Tucked away in a quiet valley near Centennial Cone Park, this 2.34-acre retreat blends into the landscape with wide-open views. Inside, the heart of the house is a dramatic great room with vaulted ceilings and expansive windows that pull in sun and warmth and flood the space with natural light throughout the day. The great room’s warmth and character is enhanced by the wood stove accompanied by a quarry tile hearth and custom mantel. The open floor plan with full accompanied kitchen includes counter seating space, creating a natural flow for daily living and entertaining. The family room accents the natural light with skylights and accesses the deck through the walk-out door. The large primary bedroom has a walk-in closet, a sitting area, and close access to a full bathroom. Two additional bedrooms share a full hallway bath. The study/office could be used as an optional guest room. Outside, the south-facing deck provides views stretching all the way to Denver and beyond, and makes winter access to sunny days possible. The house is surrounded by beautiful flower gardens on all sides. Elk sightings are not uncommon here, as well as moose at times, making this the perfect blend of nature, function, and freedom. An oversized 2-bay garage/workshop with overhead loft provides ample storage and awaits your next project. The large barn in the lower meadow offers endless potential for livestock or storing various toys. Just minutes from Jeffco open space trails, quiet living provides a perfect balance of peaceful mountain living with convenient access to Golden and Denver. One of Golden’s most unique rural mountain settings.
