Motivated Seller. Priced below the recent appraised value. A Rare Rattlesnake Retreat. Enjoy mountain views through the trees, Rattlesnake trails practically at your doorstep, and downtown just 6.2 miles away. Offering 4,608 square feet of beautifully designed living space on 4.5 private acres, this exceptional property borders the Rattlesnake National Recreation Area and is surrounded by 135 shared acres of deeded conservation land. Tucked inside a quiet gated neighborhood, this exceptional property offers a rare combination of privacy, views, recreation, and convenience. Expansive windows and skylights bring the surrounding landscape into the home, filling the interiors with natural light and showcasing the changing seasons.

The open kitchen with pantry flows easily into the dining spaces, creating an inviting setting for both everyday life and entertaining. The main level also features a generous primary suite with private porch access, a full bath, and abundant closet space, along with a convenient laundry and mudroom. The walk-out lower level is designed for comfortable living and guests, offering three large bedrooms with walk-in closets, a full bath with dual sinks and separate shower/toilet areas, and a dedicated TV/theater room. Two substantial storage rooms provide plenty of room for outdoor gear and seasonal storage, while patio doors open from the bedrooms to a peaceful lower-level sitting area. Outside, the property truly comes alive. A partial wrap-around porch showcases the mountain setting and provides the perfect place to take in the views and peaceful surroundings. The lower patio offers another inviting space for entertaining, relaxing, or simply enjoying the quiet of the surrounding landscape. The detached three-car garage is connected to the home by a breezeway and includes a versatile bonus room above-ideal as an office, studio, gym, guest space, or creative retreat. Recent improvements include a roof replacement in 2022 and a kitchen remodel completed approximately ten years ago, adding to the home's lasting appeal.
