Beautifully transformed with extensive recent updates, this Big Thompson Canyon home combines thoughtful craftsmanship, modern functionality in an exceptional natural setting. The fully remodeled kitchen is a standout, featuring leathered granite countertops, solid maple cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, double wall ovens, a ducted hood, porcelain tile backsplash, updated lighting and wide-plank 3/4-inch solid maple flooring. The inviting living room retains its mountain character with a wood-burning fireplace surrounded by natural moss rock, while the former attached garage has been thoughtfully reimagined as a spacious entry mudroom and separate laundry room. Multiple levels and outdoor living spaces-including covered balconies, an uncovered porch and a wood deck-provide numerous places to enjoy the forested canyon surroundings and views toward the Big Thompson River below. The property backs directly to Roosevelt National Forest, providing immediate access to thousands of acres of public land, while high-speed Pulse internet adds an important modern convenience. Conveniently located near the junction of Highway 34 and County Road 43, the property sits approximately halfway between Loveland and Estes Park-just 13 miles from Estes Park and 16 miles from Loveland, with the entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park approximately 16 miles away. This beautifully updated home offers an uncommon combination of craftsmanship, recreation, accessibility and connection to the natural surroundings of the Big Thompson Canyon.
