My parents are buying a new house in Golden - closing is planned for Feb 26. It's not exactly what they want, but they plan to use it as a place to let them get a better feel for life in Colorado and to have extended stays during which they could do house hunting. It's a bi-level - the main floor looks like the 2nd floor from the outside, and there's a bedroom/bathroom in the basement (the windows at ground level). Here are some external pictures I took on Feb 23rd. This house was a short sale, and there some things that need some love and some that need work to bring it up to code.
Here are pictures their realtor, Pat, took on December 7th.

Here is the bedroom in the basement:
hot tub, which we will be finding a home for, since they don't want it:
back yard. There's no door from the garage to the house, since the level of the garage is in between floors. You can
go through the front or come out the back door and go up these stairs to the deck.

Feb 23rd: I started at Mike's parents' house, which is around the corner. This tour
will turn east and go down the street to the house.
