Ideally positioned atop a private ridgeline in one of Arvada’s best-kept secrets, this extraordinary 2.168 acre property offers a rare opportunity for Colorado living at its most breathtaking. Sweeping 360-degree views span the mountains, city and surrounding open space, while the horse friendly setting provides exceptional privacy, no HOA, and direct access to miles of scenic trails. Thoughtfully remodeled, this ranch style home blends warmth and modern style with vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, hardwood flooring and expansive windows. The light filled open concept design flows from an inviting family room with gas fireplace into a beautiful kitchen featuring a generous island with breakfast bar seating, pantry, premium appliances and abundant workspace. The spacious primary suite offers a peaceful retreat with glass doors to a private balcony, walk-in closet and an en suite full bath. Two additional beds provide flexibility for family, guests or a home office. More than 1,500 SqFt of unfinished walk-out basement space, currently accessed from the exterior, offers extensive storage and exciting potential. Create an interior connection, finish the lower level, expand the footprint or reimagine the property as a larger custom acreage estate. Outdoor living shines with spectacular sunrises from the front porch, an expansive deck, covered patio, plus a fire pit beneath endless skies. An insulated outbuilding, chicken coop, oversized garage and ample parking add functionality, while the expansive site offers room for horses, gardens, hobby farming, future barn or other improvements. Bordering protected open space on a quiet cul-de-sac, this peaceful retreat feels secluded but just minutes to shopping, dining, Jeffco schools and the Apex Center. More than 65 miles of interconnected trails and neighborhood parks offering hiking, biking, horseback riding and year-round recreation. Convenient access to Golden, Boulder, downtown Denver and the mountains. See Virtual Tour.
