Check back for more photos on Thurs!** If you’ve been dreaming about mountain living that actually feels like mountain living, this is it. Set on nearly 3 acres just 35 minutes from Downtown Denver, this south facing contemporary retreat sits on one of the best lots in the neighborhood. Big trees. Peaceful setting. Wildlife wandering through. The kind of place where you exhale the second you arrive. Inside, vaulted tongue-and-groove ceilings, oversized skylights, and a dramatic stone wall create warmth and light throughout the main living space. The pellet stove adds cozy charm, making it perfect for everything from holiday dinners to après-ski nights. The fully renovated kitchen is built for serious cooking and gathering, featuring a Vent-A-Hood, Miele steam oven and warming drawer, Wolf gas cooktop, Bosch dishwasher, and Jenn-Air refrigerator and oven. The oversized island anchors the space and invites everyone to pull up a seat. The vaulted family room includes a wet bar, wood-burning stove, and cozy reading nook with views, ideal for movie nights or hosting the big game. Two new Fiberon composite decks extend the living space outdoors with multiple areas to grill, dine, and relax in total privacy. The back deck area feels park like, while the front deck is perfect for wine under star-filled skies. Upstairs, the entire level is dedicated to the primary suite with a newly renovated five-piece bath featuring heated floors and a jetted tub. A main-level bedroom works well as a guest room or office, and two lower-level bedrooms share a bath and walk out to a patio. This home is serene, updated, close to Denver, but a world away. Mountain living, done right.
