This 2015-built ranch in Augusta Pointe delivers something increasingly hard to find in Castle Rock: true one-level living with room to grow, and a private back yard on a quarter-acre lot backing to the Plum Creek golf course. The main floor holds 1,885 finished square feet under ten-foot ceilings, rising to eleven-foot tray ceilings in the dining room and primary suite, while a 1,870 square foot unfinished walk-out basement waits below with 8 foot ceilings, daylight windows, and a bath rough-in already in place. The gourmet kitchen sits at the center of the open floorplan with granite countertops, a large island, and a full GE stainless suite including a 5 burner gas cooktop with exhaust hood and double oven, joined by an LG French door refrigerator, glass tile backsplash, under-cabinet lighting, pull-out cabinet shelving, a butler’s pantry with sink, and a walk-in pantry. Off the family room and its gas fireplace, a sliding door opens to an approximately 12 by 25 foot Trex deck with trellis and removable canvas awning, positioned to take in views of the abundant wildlife that frequent the greenbelt rather than a back fence. The primary suite carries the same deck access through French doors and pairs a 5-piece bath, soaking tub, and walk-in shower with built-in bench with a generous walk-in closet. A second main-floor bedroom with walk-in closet, a full bath, and main-level laundry complete the living space, and the attached 2-car garage comes finished, insulated, drywalled, and lighted. Sprinklers front and rear, central air, and a smart thermostat handle the practical side, with a professionally managed HOA covering grounds, trash, and recycling. From here, downtown Castle Rock’s shops and restaurants, Philip S. Miller Park, and I-25 are all minutes away, placing Denver and Colorado Springs within equal reach inside Douglas County schools.
