Most homes at this price hand you builder-grade finishes and a long list of things you will fix later. These owners did the opposite. They took a 2023 ranch and made it feel custom: stone accents, motorized window shades, a tile kitchen backsplash, updated lighting throughout, a glass shower enclosure in the guest bath, garage door windows, full landscaping and fencing, even an EV charging station. The stuff a builder spec makes you wait months and spend real money to add is already done here. The gourmet kitchen runs the main level with an oversized quartz island, double ovens, a professional vent hood, and designer lighting, all open to a great room with a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace and hardwood floors. A sleek linear fireplace warms the main level, with another fireplace down in the finished basement. Main-level living keeps the primary suite, walk-in closet, office, and a second bedroom all on one floor. Downstairs adds a 31x34 second living room and two more bedrooms, so guests, a gym, or multi-gen living all have a place. Class 4 impact-resistant roof, central A/C, and a whole-house humidifier round it out. Forest Lakes is the part you cannot manufacture. A community lake, trails throughout, and the welcoming Colorado feel the owners fell for. Award-winning District 38 schools. Interquest shopping, the Promenade, Briargate Shopping Center, and Top Golf minutes away. Downtown Colorado Springs about 20 minutes out, Castle Rock 20, Denver 40. Then there is the move the owners made that no one else on the street can copy. They pushed the house back 15 feet off the standard build line, buying privacy from the side neighbor and a clean view of Mt. Herman over protected open space. That view off the private patio at the end of the day is the real reason to own this home, and it is the one part you have to stand there and feel for yourself. Come see it!
