Location! Location! Location! In a setting as picturesque as it gets, this stunner sits in a lush mountain meadow replete with strolling wildlife and views for days. The location is absolute perfection, a quiet cul-de-sac in the coveted Ridge at Hiwan with hiking trails out the back door and a sledding hill that dreams are made of visible out the kitchen window. The award-winning elementary school is a short walk away and its multiple athletic fields are easily accessible. A large, flat yard is a rarity in the foothills, and this one is extra special as it backs directly to protected open space that seems to go on forever. The 6-zone sprinkler system keeps it looking polished. Maximizing the benefits of outdoor living, the oversized wood deck is outfitted with a gas plumbed fire pit and just might be the best place in Evergreen to catch the sunset! Indoors a gracious entryway leads to an executive office, as well as formal living and dining rooms, with hardwood floors throughout. The generous open concept kitchen adjoins the great room which opens directly to the deck space - all flooded with natural light. A powder room and stylish laundry/mud room complete the main level. Upstairs you’ll find 4 bedrooms and 3 baths. The recently renovated primary ensuite features dual vanities, marble counters, gleaming white subway tile, a glass surround shower room and soaking tub. The spacious lower level boasts an extra large rec room with wet bar, 5th bedroom, recently renovated full bath and bonus room perfect for a home gym or theater. The short, flat driveway is extremely low maintenance, and the quick access to the I-70 corridor means commuters can get to downtown Denver in 30 minutes! The Ridge consistently draws homeowners with its unique lots, advantageous location and warm neighborhood feel. Truly the best of both worlds, enjoy your exclusive mountain meadow environment, and walk to all the amenities of the Bergen Park shopping area.
