This is Colorado living at its finest. Sunlight pours through huge windows into the open-concept living space with dramatic vaulted ceilings, hardwood floors throughout the main level, and a cozy fireplace for those snowy Colorado nights. The gourmet kitchen features slab granite countertops, a gas range, stainless steel appliances, and 42" maple cabinetry. Head downstairs to the additional living space, which offers a second fireplace, tons of natural light, and works perfectly as a rec space or playroom. The private 4th bedroom works well for guests or can serve as a quiet home office. The unfinished section of the lower level (800+ sf) is perfect for storage or can be finished to create additional living space. Sip your morning coffee or entertain your friends on the spacious back deck with stunning mountain views, or watch the sunset on your front porch in the evenings. Have a green thumb? Then you'll love the wraparound-garden. Mature fruit trees, a raspberry patch, and strawberry beds. This summer's crop of garlic, lettuce, spinach & snow peas has already been planted for you! The semi xeric landscaping of the front yard and automated watering system provides year-round low maintenance. This Markel floorplan is Built Green/Energy Star rated and also comes with a rare oversized 3-car garage with plenty of room for your extra toys. You won't find a better location! Nestled in the highly desirable Lyons Valley Park neighborhood, this home is in the perfect location. Just two blocks from Lyons Middle/Senior High School, you can stroll to downtown Lyons or enjoy a quick commute to Boulder or Longmont. Welcome home.
