While looking for space where their active family could expand, these homeowners turned to Black Forest, with trees that remind them of their Indiana years. A stunning Pikes Peak view underscores how fortunate they are to live in Colorado. This home features classic nods to the owner’s French heritage while embracing a thoroughly of-the-moment Colorado lifestyle. Priorities for these homeowners included blending outdoor and indoor spaces wherever possible with generously proportioned windows and doors, porches, patios and balconies.

A gracious lime-washed brick entry punctuates a simplified white stucco and black-frame-windowed exterior with traditional

rooflines. Dramatic open spaces on the main floor comfortably accommodate the everyday activities of this busy family of four, while

providing for welcomed visits from family and friends. A functional, open kitchen is designed for serious cooking, a butler’s pantry for

staples, and serveware storage and dining spaces that effortlessly host after-school snacking to multi-course meals. A main-level,

Peak-view office comfortably supports working at home, complete with a beer cave and tasting nook for hosting fellow aficionados

after work is done. Guests will find comfort and privacy in a ma in-level guestroom suite or sleepover fun in the built-in bunks of the

expansive over-garage bonus room.

This home is a true collaboration that blends the homeowner’s long-held vision of their ideal home brought to life by the builder’s vision

and design/build process that achieves something truly…Warm and welcoming in the Forest.
