Find home in the country with just enough legroom from the house next door, yet minutes from town. Wake up to birdsong and fresh air, stretch your legs on a well-maintained private cul de sac road. Work from home or retire at ease. Watch the evening sun set through your trees while relaxing to the crackle of the fire-pit. With favorite companions, or in absolute solitude, this custom home offers fullness of lifestyle so often sought and so seldom found. The original garage was finished to create a large recreation room and a new attached garage added (with a step-down attic access), by a prior owner. Over about the last 2 years, a new furnace, and central air have been installed, as well as vinyl plank flooring in the living and dining rooms, exterior siding stained, and recycled metal wainscoat added. Irrigation was also just re-piped and updated for efficiency. Mature trees grace the acreage with shade and vistas, and there are 2 fenced meadows, plus a mostly fenced side yard. Drip irrigation has been newly installed to keep the kaleidoscope of perennials happy. The front stone-wrapped entryway has been expanded and sun-shaded. There are 2 additional stone-wrapped patios and a very private covered deck with built-in seating... lots of outdoor living spaces preserve the nature connection. Downward exterior lighting: Just picture the starry night skies! Soaring windows in the 2-story living room stream light and display Mesa Verde and Sleeping Ute mountain scenery from both the main and upper story of this well-designed, 2 x 6 construction floor plan. Corian countertops and custom wood cabinetry dress the kitchen and bathrooms in quiet style. A five-burner gas range, wall oven, pantry, and ample counter space are smartly arranged for time-saving in the kitchen. Upstairs, each bedroom has its own bathroom, and while one bedroom has a 5 piece bathroom with under-mount jetted tub, walk-in shower, a step-down attic access in the walk-in closet, and expansive vanity built-ins, the other has a walk-out to a covered balcony overlooking a grand southerly view of Mesa Verde. The third bedroom, on the main floor, has built-ins which could make it useful as a craft room or an office. It does not have a built-in traditional closet, but it does walk out to a stone-wrapped patio with sunshade through a patio slider.
