Not too late to wrap up the year in a mountain home, and this one feels like it came pre-tied with a ribbon. Bright, inviting, and thoughtfully reimagined, this 3 bed, 2 bath ranch sits at the end of a peaceful cul-de-sac while keeping you moments from downtown Estes Park, Lake Estes, the 18-hole course, Rocky Mountain National Park, and miles of trails that seem to wander off into forever. Inside, the great room greets you with vaulted ceilings, new white oak hardwood floors, and daylight that pours in as if it knows it’s welcome. The kitchen is built for cooks and gatherers alike, blending granite countertops, custom cabinetry, a generous island, and stainless steel appliances-including a brand-new sink, countertops, oven, range, microwave, and dishwasher. The private primary suite offers its own quiet corner, complete with an oversized soaking tub that whispers “stay a little longer.” Fresh interior paint and trim, five new windows, and a striking entry door with sidelights give the home a crisp, elevated feel from the moment you arrive. Outdoors, it’s pure Colorado living with a wraparound deck and covered patio ready for lingering meals, elk sightings between the pines, and stargazing sessions that stretch past bedtime. The .3-acre lot provides privacy and just the right amount of trees to feel you are in the woods, yet your favorite coffee, cocktails, boutiques, and local bites are only minutes away. Beautifully updated and effortlessly welcoming, this home is ready for full-time living, long weekends, and everything in between.
