But I feel a little alone on that one. Last week I surveyed ya'll about what kind of in-person meetups you'd find fun. Thank you for the responses! And for the alternative ideas. Shout out to crew member Uri for suggesting we **all go camping together** \- a very strong idea that I'm now scheming on. Speaking of *scheming* \- I've been working on having some **Jeffco Crew hats and shirts** made. ![](https://jeffcocrew.com/content/images/2025/04/jchat2.png) This is a directional mockup, not *exactly* what we'd do, but [click here if you'd have some interest in wearing this kinda stuff](https://jeffcocrew.com/voted/) around town. Okay let's get to it. --- ## ๐Ÿก Looky Loo Where I poke around our local real estate market to highlight fun finds - great deals, astronomical mansions or killer mountain cabins. Today we snoop around inside this updated [5BD, 5BA Morrison home hitting the market at $1.75m](https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/6491-Crestbrook-Dr%5FMorrison%5FCO%5F80465%5FM21498-39684?ref=jeffcocrew.com). It's on 1.4 acres in a beautiful neighborhood.

The interior gives some great sight line vibes: [![](https://jeffcocrew.com/content/images/2025/04/image-2.png)](https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/6491-Crestbrook-Dr%5FMorrison%5FCO%5F80465%5FM21498-39684?ref=jeffcocrew.com) Indoor/outdoor livin' vibes. Our next virtual breaking & entering is out in Conifer, a [5BD, 4BA home on 10 acres](https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/12672-Rancho-Ct%5FConifer%5FCO%5F80433%5FM24484-20528?ref=jeffcocrew.com) with view that should cost a lot more than the $1.4m they're asking. [![](https://jeffcocrew.com/content/images/2025/04/image-3.png)](https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/12672-Rancho-Ct%5FConifer%5FCO%5F80433%5FM24484-20528?ref=jeffcocrew.com) Someone find these folks a staging company, right? You can see like a thousand miles. The house needs a warmer presentation - it doesn't look lived in - but make it homey and this is a spectacular spot.
