The main level features the classic Colorado stone fireplace, centered in the Great Room and easily enjoyed from the open kitchen and dining area. Beautiful tiled floors span the entire main level. The spacious kitchen features custom cabinetry, a large pantry and stainless appliances as you’d expect in home of this quality. The cozy main level master bedroom features an en suite bathroom with double sinks and a walk in closet. A beautiful set of open tread wood stairs leads you to the upper level, which features a grand loft area, large full bathroom, two additional bedrooms, and an office/flex space. A big bonus on this floor is a partially finished storage area, measuring approximately 9 ' x 20’ and complete with hardwood floors.

A mechanical room/workshop is located on this level as well, lending to extra storage and perfect for keeping the handyman in the family busy. Just a few of the upgrades in this unique home include (but certainly aren’t limited to): a professional grade retaining wall that spans the entire length of the fully asphalted driveway, custom rock walls in the front and the back of the house adding interest to the natural scape of the forested 1.5 acres, multiple covered porches and a range of deck spaces that offer incredible outdoor areas for entertaining or relaxing. Functionally speaking, heat systems have been added underneath portions of the roof to help with snow management in bigger winters, there’s a large fenced dog run for your furry children, and a darling outdoor shed was constructed to match the main house, which could be used for storage, a garden shop or even a children’s playhouse. An easy to overlook and expensive upgrade in this home was the conversion from propane to natural gas. The attached two car garage makes getting groceries and goods to and from the car easy, and the large, asphalted driveway pad has plenty of room to turn around or park extra cars. There are not many rural homes that offer this kind of quality craftsmanship, size, acreage and proximity to public lands…. with central water and natural gas. If you are an experienced Buyer patiently waiting for that special Colorado mountain home to present itself at the right price, look no further… at under $180/sf, this exquisitely maintained and crafted home will appeal to your good taste and your wallet.
