Tucked away at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in the highly sought-after Serene Lakes community, this thoughtfully designed mountain retreat by Dewitz/Engel enjoys one of the neighborhood’s most desirable settings. Situated on a sunny, level lot and encompassing 1,968 square feet, the residence offers three bedrooms, two baths, a loft, and a versatile bonus room, all framed by mature landscaping and an exceptional sense of privacy. The home’s rear deck overlooks a seasonal stream that meanders through the property, creating a serene natural backdrop. Further enhancing the setting, the northern boundary adjoins Water District land, preserving open space and offering a rare opportunity to maintain the property's tranquil surroundings for years to come. Designed for both recreation and everyday living, the spacious two-car garage provides abundant storage for vehicles and mountain gear alike. The garage connects directly to an expansive mudroom and a rare enclosed dog area, creating a practical transition from the outdoors. Beyond are laundry and utility spaces and a flexible bonus room offering additional functionality. The main living level embraces an open-concept layout where kitchen, dining, and living spaces flow seamlessly together. Two bedrooms and a full bath complete the floor. Anchoring the living area is a freestanding wood stove positioned before dramatic double-height, west-facing windows that bathe the interiors in natural light and frame views of the surrounding landscape. A generous front deck extends the living space outdoors, providing an inviting setting for entertaining against a backdrop of protected green space. Above features an open loft overlooking the living area and the third bedroom, complete with an ensuite bath and substantial storage. Combining thoughtful design, abundant natural light, and an enviable setting, this residence embodies the relaxed mountain lifestyle that defines Serene Lakes.
