Is there a way one can get illustrations of the elevations of the house; and, a floor plan? Might want to do a reduced size variation of the plan if possible.
Looking at a very shallow depth lot, that happens to be on a very wide (long), lot in Colorado. It too is on a small, but active river.
I am a retired Geezer, as well.
Thank you.

Nice house. We're newly retired and after 15 years of wheedling I'm finally getting my wife to see our large, three story house with sunken living room as the unlivable monstrosity that it is. I'd trade with them in a heartbeat.
Where do the grandchildren sleep when they visit?
