A charming Colorado cabin with modern upgrades is waiting for you in Forest Lakes. Overlooking Lake Simpatico, the private one acre lot, plus an additional 1+ acre adjoining lot (2.03 acres total) makes this a desirable property. An open living area greets you as wood floors guide you between the living room, kitchen, and dining room. A wood burning stove allows for cozy warmth in the cooler months. Slate black appliances, tile floors, solid maple cabinets, ample pantry space, and a breakfast nook complete the kitchen. The main level offers two sizable bedrooms with a shared bath that's been upgraded. Upstairs, you'll find the secluded and spacious primary suite with cathedral ceilings and an ensuite bathroom with walk-in shower and double vanity. There is a large bonus room that could be a game room, home office, or den area as well as access to attic storage space. The laundry room is also on the main level for convenience. An added, two car, detached garage is ideal for parking, storage, and workspace. The home includes many other recent upgrades including a tankless boiler/water heater, roof, and it is a part of the Forest Lakes central water and sewer system. Landscaping includes natural flora set in the neighborhood's tall pines and gamble oak. Equidistant between Bayfield and Vallecito Reservoir, there are many amenities readily available from stores and restaurants to hiking trails and water sports. This spacious home is a great basecamp for all of your Southwest Colorado adventures.
*Taxable value of land and structures on it ("additions") is determined regularly by local assessors and does not affect market price.
