Black Forest, CO 80908

A rare Colorado prairie “Cottage,” infused with “bigger isn’t (necessarily) better” Susanka design principles and, though it may not match your first notion of “not-so-big” (because it’s Not About the Size, but Quality and Livability), the design maximizes the usefulness for daily family living. This home is designed for you. For the way humans actually live, as opposed to the way we imagine ourselves, living formally and impressing people. It’s about the way a house “feels.” Think of it as feng shui for comfort, durability, conversation, ease of upkeep. Exceptional build quality. Window placements capture archetypal Pikes Peak views and bounce light into the rooms. All long vistas in the house are end lit to draw you in. The act of entering a house is important, it sets a tone; this home welcomes you with stunning views, peaceful calm, and light; because biologically, humans are programmed to walk towards light. It has uncommonly outstanding views, backs to a large fenced cattle range/watch large cows meander past your fence, built atop artificial hill, arguably the best lot/ best road loop in the subdivision, property lined with birdhouses, landscaped for ease and interest by Master Gardeners, decks/porch on all sides to hide or seek sunlight, cypresswood decks last longer, Potters room with dog wash/deep sink, pet nooks, coffee bar, and bakers’ area/electronics. The home has nooks for puzzles/instruments/offices/video games, window seats for reading or sipping hot drinks, “Away” room, storage galore, 3-car garage built exceptionally wide to keep the car doors from slamming into each other/walls. Not in the forest but extensive landscaped trees positioned for privacy, hedge rooms, cobbled paths wrap and flow around the house, house fan, central vac. New/newer roof/stucco/flooring/toilets/pressure tank/switch/boiler/appliances/induction oven. Radoned, septic pumped, rough-plumbed walk-out basement, refinished decks, separate dining/living great room
