Imagine starting your morning on your expansive covered front porch, coffee in hand, as the neighborhood wakes up around you. Because the exterior maintenance is handled for you, your weekends are no longer tethered to a lawnmower. Instead, you can "lock and leave" at a moment's notice-perhaps for a quick stroll to the nearby coffee shop or a morning match at the local pickleball courts.Inside, the home is bathed in soft, natural light that pours through oversized windows, highlighting the clean lines of the granite kitchen and the warmth of the gas fireplace. It's a space that feels both sophisticated and effortless.As evening approaches, the community truly shines. You might wander down to the neighborhood pool for a swim or take a sunset walk through the various pocket parks. On clear nights, the working observatory serves as a unique backdrop to your neighborhood, reminding you that you live somewhere truly special. Property comes with a Blue Ribbon Home Warranty and the roof will be replaced prior to closing. Whether you're hosting a summer BBQ on your private patio or enjoying the quiet comfort of your primary retreat, life here is defined by ease, connection, and the freedom to enjoy the best of Northern Colorado. Seller is also including a Blue Ribbon Home Warranty
