Welcome to a custom-built beauty in Mesa Meadows! Built by Mark Manley and designed by Sarah Susanka, this home was featured in the first chapter of Sarah Susanka's fourth book, Home by Design, and was designed to blend into its gorgeous mountain setting. The hipped roof with large projecting overhangs, horizontal trim bands and two-story form add a sense of the past to what is very contemporary detailing. The interior is open, spacious, and filled with light and well placed windows through what Sarah refers to as a "Sequence of Places", rather than a typical room to room layout. Throughout the home, ceilings and soffits differentiate one activity place from another, leaving open views through the house and simultaneously providing a sense of shelter and intimacy. White oak hardwood floors, 3 panel solid wood craftsman style interior doors, custom designed stained-glass door and sidelights, and custom hemlock wood trim throughout the house give this home a craftsman style vibe that is truly unique. The kitchen offers Schroll custom cabinets, a massive granite island to entertain guests and family. The main floor living rooms offers spectacular views from every seat. Upstairs floor plan was custom designed to take advantage of the views. With a master suite oasis that opens to a rooftop deck with incredible views, you may never leave. Two other well-appointed bedrooms all w/ views, a Jack and Jill bathroom and a private office with French doors. The front foyer has a separate door to keep the cold air from entering the main part of the house when you open the front door. The back breezeway also has a separate door to keep out car exhaust fumes. The owner had the home moved forward on the lot to allow for an expansive backyard. Nine panel 2.925 KW Solar Array, owned. Mesa Meadows neighborhood offers access to wonderful parks within walking distance. Close to hiking/biking and running trails and walkable to all that downtown Golden.
