Some homes are built. This one was curated. Offering 5,075 sq ft with 5 beds and 5 baths, and approximately $317,000 in builder and seller upgrades, this Crystal Valley Ranch masterpiece raises the bar for luxury living in Castle Rock. A grand two-story entry introduces an effortless main-level flow: a private executive study with built-in shelving and French doors, a laundry room, formal dining, and an expansive great room with custom built-in cabinets, an overhead surround sound/whole-house speaker system, and a fireplace that opens to a chef’s kitchen. The kitchen features premium stainless appliances including a $10K GE Monogram refrigerator, quartz countertops, a 5-burner gas cooktop, a generous island, a walk-in pantry, a butler’s pantry/bar, and a breakfast nook with chandelier. Smart lighting runs throughout the house, including color-changing candle lights controlled via the Philips Hue app, with faux stone decorative accents on the main level throughout. Upstairs, a spacious loft features a custom mural of Hanging Lake and a dedicated tech center with a quartz desktop, alongside four bedrooms and an owner’s suite worthy of the name — crown molding, a beautiful chandelier, overhead speakers, a walk-in closet, and a showstopper bathroom with a walk-in spa-like shower and beautiful stone details. The finished basement adds a fifth bedroom, a full bath, a sprawling flex room currently used as a home gym, a bonus room currently serving as the household arcade, two linen closets, and three unfinished storage spaces. Outside, enjoy a wood-burning fireplace, a gas fire pit, a hot tub, and app-controlled Jellyfish permanent exterior lighting for year-round ambiance. The new I-25 onramp off Crystal Valley Parkway means shorter, easier commutes to Denver and Colorado Springs, with historic downtown Castle Rock just minutes away. Assumable VA loan at a 3.5% is an option.
