enchantingly wander through the yard while one relaxes on the new composite deck finished with decorative black metal railing. The deck is Fiberon not Trex.

Upon stepping into the home there is a wealth of warming natural light from the large windows embellishing the main level. To the right of the entryway is a lovely open concept dining room with new hardwood flooring. Beyond the dining room is a handsome office with an impressive, rustic barn entry door. Throughout, the professionally decorated home has wonderful character matched with sustained elegance. The great room boasts a stylish peaked ceiling, a gas log fireplace and a floor-to-ceiling wall of windows.

The completely remodeled kitchen is a feast for the eyes. From the granite countertops to the knotty alder cabinetry to the copper hand-hammered sink to the granite and travertine backsplash, it truly is a cook’s dream.

Topping it off are the high-quality appliances, including a Wolf six-burner gas cooktop and double oven, Sub Zero refrigerator, Meile dishwasher and coffee bar with sink. The kitchen also offers a walk-in pantry and a large center isle with a dramatic “leathered” black slab granite countertop. The pleasant eating nook is complete with a bay window bench.

The spacious master suite has been freshly painted and has attractive new carpet. The remodeled master bath features dual vanities, heated tile floors, new sinks, huge steam shower, walk-in master closet, glass block windows and a skylight. Two additional bedrooms on the main level are connected by a Jack and Jill bathroom; with one having access to a small patio. Also on the main level is a powder room for guests

and a laundry room with sink and access to the oversized two car garage.

The walkout lower level has an enormous family room that is currently additionally utilized as an exercise space. There is also a three-fourths bath with water closet and large bedroom with ample natural light. The utility room houses new air conditioning, furnace, hot water heater and hot water circulation systems. Additional recent

updates include an irrigation system, security system and landscape lighting.

This luxurious and cozy home, currently listed for $595,000, is an exceptional value, and affords wonderful privacy while being in the distinguished Cheyenne Mountain School District 12.

Conveniently located, the home is close to downtown, hiking trails, dining and shopping in the Springs. This exquisitely upgraded home is a must-see. ■

Eight jobs where you get paid to travel

BY DANIEL BORTZ  MONSTER.COM

We get it. The daily grind in Cubicleville can take its toll — especially on those who love to travel.

The good news: There are plenty of great jobs for people with wanderlust.

And chances are, the younger you are, the more pumped you are to find a job with travel perks.

According to a recent survey by Hipmunk, 38 percent of millennials travel for business, compared to just 23 percent of Gen Xers and eight percent of baby boomers.

So, if you’re looking for work where you get to see the world, consider these eight careers where travel is an essential part of the job.

TRAVEL NURSE

WHY: As boomers continue to age, the national nursing shortage is continuing to grow, according to the American Nurses Association. To fill the demand, hospitals are hiring more travel nurses.

Since these nurses work on a temporary basis (often on 13-week contracts), they have the ability to bounce between hospitals in different cities.

WHAT YOU’D NEED: In addition to having a registered nursing degree, travel nurses must be licensed in each state in which they practice. Most travel nursing jobs also require at least one year of hospital experience in their chosen specialty.

WHAT YOU’D EARN: $32 per hour (roughly $61,600 annually)

ARCHAEOLOGIST

WHY: While some archaeologists are permanently

stationed at a museum, laboratory or college, many spend the bulk of their time doing fieldwork — collecting and studying artifacts at historic sites and then presenting their research at conferences or publishing their findings in trade journals.

WHAT YOU’D NEED: You typically need a master’s degree or Ph.D. in archeology. A master’s program takes on average two years to complete and includes field or laboratory research.

WHAT YOU’D EARN: $61,220 per year

ATHLETIC SCOUT

WHY: Colleges employ full-time scouts to discover and recruit talented high school athletes. These jobs typically involve traveling to cities across the country throughout the year for on-the-ground scouting.

WHAT YOU’D NEED: While education requirements vary, you typically only need a high school degree. When hiring for this position, college coaches and pro team coaches focus more on finding people who were athletes or have some type of athletic coaching background.

WHAT YOU’D EARN: $31,000 per year

MANAGEMENT CONSULTANT

WHY: Also referred to as management analysts, management consultants advise managers on how to make their organizations more profitable by identifying areas to cut costs or ways to improve efficiency. Consultants often cycle

Six reasons to clean off your desk

BY CATHERINE CONLAN  MONSTER.COM

If one of your New Year’s resolutions was to be more organized, then now is the perfect time to reclaim control of your workspace and ensure everything is in its place.

