This South Fort Collins (outside city limits!) ranch-style home offers a rare combination of lake views, thoughtful updates, and flexible living space. Lovingly maintained by the original owners, it features vaulted ceilings, hardwood floors, abundant natural light, and an updated kitchen. The main level includes 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, including a primary suite with a bright, naturally lit bathroom. The walkout basement adds valuable living space with a third bedroom, bathroom, large family room, and office or flex space. Brand new carpet, newer exterior paint (2021), and a new roof (2025) add peace of mind. With direct access to the backyard, the basement offers excellent potential for guests, multi-generational living, or a private suite setup. Outside, enjoy mature landscaping, a fully fenced yard, multiple outdoor living spaces, and a 1/3-acre lot – all with No HOA. The heated, oversized garage provides additional storage and workspace. Conveniently located between Fort Collins and Loveland with easy access to I-25 via Carpenter Road, you can’t beat the location.
