Explore on foot: • Cafes, restaurants, and art galleries: Seconds away • Sunwater Spa: 6-minute walk • Intemann Trailhead: 8-minute walk • Manitou Incline & Barr Trail: 15-minute walk Guest access Driveway parking (1 space) by the main entry and upper lot parking (2 spots) are both large enough to accommodate trucks and SUVs, but the upper lot's gravel driveway and parking spaces are tight. Ingress and egress require some care. Ask the owner about a free residential street parking pass if you are uncomfortable with the idea of upper lot parking and/or need more space for a large vehicle or a trailer. Guests have exclusive access to the entire main house, back porch (up to the high fence), front porch, and grounds between the upper entry and the circular gravel drive. Entry is designed for your convenience, with a flat, stair-free path from the front concrete driveway parking space directly to the front door. Home entry from the gravel upper parking drive and lot area is easy, with just three steps up to the covered entryway. There is a King Bedroom on the first floor with a shower, a shared first-floor bathroom, and a half-step up entry from the back patio (flafstone and pavers). There are three Bedrooms upstairs, one en suite with a shower stall, one en suite with a full bathtub/shower combo, and one with a shared full bath/shower combo and a skylight.
