This home is sited on 0.88 acres behind the gates of the Village at Castle Pines, screened by mature ponderosas with greenbelt at the back of the lot. The exterior is stucco and stone under a concrete tile roof. New flagstone paths and a water feature run along the front, and the mountain views open to the west.

The Main Level

An iron-and-glass door opens into the foyer, with the living room a few steps down from it: coffered ceiling, built-in bookshelves, gas fireplace. The newly refinished hardwood floors and trim brighten the whole main floor. The kitchen connects to the formal dining room through a butler’s pantry. The kitchen is new throughout: cabinets, quartzite counters, a Sub-Zero refrigerator, stainless double ovens, a gas cooktop set into a large island, and two pantries. A breakfast nook sits between the kitchen and the family room, which has its own stone fireplace. The office is also on this level, large, with shelving across most of the walls. Off the garage there’s a mud room with a utility sink, roomy enough to use as a quiet place to sit. A remodeled powder room rounds out the floor.

Upstairs

The primary bedroom has mountain views through windows on two sides and a new fireplace set into the wall it shares with the bath, open on both faces. The five-piece primary bath is all new with an air jet tub, a large shower, and heated floors, and the closet was redone with organizers. Three more bedrooms are up here, each with a walk-in closet and its own ensuite full bath. There’s also a loft over the foyer, new railings on the stairs and in the loft, new carpet throughout, and a laundry room remodeled with a utility sink and a wall of cabinets.

The Walk-Out Lower Level

The lower level walks out to a covered patio. Its family room has a bar and a gas fireplace, and next to that is a climate-controlled wine cellar with a separate tasting room, set up with its own table, seating, and decor. The tasting room furnishings and decorations are included, and the wine collection can be included. Also downstairs: a powder room, a home gym with the equipment included, a guest bedroom with a Murphy bed, and its own new ensuite bath with a new steam shower.

Outdoor Spaces

The house has outdoor space on every level. A covered upper deck with a fire table looks west over the pines, a second deck runs off the main level, and a flagstone patio sits at the walk-out below. New concrete and flagstone paths went in with the rest of the work. Sprinklers run front and back, the landscaping is irrigated, and trees screen the lot on every side.
