One of the reasons we are returning to Colorado is the Medinas. This couple can do anything, we learned this over a 12 year period. When we bought the condo in 2012 David transformed a little over 1000 sf into the highest per sf sale in all of the condos. We asked David Medina if he were up for doing it again. He was.    So here is what we bought... and I'm thinking you can also see why we bought it. Yes, A River Runs Through It! Fly fishing happens there too, but there have been no sightings of...
