Lake of the Rockies is a coveted enclave backing onto the Front Range with community access to Monument Lake. This 2017 ranch with finished basement truly has it all! Upgrades and premium features include 10' ceilings (trey shaping in dining & primary), 8' interior doors, abundant natural light, luxury vinyl planking (common areas), and brand-new carpeting (staircase & secondary bedrooms). The smooth flow is open concept, yet with enough definition for exceptional functionality. The gourmet chef's kitchen is truly the heart of this home, featuring expansive granite surfaces, a large center island, 42” staggered cabinetry, a five-burner gas range, and double ovens; adjacent to a casual dinette area and accessible through a butler's alley (with walk-in pantry) to formal dining. Entertaining is delightful, overlooking the spacious living room with gas fireplace (floor to ceiling stone). The primary retreat is spacious and private, and the 5-piece ensuite boasts double vanities, soaking tub, large walk-in shower, private water closet, and walk-in closet (built-in organizers). The basement showcases a massive family area with wet bar - room for games, media, pool table, or ping pong (plus two beds & ¾ bathroom)! The backyard patio pergola is accessed directly via the kitchen or the primary bedroom. The historic town of Monument is an idyllic and unspoiled Colorado gem. Stroll the independent boutiques, sample the local culinary delights, unwind at the summer concert series (Wednesday's at Limbach Park complete with food trucks), celebrate community at holiday events, and engage in a huge array of recreational activities from the water to the trails. The Tri-Lakes towns of Monument, Palmer Lake, and Woodmoor are included in the award-winning Lewis-Palmer School District 38. Mere minutes away, the I-25 corridor streams north through Castle Rock to Denver/DIA and south to the Springs past the USAFA.
