Very nice, comfortable house for me, my son and his wife while we stayed to welcome my daughter's new baby. Nice location for walking and all the amenities one could wish for. Our only suggestion would be to add more lights in the sitting room and library.

Thank you Martha. We are so glad you enjoyed your time in Denver welcoming your new grandchild to the family. We appreciate your suggestion and have added some reading lights in the front room.
