From the street, it's a classic ranch perfectly situated on a cul-de-sac. Step inside, and something unexpected begins to unfold. A bright and large living room with beautiful bay window offers the first glimpse of the home's personality, while design and custom architectural details hint at surprises still to come. At the heart of the home is an extraordinary dining room, anchored by a fireplace, which leads to a spectacular great room with exposed ceiling beams, expansive windows, and sweeping views of the backyard, a spacious deck, flagstone pavers, and mature trees. With earthy tile floors and outdoor connection, the space feels both wonderfully nostalgic and effortlessly inviting! A spacious primary suite features a private bath, handcrafted woodwork, and a walk-in closet. Another room offers flexibility for an office, or quiet retreat. Two additional bedrooms and a second full bath complete the main level. The basement adds a conforming fourth bedroom, generous den, abundant storage, and room for fitness, hobbies, or office space. This updated home celebrates its 1970s roots without being defined by them, or sacrificing the character that makes it so special. Behind the scenes, recent investment includes high-efficiency furnace and heat pump, updated ductwork, exterior grading, James Hardie siding, plumbing upgrades, custom woodwork, and a beautiful acacia wood kitchen island countertop bringing craftsmanship to everyday living. Lastly there's the community of Dam West, one of Aurora's most enduring neighborhoods. Designed from the then-novel idea that community and open space should be part of everyday life, that vision lives on through mature trees, greenbelts, parks, and a pool. Benefits and amenities here have been part of the story from the very beginning, and this home is a block away from all of it! An array of restaurants also awaits. If you know the Denver area's food scene, this foodie paradise is where some of its best flavors are found.
