After 25+years, this home is now available. Pride in ownership is obvious the moment you step into this southwestern style home. Over the years, the homeowners have created lots of comfortable outdoor venues to make the most of this property's views and privacy. You will want to grab a beverage and spend time on the front and back patios, or the large deck that gets plenty of morning sun and looks out on forests and mountains, or the balcony off the living room. Evenings are lovely on the back patio; you can hear the rushing water from the creek water feature and the fire pit is excellent for entertaining. Natural gas grills are conveniently located on the back deck and front patio. Unique natural flagstones with exceptional color and texture highlight both patios. There is a hot tub on the back deck that looks out at Colorado greenery, and a clear view of the night sky. This 4 bedroom home features main floor living, which can be hard to find. The Great room offers an open flow from the living and dining areas to the kitchen accentuated with a wall of windows and wood-burning fireplace. Large picture windows in the master bedroom bring the forest feel indoors, and offer washes of daylight and views of the night sky. A built-in cabinet for a 50" TV, gas fireplace, 5-piece bathroom with heated floors, walk-in closet, and reading nook create a true master suite escape. A second bedroom and updated full bath complete the main floor. The walk-out basement includes a family room adorned with built-in cabinetry, a woodburning fireplace, spacious dual laundry area, large storage closest with built-in shelving, 2 large bedrooms and an updated bathroom. The Hiwan neighborhood is popular for its proximity to the freeway, the rec center, and Elk Meadow Open Space and just minutes to shopping and restaurants. Neighborhood roads are paved and well-maintained. Public utilities, natural gas, and Comcast super-fast internet make working/schooling at home a breeze.
