So close to downtown

When we first entered the home, we were awestruck by so many different things that we just kept saying “wow” over and over. This is a really beautiful house. The longer we stayed, the more details we noticed and appreciated, particularly in the décor and architecture. The most striking things about the house are the multitude of windows and all of the decorative glass and lamp pieces throughout the three levels. It’s a bit like staying in an art gallery. A couple of my favorite items are the antique doors and stained glass above them that separate the master office and dressing room. The master suite, especially the master bath, is fantastic. The huge plasma TV in the master bedroom was a pleasant surprise. The view over downtown towards the mountains is really lovely, and the natural light and the views of nature throughout the home are really spectacular. We spent one whole day without leaving the house and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We ate a couple of meals out on the deck, spent some nice leisurely time listening to music on the iHome system while sitting in the sunroom playing games with our daughter, and enjoyed the large TV and open space in the main living room playing games on our Nintendo Wii that we brought with us. The kitchen was well equipped for our needs and we also used the gas grill on the rear deck for one of the meals. Waking up to the lovely green trees that surrounded the master bath was really something and my 3 ½ year-old daughter told her teacher that her favorite part of the trip was taking a bath in the master bath’s Jacuzzi tub. This is really saying something, considering one of the major reasons for our trip was to go ride on Thomas the Tank Engine. The home was very clean and we appreciated being able to park our car in the garage. The driveway is about what you would expect, given the street view photo of the property, and is typical of any home with a mountain view like this. There is an area along the driveway for turning around, so that you don’t have to back out onto the street, which is nice. The property owner was easy to work with and we never had any problems with the house. We were appropriately informed about whom to call if we did run into any problems. We hope to stay in this property again during future visits and would recommend this property to most anyone. The stairs are a bit steep and may make parents of small children a little nervous with the open riser spacing. Otherwise, this home is phenomenal!
