About this home

Elevated Colorado Living with Pikes Peak Views! Thoughtfully updated and beautifully positioned on a corner lot within a quiet cul-de-sac, this inviting District 20 home offers an exceptional blend of modern comforts, mountain views, and outdoor living. Major improvements completed in 2024 include a new furnace, air conditioning system, Class 4 roof, water heater, and rear composite deck. A new front composite deck was added in 2026. Offering 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and a 2-car garage across 1,922 square feet, the home features an open-concept interior that seamlessly connects the living room, dining area, and beautifully updated kitchen. Quartz countertops, an expansive island with seating, a new gas range and overhead microwave, soft-close cabinetry, and convenient pull-out pantry shelving combine style with functionality. A skylight enhances the natural light, while a charming sitting area beside the window frames views of Pikes Peak. The spacious primary bedroom, updated bathrooms, upgraded windows, and newer flooring and carpeting contribute to the home’s comfortable, refreshed feel. Downstairs, the garden-level family room offers a warm and inviting retreat, complete with a wood-burning fireplace, wet bar, and convenient half bath. Outdoor living takes center stage with composite decks and an expanded patio, offering multiple spaces to unwind or entertain against a Colorado backdrop. A dedicated irrigated garden plot, established berry bushes, and new backyard sprinklers appeal to gardening enthusiasts, while fresh front-yard xeriscaping enhances curb appeal. The spacious backyard, storage shed, and double-gate access provide added versatility for outdoor equipment and recreation. The oversized, finished garage features fresh paint and abundant storage, offering both functionality and flexibility. Ideally located near scenic trails, parks, and District 20 schools, with convenient access to shopping, dining, and I-25, this home offers an appealing combination of thoughtful improvements, inviting spaces, and the Colorado lifestyle.
