Classic Highlands Ranch two-story backing to the serene Welte Trail and greenbelt! This south-facing 3-bedroom, 4-bath home is filled with natural light with oversized windows throughout. Thoughtfully designed with built-in storage on every level, it also features an exceptional backyard retreat with evening shade-perfect for relaxing on sunny days. Enter into the living room with vaulted ceilings and a stained-glass light fixture. The spacious eat-in kitchen and dining room offers wraparound cabinetry, a charming picture window with a ledge for growing fresh herbs, and peaceful open-space views from the large dining area window, creating a space to gather and share meals. The family room offers an open layout anchored by a cozy gas log fireplace, while a sliding glass door leads directly to the home's crown jewel, the backyard! With an expansive deck overlooking the Welte Trail green belt, raised garden beds, and lush grass for play, you'll want to soak up every second of sunshine and starlight. Upstairs, an airy primary suite offers a dual vanity en-suite and walk-in closet. The two secondary bedrooms overlook the backyard and green belt. The partially finished walk-out basement contains shelving galore, a bathroom, and access to the backyard, making it perfect for an office or study. A large unfinished storage space keeps seasonal decor out of sight. Keep tools and gear handy in the oversized 2-car garage, complete with workbench. Surrounded by amenities and activities, the home is only a short walk from picnics in the Cheese Ranch Historic & Natural Area or hitting the green at The Links Golf Course. Enjoy easy access via nearby C470 to paddleboarding at Chatfield State Park, year-round swimming at the Highlands Ranch Rec Center (Included in HOA fee!), or elite shopping and dining at Park Meadows Mall.
