Layout: One enters the Library Loft via two flights of steps that lead to a South-facing deck that looks on to the range of mountains from Pikes Peak to Cheyenne Mountain. Off the Library Loft foyer and hall on the East and West sides of are two bedrooms, each with its own bed, seating space, closet, ladder, sleeper loft and restroom. At the end of the hallway separating the rooms is a Great Room, which includes a Den (West) and the Kitchen (East), adjoined by a library wall accessible via a ladder.
Bedrooms: Firm beds, soft sheets, warm blankets, central heating, and adjustable ceiling fans make for a reinvigorating night's sleep so you can wake up refreshed and ready for a day of play in Colorado's natural playground. The Library Loft has vaulted ceilings in both bedrooms, in the living room, and kitchen. There is ample natural and artificial lighting in all rooms. Each bedroom also has a sleeper loft space that is accessible by ladder.
Loft rooms: one enters the 3' high sleeper lofts from each bedroom, and the sleeper lofts are open to the bedrooms. A security rail and loft bed position keeps one from rolling out of the sleeper loft. The sleeper lofts also look onto the common room (kitchen and living room) when their sliding doors are in the open position. The sliding doors close along tracks to seal off loft occupants from the common room. Each loft also has a skylight so one can look upon the Colorado sky. The lofts are great sleeper space for additional guests or hang-out spaces for the kids. However, not all adults will be comfortable in these cozy sleeping spaces, and for these we recommend the beds in each bedroom.
Kitchen & Food. The Kitchen is full-service: it features a double oven and stove top, a full-sized fridge, a microwave, toaster, water-boiler, coffee maker, cutting boards, a cutlery set, and all the pots, pans, cooking utensils, glassware, flatware and other accoutrements to make meals at home. Don't want to eat in? Dine out at one of a host of area restaurants--Greek, Italian, French, Asian, Ethiopian, etc.--all within walking distance.
The Den: Relax on the overstuffed leather couch or the comfy wing backed chair, put your feet up, have a glass of wine and gaze into the flames of the light switch-controlled gas fireplace in the Den. There is a 32' Roku TV for times when the family wants to catch a show together on Netflix, explore YouTube, etc.
The Library: the entire North wall of the Library Loft is occupied by windows and built-in bookshelves. Part the cafe curtains to watch the bustle of Colorado Avenue, full of Farmer's market shoppers, window-lookers, Garman Gallery/Magic Town visitors, Simpich Puppet Theater attendees, and restaurant-goers.
Access the game shelves for everything from kids toys, to puzzles, to classic board games, to chess, backgammon, and dice, to cards and poker chips. There are games of all kinds for all ages.
