The Space:
Welcome to the penthouse of an upbeat, multi-unit building distinguished by colorful Southwestern exterior details.

While the building’s other units are lined up side-by-side on the parking lot, your unit enjoys a sense of separateness and privacy perched on the rooftop with its own exterior staircase at the rear of the building.

At the top of the stairs, you’ll find yourself on a wide wooden deck with a breathtaking mountain view! Outdoor padded seating for four allows you to enjoy meals, cocktails or coffee against a majestic backdrop.

Enter the unit through a cheerful blue French door and step into a bright, friendly living space furnished for relaxing and entertaining. A plump, inviting L-shaped sofa faces a fireplace and a large wall-mounted Roku TV. Behind it, a dining table for six is nestled into a corner of picture windows that takes maximum advantage of the view. In another corner, a colorful, rustic bar stands ready to serve libations or a breakfast buffet.

To reach the kitchen, you’ll pass through a cozy multi-purpose space that can serve as a home office or napping nook. A large, adjustable standing desk and chair are placed beneath a mountain-facing window, and behind it, a lounging/sleeping area is built into the wall with tempting cushions and pillows where you can read or dream.

Moving into the kitchen, you’ll find additional mealtime seating with a counter-height round table and four stools. The cooking area is well laid-out and provides plenty of cabinet space and a U-shaped countertop as a work surface. Enjoy the use of a full-size refrigerator/freezer and range with cooktop and oven, as well as thoughtful extras like a coffee maker, electric tea kettle, toaster, a set of chef’s knives, an assortment of specialty cooking utensils, and a hand-held mixer for whipping up Sunday morning pancakes.

Both bedrooms are tastefully decorated with contemporary furnishings and artwork that hints at the character of the Rockies. The larger of the two has a king-sized bed, double closets, a ceiling fan and a dresser. The smaller of the two bedrooms offers a great mountain view with a full-sized bed, closet, and a ceiling fan.

The bathroom provides plenty of storage beneath an extra-wide countertop, plus a linen cabinet and a combination tub/shower.

Hotel-grade linens are professionally laundered after every visit.

This home is managed by a local vacation rental specialist, and there’s a sense of quality and care that’s worthy of your 5-star review.
