Welcome to this delightful two-story, Writer home with a main level primary suite situated in an established Highlands Ranch neighborhood. Vaulted ceilings flood the open floor plan with natural light. The updated kitchen features granite counters, stainless steel appliances, including a gas range, and ample cabinetry making it a chef's delight. Adjacent to the kitchen, the dining nook offers access to the expansive deck, where you can enjoy the tranquil view of the backyard. A three-sided fireplace serves as the centerpiece of the home, providing warmth and ambiance. The great room, overlooking the deck, offers a cozy spot to entertain guests or watch a movie. For formal dining, a private room at the front of the house is perfect. Or, for the less formal, this room would make a great office or music room. The main floor primary suite is a true retreat with a private five-piece bath that has been tastefully updated and features a soaking tub and a walk-in closet. A half bath and laundry room complete this level. Upstairs, two bedrooms share a full bath with dual sinks and a loft area overlooking the great room works well as a homework hub or reading nook. The finished walk-out basement is a true gem, featuring a huge family room with a kitchenette equipped with all the appliances (except a stove), two additional bedrooms, an updated 3/4 bath, and two sliders that open to the backyard patio. While this level could potentially provide the opportunity for income on its own, it provides comfortable guest space as it is! The private yard and perennials that line the front walk & porch are all maintained by a sprinkler system. The location is just blocks from the highly rated elementary school, Cougar Run, and five minutes to the closest rec center. This is one of four excellent rec centers in the area provided by the Highlands Ranch Community Association! Whole Foods, other grocery stores, great restaurants, and easy highway access make this location highly sought after.
