Come for the views. Stay for the Colorado lifestyle. Tucked onto 2.5 private-feeling acres in gated Pikes Peak Mountain Estates, this 5-bed, 3-bath, 3,824-sq-ft mountain contemporary delivers the kind of setting that makes you wonder why you'd ever leave home. Those mountain views steal the show, appearing through expansive windows throughout the home. Inside, wood floors, warm wood details and stacked stone provide just the right Colorado character. Gather around the great room fireplace, cook in a granite-topped kitchen, or step onto the deck and let the mountains provide the backdrop. Downstairs, the walkout level is ready for fun with a spacious rec room, wet bar, additional bedrooms, another fireplace and a dedicated home theater. Movie night just got an upgrade! Then head outside for a soak in the oversized hot tub-included with the sale-beneath the Colorado sky. Multiple outdoor living areas make entertaining equally appealing. Add a 3-car garage, greenhouse and dog run, and you have a mountain property built for real life as well as weekend escapes. Best of all? Manitou Springs, Colorado Springs and Woodland Park are just minutes away. Mountain serenity without giving up convenience.
