Colorado City Escape

Sitting at an elevation of one mile above sea level, Denver, aka the Mile High City, offers a fusion of the great outdoors and urban sophistication. The nearby Rocky Mountain ski slopes are reason enough to visit this Western metropolis, but perhaps it’s the city’s thriving art scene, craft breweries, and four major sports teams that keep visitors coming back time and time again.

Nestled in the trendy River North Art District (RiNo), this 1800 square foot custom-built duplex was built to enjoy easy indoor-outdoor living. Wood-clad siding adds a welcoming touch to the entryway of this modern three-bedroom, three-bathroom home, whose interior is adorned with muted tones. A spacious mudroom greets you upon entrance and guarantees ample storage for your ski and snowboard gear.

As you make your way through the main level, you will uncover an upscale, farmhouse-chic kitchen sporting a monochromatic color scheme with white shaker cabinets, charcoal soapstone countertops, and ceramic grey subway tiles. High-end stainless steel appliances and an elongated kitchen island allow you to cook and entertain simultaneously. The open floor plan continues past the dining room table and brings you to a well-lit living room with a tufted sectional and wall-mounted flatscreen TV. Slide open the glass doors for alfresco breakfast or lounge on the patio furniture while the pitmaster grills up lunch on the BBQ.

When you need to reset and recharge, there are three luxuriously dreamy bedrooms waiting for you. The master offers a king-sized bed, a flatscreen TV, and a ceiling fan for those who prefer a little white noise as they drift off to sleep. Its bathroom is spacious with a spa-like walk-in shower and dual vanity. The two guest rooms are well-appointed with queen beds and modern furnishings, guaranteeing a comfortable stay. This home also features a spacious office room that can double as a fourth bedroom with a queen-size inflatable mattress and extra bedding. During the day, you can use the space for a heart-pumping workout on the coveted Peloton bike.

While you're here, spend time with the vibrant flora at Denver Botanic Gardens or hanging with your favorite animals at Denver Zoo. See what the local chefs are serving up at the restaurants in Larimer Square and wash it down with a cold one at any of Denver’s top breweries, brewpubs, and taprooms.
