The Space:
"Always Somerset" is a warm and inviting escape, offering everything you need to enjoy COS. Bring the whole family, including your pets, and spread out in this spacious split-level home with six bedrooms and three baths. With multiple gathering spaces, sun-drenched outdoor areas, and many convenient amenities, you may never want to leave! If you do decide to explore the city, you’ll be centrally located just blocks from UCCS and enjoy short drives to many local attractions.
Pull up to the large driveway and enter the impressive 2,000+ sq ft space. The split-level foyer gives the option to go downstairs to the basement level or upstairs to the living room, kitchen, and first two bedrooms. Hang your jackets on the coat rack or take off your shoes on the bench before heading to one of the main areas. Upstairs, you'll find a roomy, light-filled family room with a large sectional, a flat-screen TV, and an electric fireplace heater for extra warmth.
The open layout leads to the dining room, featuring a large 8-person table. The big windows provide second-story views and create tons of natural light. The dining table is set with placemats, plates, and utensils, ready for your meals. The kitchen, adjacent to the dining room, is fully stocked with stainless steel appliances and meal-prepping essentials. Coffee lovers will appreciate the mini coffee bar with a coffee machine, coffee grounds, mugs, and sugar.
Down the hall from the kitchen is the first bedroom, which has a king-sized mattress, a TV, and plenty of storage. The second bedroom on this floor is similarly equipped, with a mounted TV, bedside tables, and a dresser. Both rooms are decorated with charming touches and fresh linens. A third bedroom on this floor has an en-suite bathroom with a shower/bath combo, a king-sized bed, a vanity dresser, and two closets.
The lower level of this home features three more bedrooms and two bathrooms. A second family room is furnished with futon couches, a 70-inch TV, an ottoman, and a table with chairs. A stove fireplace with a brick mantel adds a cozy touch. There’s also a sliding door that leads to the outdoor patio. The downstairs bedrooms are similarly styled and equipped with all necessary amenities. One bedroom has a king-sized bed, a TV, and a private entrance through a slider. The other two bedrooms have queen-sized beds and closet space. A full bathroom is attached to one of these bedrooms, featuring a walk-in shower and washer/dryer unit with laundry essentials. Another full bathroom with a walk-in shower and large vanity completes the downstairs.
Access the outdoor spaces through one of the slider doors on the lower level or down the stairs on the side of the house. The backyard is designed for enjoyment in sun or snow, with a grill and an outdoor dining table. Despite the home's central location, it feels private and secluded from neighbors. Let your dogs run around the fenced backyard without any worries of them escaping. Additional chairs are provided so your whole group can enjoy the outdoors together.
This home also features multiple gathering spaces, ensuring everyone has a place to relax. The large sectional in the upstairs family room is perfect for watching TV or enjoying the view from the large windows. Downstairs, the second family room with futon couches and a stove fireplace is ideal for game nights or cozying up by the fire.
Each bedroom is thoughtfully designed to provide maximum comfort. The main bedroom upstairs has six windows for plenty of natural light and a king-sized bed for a restful sleep. The second bedroom is equally comfortable with its own TV and stylish decor. The third bedroom with an en-suite bathroom offers added convenience and privacy.
The lower level continues to impress with three additional bedrooms, ensuring everyone has their own space. The second family room's futon couches can be used as extra sleeping spaces if needed. The private entrance in one of the bedrooms downstairs allows for added convenience and flexibility.
In summary, "Always Somerset" offers a cozy and spacious retreat with modern amenities and a central location, making it an ideal choice for families and pet owners looking to explore COS while enjoying the comforts of home. This inviting home provides everything needed for a memorable stay, from fully stocked kitchens to multiple family rooms and sun-drenched outdoor spaces. Whether you're gathering around the dining table for a meal, relaxing in the family room, or enjoying the backyard with your pets, "Always Somerset" is designed to be your perfect home away from home.
