Say hello to Pikes Peak as it greets you the moment you step inside this ranch-style home. Framed by 12' sliding glass doors at the heart of the great room, views stretch on to Devil's Head, Castle Rock, and a greenbelt along one side adding privacy. Well-maintained and improved at every turn, the home feels new and now offers 5 bedrooms, 3 on the main floor plus an office, and 2 more in the freshly finished garden-level basement. 9' ceilings elevate the light-filled main level from the entry to the great room, where dark wood beams and a gas fireplace flanked by built-ins add warmth and character. The 3-panel sliding glass door opens wide, joining the great room and covered deck with the views as the backdrop. Sunshades add extra shade. A professionally landscaped yard and concrete paver patio sit below, with a walking trail behind. The kitchen centers on a huge quartz island with breakfast bar seating, surrounded by black cabinetry against a white tile backsplash, stainless appliances, and a wet bar with a JennAir wine cooler made for hosting. The eat-in nook has space for a large table with a window drawing in light and views, and around the corner is a pantry, laundry room, and mudroom off the 3-car tandem garage. The spacious primary suite shares mountain views, with an ensuite behind sliding barn doors. Luxury looks like dual sinks plus seated vanity, a soaking tub, a glass-enclosed tiled shower, and a walk-in closet. Two secondary bedrooms share a dual-sink hall bath with a separate water closet and tub/shower, and French doors open to the office. Downstairs, a light-filled recreation room catches distant mountain views. One bedroom has its own ensuite and two walk-in closets; the other works as a home gym, and a large storage room adds room to grow. Smart features include motion sensored lighting and Google Nest security camera. Minutes from I-25 with easy access to Castle Rock and Castle Pines, it feels like an escape without being far from anything.
