Tucked against open space with mountain views, this original-owner Highlands Ranch home offers a rare combination of privacy, flexibility, and opportunity in one of the area’s most desirable locations in the Southridge Crossing neighborhood. Freshly painted throughout the interior, the home features an inviting layout with abundant natural light, spacious living areas, vaulted ceilings, a cozy gas fireplace perfect for chilly Colorado nights, and a versatile loft with sweeping mountain views that could easily be enclosed to create a third upstairs bedroom, if desired. The vaulted primary suite features an ensuite bathroom and creates a bright, peaceful retreat, while the finished basement adds valuable additional living space and includes a 3rd bedroom with egress windows and a large adjacent storage space, creating a flexible setup for guests, hobbies, or a private office retreat. Outside from your spacious covered deck, enjoy Colorado sunsets, mountain views, and the peaceful backdrop of open space (Backcountry Wilderness Area) with walking trails right behind the home…the perfect spot for entertaining your family and guests. The 3-car garage includes a Level 2 EV charger, and seller-owned solar panels add energy efficiency and long-term savings, offering both convenience and functionality for modern Colorado living. While many of the lifestyle features are already here, the home also presents an incredible opportunity for a buyer to personalize and update over time while building equity in an exceptional setting. Conveniently located near trails, parks, shopping, dining, and Highlands Ranch amenities, this is the kind of home that rarely comes along…a scenic setting, flexible floorplan, and room to make it your own for years to come. *Major system updates: Furnace 2018 (cleaned/serviced 9/2025), Roof 2016 w/ 5-year roof cert as of 5/2026, New Windows & Pation Slider 2017, Basement completion 2016.
