Single family homes near the college are hard to find — and this immaculate home is one of the nicest in the area. This 2,086 SF home was smartly designed on an elevated site, with uninterrupted views of Perins Peak and the La Plata Mountains. It’s location near the cul-de-sac towards the back of Cedar Ridge allows for both quiet and privacy. Although built in 2012, the home feels brand new as the owners have kept it clean and well-maintained. When you walk through the front door of this beautiful home, you will be drawn in by the custom hardwood flooring leading you into the open living area. Enjoy all of the abundant natural light from the large windows and tall ceilings. The kitchen is the center of the home with black granite tile counters, alder cabinetry, upscale stainless steel appliances, a large island, and a convenient pantry. The combined area of the kitchen, living room, and dining area all have huge mountain views out of every window. Off of the dining area, there is a cute east facing trex deck to enjoy your morning coffee. The large master bedroom is on the main floor. The well-appointed 5 piece master bathroom with an oversized tub also includes a large walk-in closet to round out this master retreat. From the master bedroom there is direct access to the backyard oasis. This backyard boasts a comfy trex deck, flagstone walkways, terraces with mature plantings, and great views of Raider's Ridge.
