Inside, bamboo flooring, butcher block countertops, subway tile backsplash, newer windows, and bright interconnected living spaces create a warm, functional environment. The dining area flows into the kitchen, which leads out to a deck. The kitchen also opens directly into the main living areas, supporting both everyday living and entertaining with ease. The home offers 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms across a layout designed for flow, usability, and comfort.
Major system updates include a newer water heater (2019), A/C and furnace replaced (approximately in 2021), exterior paint completed 2–3 years ago, a new sprinkler manifold, vapor barrier in the furnace, and a new 240V garage subpanel idea for EV charging or workshop use. Leased solar panels helps offset electricity costs at $50/month.
The backyard has been actively and thoughtfully enjoyed, featuring raised vegetable garden beds, two storage sheds, and a separate wired studio shed currently used as a pottery workspace. Whether used for gardening, projects, storage, or creative work, the outdoor spaces offer flexibility without sacrificing openness or views.
Located minutes from Red Rocks, Bear Creek Lake Park, Green Mountain trails, C-470, and Highway 285, the home provides quick access to hiking, biking, mountain getaways, and downtown Denver alike.
