One bedroom is graced with the authentic family crest of the legendary Colorado statesman, George Stephan, on its ceiling! The main level flows into the large family room, formal dining area and a picturesque bay window that was originally designed as an acoustics music room. The appeal of this home continues as you step into its spacious library, with an immaculate 100+ year old, hand crafted Quarter-Sawn Oak bookcase. Be sure not to miss the touch of color and glamour the elegant Queen Tiffany light fixtures and stained glass dormer windows have to offer through this time honored home.
