The Home
Nestled in Jackson Ranch, Thurston House welcomes you to experience the solace and comfort of this warm and peaceful home.
As you step past the barnwood accented exterior, you enter a refined rustic interior with a barnwood wall and century-old beams
gracing the great room. Durable, luxury, vinyl, tile flooring leads you further in, past a front office with ample sunlight. Relax as you gaze upon the Front Range, through the pines, from the great room - while a wood-burning fire crackles nearby. Continue into the spacious kitchen, complete with custom cabinets and more amazing views. An expansive walk-in pantry gives way to an oversized garage, a builder and hobbyist’s dream space. Steps away from the kitchen, the master bedroom envelops you, providing those awe-inspiring views, while balancing privacy in the pines.
Whether you seek to entertain or to escape, the downstairs of Thurston House delivers. The stairs open to a lounge, complete with a
wood-burning fireplace and abundant screen space, while a wet bar is tucked away for close conversation. Additional bedrooms offer
comfort and privacy for overnight guests. A home gym leads to the privacy of your backyard among the pines, with mountain views to
motivate you.

The Interior Design
Thurston House brings a feeling of warmth, comfort and hospitality. Modern accents elevate your living experience by highlighting the character of century-old, hand-hewn beams and barnwood. A luxurious freestanding bathtub and Euro-style shower in the master bathroom encourage you to relax and recharge in your own spa-like retreat. Energy efficient HVAC and water systems, appliances and windows minimize your footprint. Durable flooring offers stability and longevity, and hand trowel-finished drywall with reclaimed wood accents provide a warm background for your life. The open floor plan lends itself to entertaining, and the views of the Front Range through the pines are enticing. These same spaces also feel private and individual. Whether training in the home gym for your next marathon, building your dream canoe in the garage, or relaxing while you listen to the crackle of a fire in your fireplace accented by those hand-hewn beams, Thurston House is a stunning place to call home.

Introducing the innovative Lakehouse style, designed to inspire with its motivational architecture. This duplex house features massive studio walls, ensuring year-round comfort by keeping the space cool in summer and warm and dry in winter.
Upon arrival, a large screened porch provides a serene view of the lake, setting the tone for relaxation. Inside, the main floor boasts a well-ventilated multipurpose space with a fireplace for cozy gatherings. The spacious kitchen is equipped with a butler's pantry, eating counter, and a screened back porch for enjoying meals outdoors.
The fully furnished bedroom on the main floor offers two large windows for natural light and a walk-in closet for ample storage. A shared bathroom on this level includes a separate bathtub and shower, single vanity sink, and all necessary amenities.
Downstairs, an adorned large space and two additional well-decorated bedrooms await, sharing a bathroom with basic services. With three bathrooms in total and fabulous amenities throughout, this Lakehouse promises residents complete satisfaction and comfort in every aspect of lakeside living.

This image shows the spacious and well-lit home gym, designed with a focus on natural light and an expansive view. The room features wide-plank, wood-style flooring that is both durable and visually warm. The space is filled with light from a large, multi-pane window with black frames, which overlooks a serene lake and the surrounding natural landscape. Additionally, a large sliding glass door, also with black frames, provides a direct connection to the outdoor patio and pool area. The walls are painted a clean white, and the high ceiling has recessed lighting and two modern ceiling fans with black blades. The minimalist design and the focus on the view create a serene and motivating environment for exercise.

One of our favourite rooms to design is a home office with lots of built-in cabinetry. We love finding out just what motivates and inspires our clients who work at home and we relish custom designing the perfect space for them. This office, located just inside the garage door entrance of the home had to double as a mudroom so while one side of the room houses two workstations and a combination of open and closed storage, the other side offers additional closet space for coats and bags as well as a bench for putting on your shoes.

Carruthers Landscaping worked with these homeowners to re-create their outdoor living space. Through design and build, they specified a 10’x10’ manual retractable canopy for their pergola in the Sunbrella motive denim fabric. Lattice walls were installed to define the space and give additional privacy.
