Our Home
7-bedroom, 6-bathroom home on three levels. Main (ground) floor includes spacious kitchen, dining and living areas, plus separate mother-in-law suite (with its own sitting room, bedroom and bath.). There are five bedrooms on the upper level, including a beautiful master suite with city views and extra-large luxury bathroom and a separate "mother-in-law" suite with its own bedroom, bath, living room and kitchenette. In the basement are two additional bedrooms, bathroom and kitchenette, plus a large den/TV room. Our home also has a large, fenced backyard that faces open space, with a covered deck that offers a view of Denver, and is perfect for enjoying in the afternoon and evening. Home includes washer and dryer, and three-car garage. Our home is very family-friendly, and we are able to include car seats and cribs if desired. We can also help connect you with our favorite local babysitters!
Our home has a lovely and airy kitchen, with refrigerator/freezer, dishwasher, microwave, dual oven, gas range, etc. There is a large television in the downstairs living area, with home theatre speakers, cable TV, streaming TV and video (Roku) and CD/DVD (zone 1) player, plus several smaller, similarly-equipped televisions in 3 of the bedrooms. Wireless internet access is available. The home is equipped with central heat and air conditioning, and a gas fireplace.
Children and dogs are welcome; smoking is acceptable outside only. Several pets live in the home - we will kennel them during our travel, but the house may not be suitable for those with severe pet allergies.
Car exchange: we are open to exchanging cars so that you can tour the area easily. Public transportation is also available.
