    What's special

    Watch the sun and moon rise from the horizon casting rays of light across the rolling hills and watercolor clouds. See the cityscape glow as the setting sun illuminates the Denver skyline; watch as dusk turns to dark, bringing the mesmerizing twinkle of city lights. The view carries through as the keystone inspiration anchoring the design of this light and bright mountain contemporary home. High ceilings and walls of windows echo the splendor of the awe-inspiring views. Vaulted ceilings throughout with exposed beams and flowing architectural features complete this builder's masterpiece home. Set among towering pines in the highly sought-after Genesee community, this exceptional home offers something rarely found along Colorado's Front Range: breathtaking unobstructed Denver skyline views, remarkable privacy, and easy access to both the mountains and the city. Thoughtfully designed for both everyday living and entertaining, the home features upper-level bedroom suites, high-end finishes, and a remodeled, spa-concept primary suite on the main level. The layout offers the perfect balance of comfort, functionality, and connection to the surrounding landscape. What truly sets this property apart is its view and the location. Though it feels like a secluded mountain retreat, I-70 is just minutes away, providing convenient access to downtown Denver, Golden, the Denver Tech Center, Boulder, and Denver International Airport. Colorado's popular ski destinations, including Loveland, Keystone, Breckenridge, and Winter Park, are all within easy reach. Genesee is one of Colorado's premier foothills communities, offering miles of private trails, swimming pools, fitness facilities, tennis and pickleball courts, and abundant wildlife. Elk, deer, fox, and wild turkeys are frequent visitors, creating a true Colorado mountain experience.
