About This Home

Welcome to what might be the most thoughtfully designed two story home Meritage has ever built. The study on the main floor is immediate upon entry - it is light and bright with lovely French doors. The beautifully appointed gourmet kitchen has an abundance of storage in tall, white cabinets with striking gold hardware. A gas range, new Bosch dishwasher, and two ovens (one convection) complete the kitchen. There is plenty of space for a large kitchen table and chairs, and it flows easily to the outdoor patio. Barbecue with family and friends on your completely covered deck. Upstairs there is a huge, comfortable loft for movie nights, a playroom, or a space for teenagers. The primary bedroom has a beautiful five-piece ensuite with soaking tub and TWO walk-in closets. The other two bedrooms share a full bath; however, each has its own private sink. The garage is a three-car tandem which provides ample space to park oversize vehicles or store outdoor items. It was recently finished off with drywall, paint, a hose spigot, and an attractive, low-maintenance epoxy floor. The mudroom, workplace with desk and drawers, and large walk-in kitchen pantry are convenient to the garage. The garden level basement gets plenty of natural light and is waiting for your design plans. The home has a tankless water heater, high-end furnace, and two air conditioners for year-round comfort. The yard is well-maintained, beautifully landscaped with perennials that are individually irrigated, and a gardener’s dream space. Located minutes from Southlands in Aurora and Mainstreet in Parker, you are in the best area for shopping, music, shows, and restaurants. DIA is 20 minutes north on E-470. The neighborhood has so much to offer with a brand-new clubhouse, pool, park, regular community events. There are miles of walking and biking paths throughout Inspiration with stunning mountain views and occasional wildlife sightings. Enjoy life in Douglas County and make this your new forever home.
