Designed for relaxed mountain living, the home welcomes you with warm, inviting spaces throughout. The main level features a cozy living room anchored by a fireplace, while the bright south-facing sunroom creates the perfect four-season retreat, complete with a new pellet stove for warmth and ambiance. The spacious main-level kitchen offers abundant storage and pantry space and flows seamlessly into the dining area, which opens onto a newly refinished back patio—ideal for outdoor dining beneath the trees. A main-level guest bedroom accompanied with a newly remodeled ¾ bath provide comfortable accommodations for visiting friends and family. Upstairs, the private primary suite invites relaxation with a full bath where you can soak in the tub while enjoying sweeping views of Mount Princeton. A walk-in closet, an additional bedroom with its own private half bath, and a versatile office or bonus room provide flexible space for family, guests, remote work, or hobbies.
A heated two-car garage connects through a convenient laundry and mudroom—perfect after a day exploring the mountains.
The beautifully treed lot offers both privacy and peace of mind, with extensive recent fire mitigation already completed. Additional highlights include a newly paved circular asphalt driveway, a storage shed for outdoor gear, and a durable Decra stone-coated roofing system engineered to withstand extreme weather conditions.
Whether you're soaking in nearby hot springs, exploring endless hiking and hunting opportunities, or simply enjoying the quiet beauty of the Arkansas Valley, this exceptional property offers the ideal Colorado mountain escape.
