Charming Forest Lakes home nestled on 1 private acre in the pines. This well-maintained single-level home offers an open floor plan with vaulted tongue-and-groove ceilings in the great room, complete with a cozy wood-burning stove for cuddling up on those cold nights. The floor-to-ceiling windows let in an abundance of natural light while you enjoy watching the many mountain animals that regularly visit this property, such as deer, turkeys, foxes, rabbits, and mountain bluebirds. Kick your feet up and relax on either of the two decks and listen to the seasonal creek that often runs in the spring. Have you ever wanted to forage Colorado's natural wonders and harvest your food right from your own yard? This home comes with a custom greenhouse currently in bloom, as well as a plethora of natural fruit trees, seven types of edible fall mushrooms, and herbs that have been nurtured by the Sellers and return yearly on the property. Do you like to play sports, or maybe you need a spot for your RV? Look no further. This property features a custom reinforced slab designed for basketball or parking a large RV. With all your fun toys, wondering where to store them? No problem--there are two 12' x 15' sheds, one of which has been insulated and one includes a ramp and a roll-up overhead door. Home highlights include newer stainless appliances, wheelchair-friendly doorways, three bedrooms, and abundant closet storage throughout. The primary bedroom features an ensuite bath with dual sinks and has two spacious walk-in closets. A 24' x 24' carport, custom rock landscaping all around the property, south-facing solar exposure, an asphalted driveway (a rare find in Forest Lakes) sealed last fall, and ample parking round out the exterior. The seller is including a nearly new Honda snowblower and two portable air conditioning units, as well as firewood stores, lumber used on the property, and extension ladders in the sheds.
