Three private bedroom suites with dedicated baths offer comfort and privacy for discerning guests.
Designed for entertaining and private retreat, the home offers an open, light-filled floor plan with generous gathering spaces throughout. The main level features a spacious family room with surround sound and large-screen TV, a formal dining room with wood burning fireplace, and a beautifully appointed chef’s kitchen with bar seating. A Kawai baby grand piano anchors the living space — a guest favorite and perfect for intimate evenings in.
A main-level bedroom with en-suite marble walk-in shower provides privacy and convenience without stairs — ideal for guests seeking main-floor comfort.
Upstairs, the primary suite includes a five-piece spa bath with jetted soaking tub and private balcony. A third bedroom with dedicated bath is also located on the upper level.
A sunroom opens to outdoor lounge seating and a fire feature, creating a cozy winter setting under the Colorado sky.
The lower level includes a second family room, queen sleeper sofa, fitness room, and laundry.
The home is thoughtfully arranged to inspire conversation and connection. Multiple gathering spaces — including a family room, sunroom, and second lounge in the lower level — provide generous seating for groups while still allowing space to retreat.
Outdoors, several intimate areas invite relaxed winter evenings around the fire feature or summer dining under the maple tree or at the original flagstone table. A natural gas grill and built-in stone dining table make entertaining effortless, while three French doors open to extend the living spaces seamlessly outdoors.
For quieter moments, the sunroom offers a peaceful reading nook, and curated bookshelves throughout the home reflect its heritage — including a cherished early edition passed down through generations. An armoire stocked with classic board games adds to the home’s welcoming character.
For those balancing work and travel, 1GB high-speed internet with secure WiFi 6 ensures seamless connectivity.

Wonderful stay. Beautiful home and perfect location.
The photos don’t even do this lovely home justice. Cozy and comfortable with a great location. Host was generous, welcoming, and communicative. Hope to visit again!
Unbelievably charming house and host. Was the perfect site for us to enjoy a family vacation to beautiful Colorado- the trails in Boulder and a short drive to Estes Park / Rocky Mountain National Park
We stayed here for a long weekend with our adult children — it was the perfect home base. The entire house is comfortable, clean, and spacious; communication and checkin/out were easy and smooth; kitchen was well-stocked; welcome snacks and drinks were waiting for us when we got there; tons of outdoor space for hanging out in the back; the location was amazing—would stay again in a heartbeat. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home!
