Property Description

Welcome to this meticulously maintained and thoughtfully upgraded residence tucked at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac with breathtaking La Plata Mountain and private box canyon views. Beautifully cared for by the same owners for 14 years, this custom home offers 2,687 square feet of living space with three bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms, and a spacious family room. Situated on a premium 0.531-acre lot, the property combines privacy, mountain views, and carefully designed outdoor living. The interior features new French oak 30-year floors, fresh paint throughout, and abundant natural light from high-quality wood-clad double-pane windows and sliding glass doors. The spacious living and dining rooms showcase vaulted ceilings, a decorative gas fireplace, gallery-quality LED lighting, and seamless flow to the kitchen. The chef’s kitchen is equipped with stainless steel appliances, including a gas range with double oven, granite countertops with bar seating, a pantry, under-sink reverse-osmosis, recessed and under-cabinet lighting, and a custom-built-in breakfast nook filled with morning sun. The main-level primary suite offers vaulted ceilings, a walk-in closet, and private deck access to the hot tub. The en suite bath includes a double vanity with granite counters, a jetted tub with granite surrounds, and a Thermasol steam shower with a built-in bench. Two additional bedrooms, one currently serving as a private office, along with a powder room, guest bath, and well-designed laundry room with new flooring, solar tube, folding space, and abundant storage, provide comfort and functionality. Upstairs, a versatile bonus room features a custom beetle-kill pine accent wall, media wiring with surround sound, dedicated storage closets, and sweeping mountain and canyon views. A detached outbuilding adds another 324 square feet and is currently finished as a gym and spin studio with rubber flooring, a programmable heater, and large windows for natural light. This bonus space provides flexibility for fitness, hobbies, or a workshop. This home is designed with efficiency and comfort in mind.
