Property Description

Looking for a home that doesn't just check every box—it redefines what those boxes should look like? Well, look no further! An unbeatable location that sides and backs to a greenbelt give this home ideal privacy. An oversized covered front porch greets you and the open-concept main level boasts soaring ceilings, abundant natural light, and a flowing floor plan that makes everyday living feel effortless. The kitchen is a true culinary showpiece, outfitted with gorgeous quartz countertops, an oversized island, under/over cabinet lighting, double ovens, gas cooktop and a huge pantry. For entertaining, the kitchen is open to the family room and large dining area allowing everyone to gather easily. Don't miss extras such as a double sided fireplace, custom woodwork accents and the gleaming hardwood floors! Don't miss the serene Primary retreat with custom closet organization, and a luxurious 5 piece bath. There are two additional bedrooms and a nice shared 3/4 bathroom on the main level, plus a functional laundry room. If you've ever dreamed of a basement that functions as a true extension of your living space, prepare to be impressed. The full kitchen that makes it perfectly suited for hosting or serving as a self-contained living area for multi-generational families. The basement offers a wealth of versatile space that can be customized to fit your lifestyle, the possibilities here are truly endless. Outside, you will find a perfectly situated covered back patio complete with a TV for entertaining and a hot tub to enjoy the stunning Colorado evenings. The low-maintenance yard has 1 year old turf and a large upper seating area to enjoy sunsets year round. There is a built-in dog run and multiple gates to make access to the yard and surrounding trails. The oversized 3 car garage comes with abundant overhead storage and a freezer. Oh, and significantly lower taxes than surrounding neighborhoods! This home is truly stunning and turn-key.
