It’s hard to believe a place like this exists so close to town! You’ll find yourself in a private sanctuary alongside a year-round creek with cascading waterfalls, stunning rock formations, and hundreds of aspen trees. Yet, you’re still less than 20 min from downtown Colorado Springs. rnIn this home you’ll find an open floor plan, high ceilings, and large windows that let in plenty of natural light. Upon entering, you’re greeted by a large dining area complete with newly refinished hardwood floors, custom trim work, and a row of windows overlooking the covered front porch. The spacious kitchen features a large island, Corian countertops, newer SS appliances, new tile floor, and a large adjoining dining area ideally situated in front of the bay window. The living room hosts a wood fireplace and a sliding door that draws you out onto the large back deck where you can enjoy the sights and sounds of the waterfalls and surrounding forest. The main level also has a dedicated office with French doors and great views. rnUpstairs you’ll find a spacious primary suite with vaulted ceilings, a private deck, large ensuite bath, and a walk-in closet. There are two additional bedrooms with walk-in closets and a Jack’n Jill bath. The laundry room is also ideally located near the bedrooms. rnThe walk-out basement hosts a large family room with built-ins and a second fireplace as well as a separate flex space that could make a great craft room or theatre area. rnThe lot has been meticulously landscaped by the owner, and in the springtime you’ll be treated to thousands of flowers blooming all around. This is also one of the very few lots in the area with a large flat lawn and almost certainly the only one with your own little private beach! You’d be hard pressed to find a better property to connect with nature or for entertaining friends and family. rnAll new interior and exterior paint, new carpeting and a new roof are just a few of the other features this stunning home has to offer.
