Gorgeous entertaining space with a huge kitchen, 4-person hot tub, festive game room with a pool table, foosball, tabletop shuffleboard, darts and more. Located at the base of the Rockies in a stunning area of Colorado Springs, moments from the U.S. Air Force Academy. Popular trails, parks & natural wonders are close –many less than 10 minutes!



The Space:

This home has style! You’ll find modern, artsy touches throughout, beginning right at the pistachio punch-card of a front door with its stack of three round peekaboo windows.



As you step inside the front door, you’ll see a room just ahead of you with a door. Inside, you’ll find a deliciously inviting family room with a big, plump sofa with two chaise extensions and an oversized ottoman. It’s just begging you to put your feet up! Just opposite the sofa is a wall-mounted TV, and to the side, a charming wood-burning stove (decorative only). Shelves of family games are also provided. This is a perfect place for kids to hang out while the grown-ups entertain in the main living area upstairs – and you can close the door to close in the noise, too!



Also on this level, an elegantly furnished bedroom with a king-size bed stands just across the hall from a combination full bath/laundry room with a full-size washer and dryer.



Now, this will really knock your socks off: a ground-floor game room with the industrial-chic vibe of a hip lounge. You’re going to love it. This converted garage is festooned with strings of party lights and scattered with seating, including a cafe table surrounded by three chairs, a bar-height table with stools, and a barrel table with seating for two. There’s also a wine storage unit and a bar with cabinets below. But best of all, this room is LOADED with table games! Foosball, billiards and shuffleboard, plus some darts for good measure. This is good time central!



Now, follow us upstairs for the most sophisticated space in the home: a gorgeous open concept room that’s perfect for cocktails, conversation, dining, and watching sports. With its peaked ceiling and wood beams, it gives the feel of a classic mountain chalet, but with a decidedly contemporary slant. Please note that the indoor fireplaces are not for use due to safety precautions.



The huge modern kitchen features an artful mix of sleek pistachio and white cabinetry and high-end stainless steel appliances, including a range and range hood, large refrigerator, microwave and dishwasher. You’ll also appreciate the coffee maker and chef’s knives. A HUGE island/breakfast bar accommodates six handsome leather stools and includes a built-in sink and a wine refrigerator below.



The island overlooks the seating area, where a mix of couches and chairs is clustered around a TV. A floor-to-ceiling stone hearth provides a warm, rustic focal point, dividing the seating area from a dining book with a casual table for four. A glass paneled door leads onto a deck with an outdoor dining table for four and a grill for al fresco meals. Adjacent to the deck, you’ll find a hot tub that accommodates at least four.



This upper level also provides three additional bedrooms (one queen and two king beds), all thoughtfully decorated in Colorado rustic-chic. Each includes a new bed, a closet, and dresser. The last bedroom in the hallway is a king-sized bed suite, incorporating a private bath from behind a sliding barn-style door. You’ll enjoy an extended two-sink vanity and a large walk-in shower with stunning herringbone tile behind a gleaming glass panel.



The other two bedrooms on this level may share use of an additional full bath. The large driveway that sweeps around and behind the home provides space for multiple vehicles.



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.
