About This Home
Beautifully updated chalet style home on a mostly level, wooded one-and-a-half acre lot in magnificent Coal Creek Canyon! Interior features tongue-in-groove paneling from the same knotty pines that populate the canyon. Incredible mountain views abound from any of the FIVE balconies! Go left on the forked asphalt driveway to reach "the Warehouse" - a detached 1,350 square foot insulated 6 to 8-car garage with 14-foot vehicle door, concrete floors, lighting/electrical, shelving and work bench. Store all your toys! Back to the house - the kitchen features granite counters, stainless steel appliances, bountiful natural light and plenty of storage and counter space. Adjoining the kitchen on one side is a light-and-bright "eat-in" area, and on the other side, a large trex entertainer's balcony overlooking the picturesque lot and canyon views. The great room features vaulted ceilings and a fireplace with a natural stone hearth and firewood storage. The traditional dining room has access to its own comfy balcony, and is steps from the tasteful main floor powder room. Head upstairs to the spacious "master" bedroom, which has TWO private cantilevered balconies, as well as its own natrual stone fireplace. The second upstairs bedroom has yet another private balcony, and between the two bedrooms is a tastefully updated full bath. Head downstairs to the walk-out basement with access to the heated garage (EV charger included!), recently updated 3/4 bath, bonus/office room, utility room, and exterior door with walk-out access to the pristine, level backyard. High-end triple pane storm windows throughout the home. The roads are well maintained year-round, and the home is less than five minutes from a gas station, service station, post office, coffee shop, veterinarian, fire station, and a Jeffco snow plowing and sanding operation. This is it - your own Rocky Mountain chalet; the perfect combination of mountain living and luxury lifestyle! Call Noah with any questions: 970.420.9531
