Backing to open space with expansive mountain views, this updated Highlands Ranch home on a quiet cul-de-sac offers a setting defined by natural surroundings and an openness increasingly difficult to find. A welcoming entry with vaulted ceilings and oversized windows creates an immediate sense of space and natural light. Wide plank French oak flooring extends throughout the main level, connecting the living areas and enhancing flow. The updated kitchen offers a large island, quartz countertops, and a breakfast nook positioned to take in the views. Adjacent living spaces include a family room with a gas fireplace accented by stone and wood details, and a dedicated sitting area oriented toward the open space backdrop. The deck off the kitchen extends the living space outdoors, overlooking the open space behind the home-enhancing both privacy and the depth of the mountain views. Also on the main level is a quiet office that could function as a guest room with a connecting full bathroom. A mudroom with laundry and a utility sink is also located just off the 3-car garage. Upstairs, the primary suite is positioned to enjoy the views and features white oak flooring and dual closets. The renovated primary bathroom offers dual vanities, a soaking tub, and a walk-in shower complete with travertine tile and a digitally controlled shower system. The partially finished basement provides flexible living space, an updated bathroom, and a large unfinished area offering potential for future expansion. Additional features include a tankless water heater, Ecobee thermostat, Lutron-controlled lighting, and a desirable south-facing driveway. Ideally located to Toepfer Park, walking trails, nearby shopping and dining, and Northridge Recreation Center, this home offers a compelling combination of mountain views, setting, updates, and livability.
