1109 Van Tuyl Cir, Gunnison, CO 81230

In 2009 only large 3+ bedroom homes were available in the Gunnison market; we only needed a smaller home, well thought out and designed with new and current electrical, plumbing and heating options and up to date fixtures and finishes. The Kanga-Roo Cottage is the result of the project. This home has simple systems; plumbing and electrical, and they demand very little maintenance. Kohler, Delta and Price-Pfister fixtures are installed; the tub is 20" deep for hot baths and has a rain shower head. Tile flooring wraps up the look for the baths and entry. Heat for the home utilizes the sun, the home is situated on the lot so it will never have the southern sun blocked by another structure, rare in a city neighborhood. An England Woodstove, built in Virginia (with great customer support) heats the home quite well in Gunni's coooold winters. The house is cool in the summer without the need for AC or a swamp cooler. There is ample storage throughout the house; perfect for 1 to 3 residents to have plenty of room to enjoy the home and personal space. The back entryway sports a large storage/organization area and closet. The garage is heated and finished with southern glazing as well; plenty of room for an auto and your tools and gear...you know, "garage stuff"... The kitchen is outfitted with GE and Kenmore appliances; reliable and attractive. The fridge is 20 cf because even a small family can FILL a fridge. The Samsung front load laundry duo in Neat Blue, top rated, has outstanding performance and is very energy efficient. Moving outside; the lot is blanketed in Scott's Thermal Bluegrass which is drought and cold resistant, and has had consistent care over the last 6 years. Featured on the Richlawn.com website and Yard of the Week in 2010 with 1107 Van Tuyl Circle. Hardscape with native rock and hardy Zone 2-3 plants add the finishing touches to the landscaping. Small vegetable garden area is in place and well amended. The landscape is established and simple to care for, because we also want to enjoy our mountain lifestyle! We are here to answer any questions about The K-Roo Cottage that you might have; it may be the perfect fit as your new home!
