The best of both worlds brings city and private foothills living together! This is one of those rare homes that captures the very essence of Colorado mountain living while providing easy access to Denver, Golden, the foothills and world-class mountain resorts. This is truly a rare, coveted, and special find in one of the most secluded neighborhoods of the Foothills as close to the city as you can possibly be—only 25 minutes to Denver, an hour from world-class resorts, on a nice usable lot surrounded by natural beauty, wildlife and peacefulness. The location speaks for itself, and the house is amazing! Start with the expansive flowing and flexible floorplan with walls of windows flooding the house with natural light and serene views from nearly every room! Charm and character meld mid century with the large 1985 addition. The centerpiece of the main level is the updated chef's kitchen, including a double Wolf dual fuel range, vent hood, warming drawer, wine fridge, pot filler, and a second sink in the island bar. The main level also features two complete bedroom suites, a beautiful living room with a wood-burning fireplace/blower for cozy winter days, and both an eating area and a formal dining room. Brand-new septic, new roof and exterior paint in 2023, interior paint throughout most of the house and refinished hardwood floors. There’s a potting shed and a barn with electricity for your yard tools, toys, and plenty of storage. The "4th" bedroom is nonconforming without a closet, but it's a flexible room with a large wlak-out slider. The large open 2nd floor loft is currently used as an office, has a full bathroom and is a terrific flex space for plenty of other uses. The lower-level kitchen area, bedroom and bathroom make for a lovely area for In-laws or guests. There’s so much more than I have room to say here. Please take a look at all of the photos, videos, floorplans and 3D tour to see it all! Ask your agent to sahre the private broker remarks with you.

This charming mountain A-frame was thoughtfully expanded in the 1980s to give more generous main-level space for a warm, lodge-like feeling. A circular driveway welcomes you home. The large kitchen offers extra cabinetry for storage and a window over the sink, perfect for bird watching. Metal-clad wood casement windows frame the views throughout.

Tongue-and-groove ceilings throughout the upper level add to the home's lodge character.

Abundant wildlife roams the property, including deer, turkey, and even moose, adding to the wild beauty of this highly coveted mountain community, where new construction is fetching millions. The property sits near Golden Gate Canyon State Park, with miles of hiking, biking, and horseback trails just beyond your door, plus plenty of your own backyard terrain to explore.
