In the heart of the vibrant Terrain neighborhood overlooking the HOA McMurdo Gulch open space, this fabulous open-concept ranch is what single-floor living is all about with a spacious and flowing well-lit design. Enjoy the silence, lush landscape, and wildlife from the private, covered main floor balcony deck or the flagstone patio below as you won't be spending much time doing yardwork or money watering thanks to the great looking artificial turf and drip irrigation system. The best part? Both are on the east side of the home so you're comforably shaded in the late afternoon and evening when you want to use it. You won't be spending much time shoveling or chiseling ice thanks to the southern sun exposure to your driveway and sidewalk. Want more room? The unfinished basement with open staircase entry doubles the size of the home, including the possibility of two bedrooms with windows overlooking the open space--and whatever else you want to include! In addition to its impeccable condition, there are tons of beautiful finishes and valuable upgrades: 8" plank flooring, coffee brown cabinetry, granite and quartz counters, cabinets and utility sink in the laundry room, stylish white barn door in PBR, door hardware/light fixtures/sink, Nest themostat/doorbell/camera, oversized 50 gallon hot water heater tank, whole house humidifier, and radon mitigation system. You'll enjoy access to 2 pools, a clubhouse, dog park, playgrounds, and trails--all just minutes from downtown Castle Rock or the largest shopping district in town. And all of this in an environment with beautiful natural vistas and wildlife of all kinds. Schools are close-by. The NE corner of Castle Rock feels like it's in the middle of nowhere, but is close to everything Castle Rock offers. Come see one of the very best --the Sellers are motivated, willing to discuss a buy-down for a competitive offer, and the house is ready for possession as soon as you are!
