Beautiful, spacious 2-story in the prominent Retreat at The Hearth. A rare opportunity as homes in this upscale subdivision do not come on the market often—with access to miles of walking, biking and hiking trails in Daniel's Park and Backcountry. Set amongst mature trees and gorgeous residences, the curb appeal is beckoning and the welcoming front porch is an enticing invitation. Inside, a panoramic display of sunlight, plantation shutters and dark oak flooring sets the tone. The kitchen is truly the heart of this home. An enormous island anchors the room—perfect for gatherings. Designed with all the modern finishes—white cabinetry, quartz counters, large stove hood, stainless appliances, and gorgeous lighting—it overlooks the casual dining area with picture windows and a 3-sided gas fireplace. The exterior is just as wonderful as the inside. A comfortable deck with pergola and stone fireplace is a serene retreat or perfect for summer dining/entertaining. The family room corresponds to the overall design with custom built-ins and the 3-sided fireplace. For more formal occasions, a generously-sized living and dining area as well as a guest suite with 3/4 bath is also located on the main. Office area, a lovely powder room and mud room also reside on this level for convenience. The wrought-iron staircase flows gracefully upstairs to the alluring loft. The master suite features a gas fireplace, 5-piece bath and 2, large walk-in closets. 3 more charming bedrooms, plus a bath and large laundry area are also on the upper. The thoughtfully finished basement keeps entertainment and practicality at the forefront. Hardwood floors set the stage for a large media room (with built ins/gas fireplace), gaming, a generous bedroom, bonus room (office, gym, playroom, crafts) and tons of storage. Highlands Ranch community enjoys 4, state-of-the art rec centers, wilderness area and miles of trails. Near shopping, dining and entertainment. Privacy, luxury, convenience–The Retreat.