Being well-organized has a host of advantages in your career, starting with these six.

Disorganized employees may even take over common spaces, such as a table in a conference room, because their desks are so cluttered. You don’t want to be that person.

IT MAKES YOU LOOK MORE PROFESSIONAL

If you are dealing with sensitive information, leaving it sitting around on your desk can put you or your company at risk. “Stacks of visible papers cause privacy concerns in many industries, particularly healthcare,” says Melissa Gratias, owner of MBG Organizing Solutions in Signal Mountain, Tennessee.

“One HIPAA violation can cost you $50,000.”

Having a tidy desk projects an image of competence, says professional organizer Seana Turner. We’ve all seen that co-worker’s desk scattered with dirty coffee cups, food scraps and mounds of clutter.

A professional person takes pride in his or her appearance, whether it’s your outfit or your desk. Try to look at your desk from an outsider’s perspective and think about what it says about you.

IT MAKES YOU MORE EFFICIENT

Knowing where things are keeps you on top of your game. “People who pile paperwork often obscure items underneath the stacks, resulting in wasted time trying to find what they are looking for,” Turner says.

Filing things where they belong creates less surface clutter; and ensures you know where they’re at when you need them.

IT ENSURES YOU HAVE ROOM TO WORK

Many projects require dealing with multiple items, such as your calendar, phone, reports, books, studies and so on, Turner says. “Even in the digital age, much of our work is conducted through or with physical supplies,” she says. “A functional desk will have clear space where these items can be spread out and referenced.”

IT HELPS KEEP SENSITIVE INFORMATION SAFE

IT KEEPS YOU ON TASK

It’s difficult to prioritize your projects if you’re not organized. A messy desk is overwhelming and doesn’t tell you where to start, says professional organizer Thalia Poulos.

“Using paperwork strewn on the desk as an unprioritized visual tickler file needs to be replaced by a prioritized written list as the road map for calm productivity.”

IT KEEPS YOUR SUPPLIES IN ONE PLACE

Any interruption can throw you off your game, and if you’re always getting up to find something you need, it’s difficult to concentrate on your projects, says professional organizer Amanda LeBlanc.

“There are many studies showing that once a person gets up from something they are working on to look for supplies, they are much less likely to return to what they were working on when they left,” she says. “Acrylics bins or drawer organizers are great for storing supplies and keeping them easily accessible and visible.” ■

between clients, so they travel frequently for work.

WHAT YOU’D NEED: A bachelor’s degree is required. Since management consultants can work in a variety of sectors — such as government, engineering, banking and health care — a degree that relates to your chosen field will make you more marketable to employers.

WHAT YOU’D EARN: $81,320 per year

EVENT COORDINATOR

WHY: Event planners organize meetings, conferences and company retreats in any number of industries. Because they need to visit prospective meeting sites and venues, event coordinators spend a lot of time traveling.

WHAT YOU’D NEED: Most event coordinator jobs require a bachelor’s degree. Experience in the hospitality industry is a bonus to employers.

WHAT YOU’D EARN: $46,840 per year

FLIGHT ATTENDANT

WHY: If you love to travel and don’t mind working odd hours, consider becoming a flight attendant.

In addition to providing passengers with food and beverages, flight attendants are responsible for ensuring the safety of everyone onboard. One caveat: You may have to deal with some difficult passengers while staying calm and courteous.

WHAT YOU’D NEED: Attendants must receive training and certification from the Federal Aviation Administration. Most airlines also require at least

a high school diploma.

WHAT YOU’D EARN: $44,860 per year

TRAVEL AGENT

WHY: In order to provide quality service to vacation planners — including arranging transportation, lodging and admission to activities — travel agents must be familiar with the venues and services they sell. Therefore, they often take trips to scout out potential hotels, restaurants and attractions.

WHAT YOU’D NEED: Most travel companies require agents to have a high school diploma.

Sales and customer service skills are crucial.

WHAT YOU’D EARN: $35,660 per year

GEOSCIENTIST

WHY: Many geoscientists travel to remote parts of the world to study physical aspects of the earth, such as its composition, structure and processes.

They analyze everything from rock formation and ocean water circulation to gas and oil deposits and environmental cleanup. They often split their time between the outdoors and their laboratory or office.

WHAT YOU’D NEED: Entry-level geoscientist jobs typically require a bachelor’s degree in geosciences, geology, physics or a related field of study. If you’re looking for a high-paying research position, however, you’ll likely need a master’s degree or Ph.D. WHAT YOU’D EARN: $89,700 per year ■
