Like new and loaded with upgrades, this 3-bedroom, 3-bath home in Buffalo Highlands welcomes you with a dramatic 2-story foyer that flows into an open main floor with high ceilings, oversized doors, and abundant natural light. The spacious kitchen is the heart of the home, showcasing a large island with sink, dishwasher, breakfast bar, pendant lighting, and extra storage. Granite countertops, white shaker cabinets, a glass tile backsplash, pantry, and stainless appliances-including a gas range and upgraded refrigerator with changeable panel-are complemented by professionally installed dining area cabinetry with quartz countertops, wine storage, soft-close drawers, and an additional pantry. High-grade LVP flooring extends throughout the main level. Upstairs, the primary suite features a tray ceiling, smart lighting, a ceiling fan, large walk-in closet, and en-suite bath with granite double vanity, luxury vinyl flooring, and tiled shower. Two additional bedrooms share a full bath and each have walk-in closets and ceiling fans, and the second-floor laundry includes the washer and dryer. The finished basement with two egress windows offers a spacious rec room large enough to accommodate multiple uses-such as a media area and game room, or an office and gym-while still leaving room to grow. Outdoor living shines with a covered Trex deck with shades, paver patio, and garden area in the low-maintenance yard. Smart features include three smart lights, doorbell, exterior camera, and Flo by Moen water monitoring with water softener. The 2-car garage is fully drywalled with overhead storage and extra outlets. Solar panels (leased at $38/mo) help reduce energy costs. Close to parks-including a new 2-acre city park-trails, a K-8 tuition-free charter school, Prairie Center shopping district, rec center, DIA, major routes, and just 30 minutes to Downtown Denver. A soon-to-open high school sits just across 96th, and a pocket park with playground is right around the corner.
