Completely updated from top to bottom, this home strikes the right balance of warmth, style, and modern comfort. The crisp white exterior, wood accents, and a well-kept lawn set the tone before you even step inside. A versatile front room welcomes you, ideal as a home office, music room, or reading space. The updated kitchen features grey shaker cabinetry, dark butcher block counters, stainless appliances, and a sunny dining nook that opens to the backyard. The main living area centers around a wood-burning fireplace that makes this house feel like a true home. Upstairs bedrooms each have their own mini-split system, a genuine rarity in LaPorte where most homes lack air conditioning, offering year-round personalized comfort. Additional mini-split units on the main level keep every room exactly where you want it. The lower level primary bedroom is a comfortable retreat, with the added convenience of same-level laundry. Both bathrooms have been refreshed with modern vanities and clean, timeless finishes. Outside, a fully fenced backyard on nearly a fifth of an acre offers real breathing room, complete with a pergola and storage shed. Solar panels with a backup battery bank keep utility bills low and the lights on. A converted half-garage provides flexible workshop or gear storage space, and the recently expanded driveway handles all your parking needs. All of this sits just 10 minutes from downtown Fort Collins and minutes from Lory State Park, Watson Lake, and Horsetooth Reservoir, some of Colorado's best outdoor recreation, right at your doorstep.
