How would like to live backing to a lake without having to move to Minnesota? Picture yourself enjoying your morning coffee on your choice of the 20x12 deck or the 22x12 brick paver patio through 1 of 2 sliding glass doors, while enjoying the mountain views across Kendrick Lake. A home with such a peaceful and serene setting is hard to find in Colorado, especially in such a convenient location. You can access the trail system that goes around the lake that ties into the trail around Smith Reservoir right out your back gate. The large lot, fenced, with sprinkler system, has plenty of room to play catch, garden, barbecue, and enjoy all the outdoor activities that make Colorado a great place to live. The driveway and walkway have been replaced as have the original windows. When you come in the front door, you are greeted with a vaulted ceiling living room. This floor plan is perfect for opening the wall between the kitchen, living room and dining room to create a true open great room concept. The breakfast nook enjoys the same great lake and mountain views that the window over the kitchen sink has. A few steps down from the breakfast nook, the large family room has a wet bar, soaring vaulted ceilings, and a gas log fireplace. There is a half bath on this level and the door to the oversize, over depth 2 car garage with a workshop area. There are 3 bedrooms up with 2 baths and the bedroom closets have cedar floors. The basement has an office and a rec room too. The laundry was moved to the basement, but can easily be moved back to the family room level. You won't want to miss this once in a lifetime opportunity. Location, location, location!
