OPEN HOUSE SAT (7/18) 12:30-2:30. Most buyers searching Highlands Ranch are looking for the same thing: space, good schools, a yard worth using, and a home that doesn’t need work the day they move in. This one checks all the boxes, and more! The main level opens with vaulted ceilings and rich hardwood floors, anchored by a kitchen built for real cooking: granite countertops, gas range, stainless steel appliances, a large island, and a pantry. The flexible front room works as a dining room, sitting room, or both, and a main-floor bedroom works equally well as a home office. The main-floor mud room/laundry and 1/2 bathroom make this an ideal floorplan. The living room with gas fireplace is where everyone naturally ends up. Upstairs, the primary suite delivers: double walk-in closets and a five-piece en-suite bath with double sinks, tiled shower, soaking tub and granite countertops. Two more bedrooms and a spacious full bath complete the second floor. The finished basement adds a family room, exercise nook, and half bath; with an egress window and closet, it can easily convert into a natural fifth bedroom or in-law suite whenever you’re ready. The backyard includes a large covered deck that provides real outdoor living space and landscaping that requires low-to-no maintenance. Your storage needs are covered with the two-car garage with built-in cabinets and a storage shed in the backyard. You can rest easy with this meticulously maintained home: updated sprinkler system, new garage door opener, newer washer/dryer, and re-stained fence. Four rec centers with pools, pickleball, sand volleyball, and more; miles of trails, and sports fields throughout. Eastridge Rec Center is less than a mile away. Shops, groceries, and daily conveniences are right there. C-470, I-25, the Denver Tech Center, and light rail keep you connected. Served by Arrowwood Elementary, Cresthill Middle, and Highlands Ranch High School, all around one mile away. Move-in ready, inside and out.
