Charming, thoughtfully designed neighborhood centered around connection and community, with alley-load garages, an impressive neighborhood park, walking trails and inviting front-porch living. This west-facing home enjoys neighborhood open space directly across the street, along with mountain views. Enjoy the ease of patio-home-style living as the HOA maintains landscaping outside the fenced yard and provides snow removal. Inside, you’ll find a main-floor office, spacious kitchen with large island, stainless-steel appliances and granite countertops, plus an open layout ideal for gatherings and entertaining. Additional highlights include high ceilings, central A/C, fireplace, engineered hardwood floors, iron-rail staircase, generous walk-in closet and five-piece primary bath, with private water closet. The finished basement provides valuable additional living space with great room, bedroom and full bath. Approximately $87,000 in original builder upgrades included the premium homesite, finished basement, upgraded staircase, engineered hardwood flooring, fireplace, extended front porch, upgraded lighting, ceiling fans and closet shelving. Approximately five minutes to both I-25 and Old Town Fort Collins, yet peacefully removed from through traffic and active construction. NO METRO DISTRICT-an increasingly valuable advantage in northeast Fort Collins. Compared with nearby communities carrying metro-district levies of approximately 25-55 mills, this may represent roughly $80-$170 per month in property-tax savings on a similarly valued home.
