Tucked into a large Dakota Ridge lot, surrounded by views, and moments from outdoor recreation, this home is Colorado living exemplified. Fresh paint and hardwood floors imbue the home in a light and bright motif that is amplified by open-concept living, dining, and kitchen spaces. Built-in shelving flanks a fireplace as walls of windows douse the home in natural light. A dedicated office, hidden behind French doors, overlooks the covered front porch. The primary suite is a showcase of elegance with a tray ceiling, a spa-inspired five-piece bath, and private balcony access with a backdrop of foothill views. Flexible for extended living, guest quarters, or recreation, the lower level is a versatile retreat. Thoughtful landscaping and privacy fencing enhances the serenity of a backyard escape. Just out the front door, access to trails, neighborhood parks, and open space await, balanced by unparalleled proximity to urban amenities such as restaurants, shops, art and cultural hubs. This home is certified "green built".
