Solar Ridge features large lots, architectural distinction, and friendly neighbors. This custom home opens to a passive solar gain foyer that leads to a spacious main level where hardwood floors are bathed in natural light from the many windows. Upstairs, the roomy family room space provides an entrywayto three large bedrooms. The primary bedroom balcony is a welcome area of respite. Outside is WOW! Imagine the solitude of your private oasis, where mature trees, shrubs, flowers abound. Backing to a green space, the privacy of this yard is exceptional. This home begins with a large multi-window foyer, apassive solar feature that catches the warmth from the bright, low winter sun on sub-zero days. Sip a cup of tea in this sunny space when it's 10 degrees outside and never hear the furnace kick on. And when the sun goes high in summer, the eaves shield the open rooms. Now picture a second floor with no halls to cut it up! Upstairs begins with a sitting room ready for a big screen TV, family game room, or artist studio. With hardwood floors, northern light and views of the backyard, this inviting space serves as a threshold to three large bedrooms. The primary bedroom with its cathedral ceiling and skylight opens onto a tree shaded balcony, a private place to sit and breathe when day is done. Spring begins a season of visual bounty that continues to unfold over summer and fall. So let the inside conversation flow out the back door to the patio and its ideal space for grilling and entertaining. Populated by birds and bees, the back yard is home to mature trees (linden, maple, ash, oak, blue spruces, ponderosa pines), shrubs (lilac, snowmound spirea, sage, blue star juniper, cistena plum), a privet hedge, andflowers. Backing onto a well-maintained community green space, this lush and private yard is remarkable. Inside and out, upstairs and down, this home stands as a sunny, fragrant, creative place to live and prosper. A great home in a great neighborhood!
