Most buyers hope to find a home exactly like this one: meticulously maintained, thoughtfully updated, and located in one of the most connected communities in Highlands Ranch. The main level sets the tone with vaulted ceilings, rich hardwood floors, a gas fireplace, and a kitchen that delivers: granite countertops, a gas range, stainless-steel appliances, a pantry with a built-in microwave outlet, and direct access to the large covered deck. A flexible front room works as a dining room, second living area, or both. The spacious main-floor bedroom doubles easily as a home office, and the mud room/laundry with a newer washer and dryer and cabinets keeps everything organized. Upstairs, the primary suite is the retreat it should be: double walk-in closets and a 5-piece en-suite bathroom with double vanity, granite countertops, and a soaking tub. Two additional bedrooms and a full bath round out the upper level. Downstairs, the finished basement adds a bonus room, exercise nook, and a half bath. The oversized 2-car garage has a new door opener and built-in cabinets. Outside, the covered deck and backyard were designed to be enjoyed, not maintained: turf in the back saves on the water bill, a recently updated sprinkler system and new sod keep the front looking sharp, and a newly painted fence and adorable shed complete the picture. Located in Highlands Ranch, known for its access to amazing community amenities: 4 incredible recreation centers with unbelievable features like cold plunges, batting cages, pickleball courts, and more. Eastridge Rec Center is minutes away with sand volleyball, indoor and outdoor pools, a climbing wall, + more. You will be within reach of everything you need, from shopping to restaurants and quick highway or light rail access. Douglas County RE-1 School District: Arrowwood Elementary, Cresthill Middle, and Highlands Ranch High School. When a home is this well cared for, in a community with so much to offer, the decision usually makes itself.
