Say hello to Pikes Peak as it greets you from the front door of this ranch-style home. Framed by 12-foot sliding glass doors at the heart of the great room, views stretch on to Devil’s Head and Castle Rock, and a greenbelt along one side of the lot adds privacy. Well-maintained and improved at every turn, the home still feels new and now offers five bedrooms, three on the main floor plus an office, and two more in the freshly finished garden-level basement. Nine-foot ceilings elevate the light-filled main level from the entry to the great room, where dark wood beams and a gas fireplace flanked by built-ins add warmth and character. The 3-panel sliding glass door opens wide, joining the great room and covered deck with the views as the backdrop. A professionally landscaped yard and concrete paver patio sit below, with a walking trail just behind. The kitchen centers on a huge quartz island with breakfast bar seating, surrounded by black cabinetry against a white tile backsplash, stainless appliances, and a wet bar with a JennAir® wine cooler made for hosting. The eat-in nook has space for a large table with a window drawing in light and views, and around the corner is a pantry, laundry room, and mudroom off the 3-car tandem garage. The spacious primary suite shares the mountain views, with an ensuite behind sliding barn doors. Luxury looks like dual sinks plus seated vanity, a soaking tub, a glass-enclosed tiled shower, and a walk-in closet with custom organization. Two secondary bedrooms share a dual-sink hall bath with a separate water closet and tub/shower, and French doors open to the office. Downstairs, a light-filled recreation room catches distant mountain views. One bedroom has its own ensuite and two walk-in closets; the other works as a home gym, and a large storage room adds room to grow. Minutes from I-25 with easy access to Castle Rock and Castle Pines, it feels like an escape without being far from anything.
