There are some homes that simply feel good from the moment you step inside! This Highlands Ranch ranch that backs to open space was designed for light, warmth, and ease. Vaulted ceilings open the main living spaces, fresh paint brightens the kitchen, hallway, dining, and living rooms, and hardwood floors guide you effortlessly throughout the main level and down the stairs to the finished basement. Morning sunlight pours into the kitchen, reflecting off the updated lighting and creating the kind of space that makes everyday moments feel special. Step outside and the Colorado experience unfolds with the backyard bordering open space with direct access to miles of trails, and some mountain views from both the deck and front yard. A pergola casts soft shade over the large deck, making it the perfect place for morning coffee, afternoon gatherings, or watching the colors change at sunrise.  The primary bedroom is a quiet retreat, offering a generous closet and a private bath with a new vanity and walk-in shower. The finished basement extends your living space with a cozy family room and wet bar, a non-conforming bedroom and bath, plus a spacious utility room with laundry - washer and dryer included. Outdoor living comes naturally here. Living in Highlands Ranch means access to beautifully maintained parks and trail systems, Lebsack Tennis Center, Redstone Park, the Highlands Heritage Park, the newer Senior Center, and more - all part of the highly regarded Metro District. Shops, restaurants, and the seasonal farmers market at Town Center are just minutes away, and easy routes to Santa Fe, C-470, and I-25. This is Colorado living - comfortable, connected, and surrounded by the outdoors. Buyer to verify all information.
