The front entrance to this Colorado home is welcoming with its bright gardens, and warm rock and pine steps. All the while, you know that you are within walking distance to the Animas River. The large entryway above the front door foretells of the expansive interior within. As you look at the lengthy wraparound porch, you can only imagine what views it must offer from the interior. Entering your home, you can immediately see very rustic, pine-lined and framed windows, and baseboards. A large entryway closet is perfect to store your many guests’ coats and jackets. Nearby, a welcoming powder room is conveniently located. The walls here are ivory, beautifully-textured, and freshly-painted. The tan carpeting is new throughout, and ready to claim your tired soles. A bedroom on the first floor affords you beautiful, wooded views and convenience. Upon exiting this room, a spacious utility closet houses a Bradford White Energy Saver hot water heater. This room also contains a convenient sink and cabinets. Moving on, you are taken into a virtual pine “cathedral” that is the Great Room! Huge natural posts are here and line this room throughout. In this great room, there is a stunning rock, floor-to-ceiling fireplace that both warms and relaxes you on a blustery winter day. There are perfect views of nature outside from every angle in this room, and all the other rooms as well! The large, gorgeous vaulted pine ceiling caps this wonderful Great Room! The kitchen is complete with a lengthy breakfast bar, and all new stainless steel appliances! From here, you can walk out onto your huge deck and private Jacuzzi nearby. Enjoy your summer breakfast looking at the great outdoors. The fine wooden trim above the kitchen has delicately-painted with ivy and berries on it; this trim moves through the great room and follows along the stairs going up. Upper level: the space opens to a bedroom with a “shared” vaulted ceiling (between/throughout the rooms). Dark bronze wall sconces adorn the hallways and light your way. There is a long balcony, the entire length of the great room, from which you can take in more views, and also to move room to room. Sunny skylights greet you in these spacious bedrooms. The master bedroom overlooks gardens, and the mountains and valley below. There is a large walk-in closet, perfect for storing all of your excess garments and treasures. Breezy, wooden fans throughout your home keep you cool and refreshed in the summertime. As you find your way to the oversized 2 car garage, you are surprised to see yet another room with a southwestern-style bathroom; colorful tiles glitter its bath and shower area. When the magnificent outdoors beckon you, you succumb and move outside. Here, there are several raised garden and flower beds, a sandbox (which can easily be converted to another flower bed, if you desire), and a large, carefully-crafted wooden shed. Your land extends out in all directions, to a total of 4.7 roomy acres . Pinion and Juniper trees both surround and beg you to stay and play. You may take a leisurely stroll down to the Animas River later. Your horses are welcome here also. Say YES to this cozy piece of natural wonderland!
