This unique modern home was designed for your vacationing pleasure. Surrounded by a year round cascading stream, towering cottonwood trees, and mammoth boulders, this house truly brings the outdoors inside. You'll never guess that you are less than 2 minutes to downtown Manitou Springs, 5 minutes to Old Colorado City, and 10 minutes to downtown Colorado Springs.
This is the ultimate vacation getaway!
The home features three story windows and gives the perception of living in a tree house with a green tree canopy in the summer, gold leaves in the fall and views of Pikes Peak in the winter. The master bedroom offers a relaxing retreat complete with king size bed, walk-out roof top deck with chaise loungers, fireplace, Asian style pocket doors, and walk-in closet. You will never want to leave the spa style 5-piece master bath with a stand-alone European tub, rain shower, dual sinks, exposed steel beam, modern tile and custom concrete touches. The other bedrooms all include queen size beds with high-end pillow top mattresses and feature contemporary furniture and fixtures. The upstairs bathroom offers a modern vessel sink and jetted tub. The downstairs bathroom is equally as unique and has an integrated two tone concrete sink with fiber optic stars that twinkle over a mountain range when you wash your hands. The commercial style kitchen is fully equipped to make cooking at home a pleasurable experience. You'll find stainless steel countertops and appliances, hanging pot rack, glass cook top, and modern cabinets. There are two primary dining areas - one indoors and one on an outdoor cantilevered dining deck - both of which allow you to enjoy the stream year round. Downstairs you will find a TV / game room with lounging couch, fireplace, and foosball table. This recreation room walks out into the private backyard which features a hammock and steps that spiral into the stream. Your stay in this home will be unforgettable.
