“The most challenging part has been living through 5 years of various construction projects”
"My husband and I fell in love with this home over 10 years ago," explained West + Main agent Tiffany Ogle. "We would walk by it daily and dream that one day we would be the owners. Finally, it went on the market in 2019 and we jumped at the chance to put in an offer. The home was outdated and had a heavy Tuscan vibe to it. We have spent the last 5 years renovating it and turning it into our dream home!"
One of the couples' favorite thing about their home is, of course, the location within their Colorado neighborhood because the the views are absolutely breathtaking. They also love their newly updated kitchen, the gym that they use daily, the movie theater for family time, and the fairly rare pool and extensive landscaping in the backyard.
"If we were to do anything over, we would not do the kitchen and backyard at the same time. It was very hard on the family and pets!"
"The most challenging part has been living through 5 years of various construction projects," shared Tiffany. "The kitchen and pool were done simultaneously and took about a year to complete. Having to cook and eat out of our bar area was very inconvenient. We couldn't go out outside in the backyard so walking my three dogs multiple times a day was very stressful."
BEFORE:
The family had never had a pool before in their primary home, but it's definitely a dream come true.
"The backyard was mostly a large putting green, overgrown with invasive plants species and trees," said Tiffany. "We wanted to turn it into our very own oasis. We love to entertain family and friends and we knew if we built a pool it would attract our friends and family year round. With 300 days of sunshine we decided to keep it open year round and we use it more than we imagined!"
AFTER:
"When we knocked down the wall in our kitchen we were left with a awkward load-bearing pole," explained Tiffany. "We didn't want a boring column so we decided to create some type of living art. We love moss walls and wanted to see if it was possible to create one in our home. We used a local Company and had them work with us to design a piece of living art for us."
"This was their first ever residential project and we loved how it turned out. This wall is alive and the hardest thing is not letting people touch it, the oil on our hands will kill the moss. We also had to install a whole home humidifier to keep it healthy. This art piece will last up to 10 years as long as we keep the moisture in our home over 40%!"
