Modern luxury meets natural beauty in this thoughtfully upgraded custom home. Originally built by a custom home builder for their own family, this better-than-new residence has been further enhanced by the current owner with high-end upgrades and exceptional attention to detail. Set on a peaceful lot bordered by a stream and mature trees, the home offers a rare combination of privacy, tranquility, and convenient access to downtown Golden, Denver, Red Rocks, mountain recreation, and local shopping and dining. The light-filled main level features an open-concept layout with a warm and inviting family room anchored by a cozy fireplace, a chef-inspired kitchen with a center island and premium finishes, a spacious dining area, and a flexible room ideal for a main floor bedroom or home office. Additional highlights include a stylish foyer, a powder room, and a well-organized mudroom with direct access to the attached two-car garage. Upstairs, the primary suite provides a serene retreat with a dual vanity and a beautifully tiled custom shower. A vaulted-ceiling flex space offers endless possibilities whether as a game room, playroom, workout area, or second office. Two additional bedrooms, a full bath, and a convenient laundry room complete the upper level. Outdoor living is just as impressive, with a large deck and flagstone patio overlooking the stream and natural waterfalls - perfect for relaxing or entertaining.
