Open space runs along the side of this end unit, filled with mature pine, aspen, and native grasses, so the windows on that side open to natural light and a Colorado view instead of a neighbor's wall. It is an outlook the interior units do not get.Inside, the kitchen, living room, and primary suite all sit on the main floor, along with the laundry, the pantry, and the attached garage. The whole rhythm of daily life happens on one level, which is the part most people do not realize they want until they have it. A gas fire place anchors the corner of the living room, and a concrete patio off the back adds the outdoor space.Upstairs, an open loft overlooks the living room, bright and open, ready to be an office, a reading spot, or a place for guests to land. Two more bedrooms, two walk-in closets, a built-in bench seat with storage, a linen closet, and a separate storage area mean there is a place for everything. The upstairs bath has a newly installed shower.Together it adds up to the best of both worlds: the convenience of a condo with thespace of a three-bedroom home.Vista Ridge keeps things easy, with paved sidewalks throughout and a nearby stop onEstes Park's free seasonal shuttle. The Blue Route runs every half hour from 9 in the morning to 9 at night, daily from July 1 through August 31 and on weekends September 5 through 27, a free ride into town without moving your car. You are inside Estes Park here, minutes from downtown, the Riverwalk, and the road into Rocky MountainNational Park. Whether this becomes full-time mountain living or the place you have been picturing for weekends, it is an easy home to settle into. Reach out when you are ready to see it in person.
