Magnificent custom wood-and-stone-accented home has been completely brought back to life. Exuding warmth and timelessness, and thoughtfully designed with large living spaces throughout, the home has been lovingly restored inside and out with new roof, new fence, new carpet, new paint, new fixtures, new lighting, new AC, new windows and a new lease on life while retaining vintage wood tones for a seamless blend of old and new that I'm calling contemporary traditional. An inviting and huge foyer opens a world of possibilities, with living rooms left or right and a loft den/office upstairs. Beamed and vaulted ceilings, a dramatic moss rock fireplace and window seats compete for attention, with a soft but insistent allure of comfort and style. The chefs kitchen includes gorgeous granite counters, a double oven, extra refrigerators below the counter, a warming drawer, five-burner stove, miles of cabinets, and an eat-in space that opens directly onto the two-level deck. Upstairs is a versatile den/office loft with built-in bookcases and vaulted wood ceiling leading to a wide hallway to the bedrooms. The master suite is huge, with another window seat and a stylish master bath with designer tile and dual sink. Two large bedrooms and a hall bath with upper-level laundry, more designer tile and another dual sink complete the layout. Downstairs is a huge rec room and another office/den with attached bath with a massive and distinctlve walk-in shower. Outside is a dramatic facade that's a thing of architectural beauty, incorporating stone, custom wood siding and wood beams into an organic whole that seems one with the ground it was built on. All this resides on a fenced, level corner lot for your own slice of serenity on the West side, with Pikes Peak views and easy access to everywhere, and in the D-20 school district, with Foothills Elementary just 100 yards away. Don't miss the trailhead on the cut de sac. As much a work of art as a house, this is a home to savor.
