Set beside open space with sweeping mountain views, this beautifully maintained 3-bedroom home with a private office/den and 2.5 baths offers a rare combination of views, privacy, and like-new condition. The bright, open interior features 9-foot ceilings on the main level, luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout both levels, and additional windows that bring in an abundance of natural light. The kitchen is designed for both everyday living and entertaining, with quartz countertops, 42-inch upper cabinetry, soft-close drawers, stainless steel appliances, and a generous center island. Just off the main living area, French doors open to a dedicated den that works beautifully as a home office, playroom, or flex space. Upgraded stair railings add a polished architectural detail to the home's clean, modern design. Upstairs are three spacious bedrooms along with excellent storage throughout the home. Beyond the garage, additional storage can be found in the under-stair closet and large accessible crawl space. An additional parking space adjacent to the garage provides even more convenience. The outdoor setting is truly special. A newly landscaped backyard and new deck back directly to open space, creating a peaceful place to take in expansive mountain views, passing wildlife, and even hot air balloons drifting across the Colorado sky. The extra-wide, west-facing front porch provides another perfect spot to enjoy the evening and watch the sunset over the mountains. Located in Boulder County and within the highly regarded Boulder Valley School District, the home offers easy access to downtown Erie, Lafayette, Boulder, nearby parks and trails, shopping, dining, and everyday conveniences. With its exceptional setting, beautiful finishes, thoughtful storage, and meticulously maintained condition, this home delivers the Colorado lifestyle in a location that is hard to duplicate.
