Well cared for and updated 2-story in a Highlands Ranch neighborhood where homes rarely come up for sale! This gorgeous Writer home has been nurtured by the same owner for over 20 years! The main level features a 2-story living room upon entering the front door foyer. The living room has incredible windows and natural light, new carpet, window treatments, fresh paint and an updated entry fixture. The living room flows into the dining area which has been updated with a new fixture, carpet and window coverings. Pass through into the kitchen and find more updates and features like quartz counters, new hardware, refinished wood flooring, a gas range, pantry closet, peninsula and breakfast nook. The kitchen opens into the family room which boasts a gas fireplace, ceiling fan and several windows inviting more natural light. Rounding out the main level is a private office behind the family room as well as an updated powder bathroom. The upper level has new carpet and four total bedrooms with updated window treatments along with the laundry room - no hauling laundry up and down stairs in this home! The primary bedroom has a vaulted ceiling, ceiling fan, 5-piece updated bathroom and walk-in closet. The other nice sized bedrooms all have closet organizers and blackout shades. The upper level full bathroom has also been updated. The unfinished basement is a blank slate with a structural subfloor (put your bathroom where you want it), sump pump and updated mechanicals (no originals!). The 2-car garage has an east facing driveway (great for snow melt) and the roof was replaced in 2024 with an impact resistant shingle (great for insurance). Excellent proximity to grocery stores, restaurants, walking and biking paths and more. Cougar Run Elementary is walking distance and hopping on the 470 Trail is a piece of cake. The HOA fee provides access to everything the HRCA has to offer including all four rec centers! Check out the floor plans with the photos as well as the 3D tour!
