This approximately 900 sq. ft. garden-level 2-bedroom, 1-bath residence is strictly limited to two residents total, so you share the home with only one roommate—preserving personal space and everyday privacy.

The residence is located within an owner-occupied, privately owned small multifamily property while maintaining its own separate entrance and completely separate residential living environment.

The home is fully furnished and styled with intentional Kenyan-inspired décor, bringing warmth, color, and character to the space.

A major feature of this home is its no-stairs garden-level access. Unlike many garden-level residences, reaching the home does not require navigating a full flight of stairs.

ABOUT THE ROOM

Pet-Friendly | Furnished Denver East Colfax | Private Garden-Level Furnished Room 

Mara Room is a warm, comfortable private furnished bedroom positioned at the back of garden-level Suite 17B. High-set windows bring natural daylight into the room, while warm tan tones, wood-look LVP flooring, and deep-toned wood furnishings create a grounded private space for sleeping, working, reading, and settling into an everyday routine.

Named after Kenya’s Maasai Mara, the room draws its identity from one of East Africa’s most recognizable landscapes and cultural regions. The Mara is known not only for wildlife and open country, but also for the Maasai people whose traditions, music, community, and relationship to the land are deeply connected to the region.

That story is carried through the room in a striking orange canvas depicting traditional Maasai figures singing and playing instruments, wildlife artwork above the workspace, warm geometric textile accents, and a small Kenyan flag at the desk. Earthy tones and flashes of orange, red, black, and white give the room a distinct Kenyan-inspired character without sacrificing its simple, functional purpose.

There is also something fitting about placing the Mara Room in East Colfax, a Denver neighborhood shaped by many cultures, foods, languages, families, longtime residents, and newcomers. The room reflects that same spirit: colorful, multicultural, humble, practical, and lived-in rather than manufactured.

Who This Works Well For

Shared Living is designed for an accountable, clean, and independent resident with steady, verifiable income who wants a peaceful furnished place to settle in and is comfortable sharing a home with one other independently screened resident.

A good fit is someone who values personal space while respecting that kitchens, bathrooms, living areas, laundry facilities, and outdoor spaces are shared. Residents should be comfortable cleaning up promptly after themselves, participating equitably in routine household upkeep, respecting quiet hours and property boundaries, and maintaining their private bedroom in clean, sanitary condition.

We provide independent furnished housing. Residents must be able to manage their own daily living and household responsibilities independently.

Screening & Residency

• Standardized Screening: We use a standardized screening process to evaluate standard housing qualifications, property fit, and practical shared-living compatibility. Screening includes the Resident Screening & Household-Fit Questionnaire followed, where there appears to be mutual fit, by identity, income, rental-history, and background verification. Government-issued identification is required.
• Residency Terms: Single occupancy per bedroom. One-month minimum stay with month-to-month residency thereafter, subject to the Residency Agreement.
• Household Compatibility: We screen prospective residents for practical shared-living compatibility but do not guarantee roommate compatibility or manage ordinary interpersonal disagreements. Where applicable, an existing resident may provide practical household-compatibility input; final resident-selection decisions remain with us as the housing provider.

Shared-Home Standards

• Residents are responsible for routine household cleaning and cleaning up promptly after themselves.
• Residents participate equitably in a simple resident-managed household cleaning and upkeep roster.
• Private bedrooms must be maintained in clean, sanitary condition.
• Resident belongings must not create unsanitary conditions, pest risks, excessive accumulation, blocked doors, windows, walkways or vents, fire or safety hazards, property damage, or interference with reasonable inspection, maintenance, or repair access.
• Quiet-hours, visitor, smoking, safety, property-care, and shared-household requirements apply throughout the residency.
• To maintain the privacy of all residents and uphold our low-density living environment, overnight guests are not permitted. Visitors must comply with applicable residence and shared-household requirements.
• Shared-Space Etiquette: Shared outdoor areas are available for resident use, while individual entrances, garages, parking areas, and other designated private spaces remain private to their respective residences.
• Pets: Approved cats and dogs only must be housebroken and able to safely coexist with other residents and approved pets in a shared living environment. Pet approval is not guaranteed and will consider household compatibility, allergies, safety, and the existing resident and pet configuration.
• Pet Supervision: Approved pets must remain supervised in shared outdoor areas, and residents are responsible for promptly picking up and properly disposing of pet waste.
• Wildlife: Wildlife and community cats may occasionally be present outdoors. Residents with pets should supervise them while using shared outdoor areas.
• Routine property inspections include both shared areas and resident bedrooms.
• Smoking, vaping, and cannabis use are prohibited inside the residence, garage, and other enclosed areas.
