Nature is just begging to be explored from this updated and spacious rancher with one-level living, on the porch of Red Rocks Canyon open space. Step outside and immediately stroll onto open space trails and explore your personal slice of the Manitou Spring foothills. But what a place to be when you want to be home. Enjoy a huge sunken living room with mountain views from the plate-glass windows. Cozy up in the den with stone fireplace and walk-out to a covered screen porch. Enjoy dinners in the dining room with wood-accent walls, or keep it intimate in the eat-in space in the kitchen, which features vintage cabinets, granite counters and stainless steel appliances. Four bedrooms and two baths provide private space for everyone, and the minimally finished basement with black ceilings and whitewashed walls provide cool opportunities for hip industrial-level rec rooms, game rooms and theater rooms. Includes main-level laundry, AC, two-car garage with a workshop, and large side and front yards. Situated in a quiet neighborhood near the top of the hill, but easily accessible to major routes, this is a home for easy living, comfort and convenience, all part of a great outdoor playground.
