Experience life in Colorado in an extraordinary manner. This very special property offers over 2 acres in the woods with a babbling creek you can hear from your primary suite. It was built by a local builder Tom Day with the renderings of artist Sarah Susanka, author, architect and visionary. Some unique features include milled alder trim and doors, custom tile work, bamboo flooring, custom glass transoms..... and then add a gourmet kitchen with large island, slab granite, updated appliances, custom birch cabinets and large walk-in pantry. Family gatherings are easy with its "open" concept to include the butler's pantry, large dining room and large island, along with a cozy fireplace nearby. The bonus suite with its separate entrance works well for overnight guests or long term family visits. The mechanics of this home include radiant hot water heat, on-demand hot water, whole house fan, whole house speaker system, and spearate hardwired internet for each bedroom. You will appreciate a wet bar with sink and small refrigerator in the basement, an office OR bedroom on the main level, many wonderful built-ins and central vac with 3 hoses. It cannot be stressed enough the uniqueness of the beautiful custom woodwork and diversity in products used for the interior design. The closeness to nature is unparalled. Walk down the road to Palmer Lake Reservoir trailhead for a daily hike or walk 5 minutes to town for a morning coffee or venture down to the creek at the base of your property to find your very own private sitting area for reading, comtemplating life or a nap! The driveway has been newly resealed with ample parking in the back (up to 14 cars), stucco was refreshed and painted, and new privacy fencing installed. There are many possibilities here -raise your family in the woods in a small town, make it an escape from the big city, or it has been very successfully used as a short term rental if that is something you desire.
