Property Description

Unmatched privacy meets thoughtful updates in this stunning home, backing directly to Cathy Fromme Prairie Open Space - protected land that will never be developed, with sweeping, unobstructed views. Just two houses from the Fossil Creek Trail entrance, enjoy easy walking and biking access to a trail that connects to the entire Fort Collins trail system, plus a perfect 1-mile loop inside the neighborhood, all nestled in the foothills near Horsetooth Reservoir. Inside, soaring windows fill the vaulted family room with natural light, centered around a striking double-sided brick fireplace shared with the living room. The kitchen has been refreshed with a new gas range, refrigerator, sink, faucet, disposal, and updated cabinetry. The primary suite features an updated en-suite bath, and secondary bedrooms share a fully updated bath with dual sinks and tile. The finished basement is a true showstopper: a remodeled full bath with tile and quartz vanity, a dedicated weight room, game room area, stylish dry bar with beverage fridge and custom lighting, and an updated office with quartz counters. New LVP flooring throughout, plus new trim, baseboards, and stairs. Major mechanical upgrades include an all-new HVAC system (AC and furnace), two 50-gallon water heaters, radon mitigation, and a whole-house fan. Step outside to an entertainer's dream: a sprawling multi-level deck with built-in fire pit and included hot tub, all overlooking the open space - perfect for sunset gatherings. The fully fenced backyard also features a basketball court, play set with rubber mulch, storage shed, mature landscaping, and sprinklers front and back. Oversized 3-car garage with built-in storage and a dedicated laundry room with cabinets, sink, and closet. With rare open-space privacy, trail access, resort-style outdoor living, and updates throughout - this home truly cannot be replicated.
