Why pay $525,000 for an interior lot when you can have a home with privacy behind you, western mountain views, more than $100K in builder upgrades, solar already installed, and a beautifully finished outdoor living space with low-maintenance turf designed for relaxation and entertaining. This Sand Dunes model delivers single-level living with a bright open layout where kitchen, dining, and great room connect for everyday comfort and easy entertaining. The chef's kitchen includes a large island, upgraded finishes, and abundant storage. At the back of the home, the primary suite offers a private retreat with a grand shower, expansive counter space with dual vanities, and a spacious walk-in closet. Two secondary bedrooms and a full bath at the front add flexibility for family, guests, or a home office. Upgrades give this home a true advantage over builder inventory. The garage is professionally finished with a durable epoxy floor and a 220V outlet for EV charging. The backyard includes low-maintenance turf, raised garden boxes with drip irrigation, a privacy fence, and full landscaping that let you enjoy Colorado living from day one. Energy efficiency is built in with solar. The current owners save an average of $80/m and have lower, predictable bills better protected from rising rates. (solar to be assumed by Buyer at Closing, $147/m) And beyond the home is LIFE at The Aurora Highlands - a community alive with parks, trails, art installations, markets, yoga in the park, Cars + Coffee, Zumba Fridays, and seasonal festivals.
