The entry opens to a bright living and dining area featuring vaulted ceilings with beautiful wood beams and large picture windows that look out to the front patio, creating a welcoming courtyard feel. The living space flows into a well-appointed kitchen with an eat-in breakfast nook and continues seamlessly into the family room. Here, a large brick fireplace creates a warm gathering space, while windows frame serene views of the lush, tree-filled backyard--ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. One side of the main level includes a convenient laundry room and half bath. On the opposite wing, you'll find the primary bedroom with a ¾ ensuite, two additional bedrooms, and a full bathroom. The walkout basement expands the home's living space with a large recreation area offering flexibility for a media room, game space, or home gym. A cozy fireplace, built-in features, an additional non-conforming bedroom, and a ¾ bath make this level perfect for guests, hobbies, or multi-purpose living. Step outside to the lower patio and enjoy seamless access to the backyard. Outside, the grounds truly stand out--set on over half an acre, the mature, park-like landscaping with towering trees, tranquil views, and Dutch Creek gently running behind the property, provides a peaceful and private setting rarely found. Located close to parks, schools, shopping, Southwest Plaza, Chatfield Reservoir, and offers easy access to Santa Fe for downtown commuting and C-470 for quick mountain getaways. This is a rare opportunity to enjoy space, privacy, and flexibility in one of the area's most desirable neighborhoods!
