If convenience to local amenities is high on your list of "must haves," then this delightful ranch in Lafayette should be on your short list. Only a stone's throw from Coal Creek Trail, local shopping/dining spots, Ryan Elementary,  Angeline Middle and Centaurus High School and town center, the home also offers a painless commute home from Boulder. After your local excursions, you'll return to the traditional look and single-floor ease of ranch home living, in the popular Centaur Village development. Out front, the driveway has ample room for visitors' parking. Rear fencing heightens the sense of privacy in the backyard. Both the front and back porches are open-air for maximum breeze flow. As pleasant as it is to linger on either one, the interior features exert an irresistible pull. For residents of this home, the daily luxuries include newer high quality laminate flooring (entryway and kitchen), stylish lighting, sunlight, neutral colors, open floor plan, and a wood burning fireplace in the living room. The kitchen -- stylish and newly updated -- is in the popular island configuration, maximizing workspace and flexibility. The layout includes premium appliances. The primary bedroom is a great place to start and end the day. The other bedrooms, all rich with closet space, are distributed throughout the house for privacy, and ready for someone to make them their own. An attached garage makes unloading the groceries easy. The finished basement, with the convenience of a full bathroom, is currently serving double duty as rec room and guest sleeping quarters. It can easily be reconfigured to suit your vision. You're going to feel great waking up here every morning.
