This wonderful home located less than a mile from the Highlands Ranch Town Center and a mile from the new restaurants in Central Park offers a number of upgrades and special features. The landscaping focuses on saving water with xeriscape in front featuring plants that attract butterflies and hummingbirds while providing fresh herbs like lavender, sage, thyme, bee balm, hyssop, and chives. You will also find elderberry, thorn-less blackberry, and a miniature apple tree while the back features newly installed drought resistant grass grown locally in Colorado. The large, two level deck is great for grilling, entertaining, and just taking in the views of the Rocky Mountains. Inside, you will find a refreshing and bright eat-in kitchen featuring engineered stone counter tops, newly refaced cabinets with over and under lighting and a new gas stove, microwave, dishwasher, and under-sink disposal. The wall dividing the front room from the kitchen is a Venetian Plaster feature wall with spot lights aimed to illuminate your artwork or family photos. The kitchen opens to the family room that is pre-wired for surround sound. Really want to entertain? Then take advantage of the counters in the basement designed for a wine cooler, mini fridge, and hidden chest freezer for extra food storage. The basement is also ready for surround sound or speakers. Upstairs, enjoy your escape from it all with a large soaking tub in the main bathroom, or enjoy the Master Bath's granite counter top, copper features, and granite inlay tile shower and floor. The hardwood stairs extend into the upstairs hallway and first bedroom and feature a tile pattern on the rise face of each step. The high traffic areas are done in tile to keep the new carpet looking sharp. This incredible home sits within walking distance of the neighborhood elementary school with friendly, community oriented neighbors, and easy access to the many paths that make Highlands Ranch one of the best areas to live in the USA.
