and chair providing additional private work spaces. Two additional full bathrooms - one on the main floor and one in the basement mean less waiting in the morning when everyone has somewhere to go at the same time. Both include a combination tub/shower. A lower-level laundry room adds the convenience of a full-size washer and dryer, plus a nice long countertop with a built-in sink, storage below, and a place above for hanging garments. Basement Den We’ve saved the best part for last! The lower level of this home is fun central – a space where all ages can unwind. One large room has been divided into two separate living areas. On one side, you’ll find an inviting turquoise expanding sofa for an extra napping area with a built-in chaise within a large open space that’s perfect for kids to play. There’s lots of shelving here for stowing toys, games and books. On the other side of the room, a deliciously inviting L-shaped sofa sits opposite a large Roku TV with a surround sound system, and a top-lifting coffee table (for additional workspace area). Here’s where movie nights happen! In the corner, a mini kitchenette provides a full-size refrigerator/freezer and a small countertop with a sink. No need to go upstairs for your evening snacks, ice cream, and beverages. If you’d prefer to make this your wine bar, there’s also a wine refrigerator and a fully stocked wine glass holder mounted on the wall. Outdoor Living Stepping outside onto the patio, you’ll find a wonderful furnished area with a fire pit and a propane grill, plus a free-standing umbrella for optional shade. (There is also a covered portion of the patio.) Enjoy perfectly charred burgers in the fresh Rocky Mountain air, or gather around the fire pit on a cool evening with cozy blankets and mugs of cocoa. There’s also a grassy area for play, and an idyllic corner given over to a hammock. Bring a book or your daydreams. The yard is fully fenced. Before heading back inside, you’ll notice a door that leads into the garage, where a work-out area has been set up with a variety of exercise equipment, including free weights. There’s also a workbench that may be useful to hobbyists. Hotel-grade linens are professionally laundered after every visit.

Due to the lack of humidity in the area if the thermostat is lowered below 68 degrees it is possible that it can freeze the unit if it is working too hard. Unfortunately, it will take 24 hours for the unit to defrost before an HVAC specialist can service it. Our evenings are generally cool in the summertime, simply opening the windows will provide extra natural coolness.
