Quintessentially Colorado, this gorgeous custom retreat reflects excellence inside and out. The Kings Deer Highland subdivision is aptly named for the rolling, highland views of Pikes Peak and the Front Range Views, just 25 minutes from both Colorado Springs and Castle Rock. The generous and spacious ranch floor plan greets visitors with a welcoming front porch and a dramatic vaulted entrance, highlit with rustic beams and arches. Wide-plank hardwood floors throughout the main level add a deep richness to the space. The kitchen offers interior-lit custom maple cabinets with accenting island and slab granite, complimented by GE Profile stainless appliances, a gas cooktop, and a walk-through pantry. The everyday comfort continues to the kitchen gathering space, and seamlessly expands to the living room floor-to-ceiling fireplace. Sliding doors open to the covered composite deck with a view of Pikes Peak. The formal dining room is enhanced with custom features such as a 10' tray ceiling, crown molding and ambient lighting. The primary suite is private, with vaulted ceilings, a double-sided fireplace, and an opulent bath with a luxurious soaking tub, spacious closet, and a showstopping, frame-less glass shower with rain head, granite bench and elegant tile inlay. The bedroom configuration on the main level includes an office/bedroom across from the half bath as well as a more private bedroom en suite. Completing the main floor is a 3/4 bath, a walk-through pantry, and highly-functional laundry room with windows and an extra deep sink. Quality continues in the basement with alder trim and doors throughout, and a signature wet bar with stone, granite slab, two sides of abundant cabinetry, wine rack storage and fridge. Two garden level bedrooms enjoy an ornate 3/4 bath with granite slab, alder cabinets and deco tile. The walkout basement has an additional half bath for entertaining.
