From the moment you enter, this sophisticated Candelas ranch opens with intention with wide sightlines that draw your eye through the home giving way to protected open space and mountain silhouettes. Elevated ceilings lift the experience and allow natural light to drift throughout, while warm wood floors extend gracefully across the main level, including the primary retreat. The expansive great room is centered by a striking stone fireplace and framed by expansive windows that capture spectacular mountain views. It flows naturally into the chef's kitchen where an oversized island, dark contemporary cabinetry, contrasting granite counters and stainless appliances support both daily living and refined entertaining. The privately positioned, main level primary suite impresses with mountain views, a boutique style walk in closet and a luxury bath highlighted by a deep soaking tub. Two additional main level bedrooms share a stylish bath while the formal dining room stands ready to host memorable gatherings. A rare and highly desirable casita adds exceptional versatility, offering a private studio with its own entrance, bath, kitchenette and laundry- easily configured as a standalone space or a one-bedroom apartment connected to the main home. The finished basement spans the home's full footprint with thoughtfully designed spaces for recreation and relaxation. A custom wet bar with beverage refrigerator, dishwasher and microwave complements a game area and media lounge. Two additional bedrooms with walk-in closets, bath and a dedicated wellness room with sauna and gym equipment create a true lower-level escape. Outdoors, a $100,000 transformation delivers an extended covered patio, spa and layered lounging areas overlooking open space and unforgettable western sunsets. Located in amenity-rich Candelas, residents enjoy resort-style pools, fitness centers, parks, trails, community events and nearby dining--blending recreation, connection and Colorado living at its finest.
