Experience the tranquility of this grand and gorgeous home from the minute you encounter the welcoming rock water feature at the entrance of the circular driveway. The stone and stucco façade has a touch of contemporary Japanese-inspired flair with its beautiful wooden gate and beam detail. Upon entry, you will see why this is the ultimate property for entertaining. The oversized, state-of-the-art kitchen—complete with stainless steel appliances, including two refrigerators, double oven with warming drawer, Thermador Professional 6-burner gas range with grill as well as water access to fill large pots, and hood with fan and warming lights—is a chef’s dream. Granite countertops, endless maple and cherry cabinetry, a center island with two sinks, and separate prep counter (with sink) are just waiting for the perfect host. There is also a gas fireplace and built-in TV with media shelving so you won’t miss the game while restocking the hors d’oeuvres. A pass-through pantry offers accessible and convenient storage. Also on the main level is an extremely large, bright and airy great room with hardwood floors, numerous built-ins, and two sets of double glass doors leading out to the oversized, fenced-in stone patio. Take in the breathtaking mountain views and glistening City Reservoir while barbecuing on your mega grill, relaxing around the fire pit, or soaking in your hot tub, which is located on a raised deck. Outdoor lighting provides amazing ambience. The open floor plan makes for an easy transition to the dining area for all your meals—from casual breakfasts to formal sit-down dinners. A first floor laundry room with Whirlpool Duet washer and dryer and sink makes cleanup a breeze, while a giant office with four workstations is ideal when it’s time to get down to business. And the mountain-facing windows are the perfect excuse to take frequent computer breaks. A main level half bath is great for guests. Step up from the main room to the carpeted master suite, featuring a peninsula gas fireplace (set in stone), two banks of triple windows for basking in the panoramic mountain views, and double doors that lead out to a second fenced-in patio. The modern en-suite bath features double sinks, a separate built-in vanity, large stone and tile shower in addition to a freestanding soaking tub. A walk-in closet offers generous storage with endless drawers and shelving. The second bedroom on this level also opens out onto the patio, allowing access to the aforementioned wooden gate and providing a private entrance—perfect for in-laws, grown children, and visitors alike. The adjacent full bath has a tiled tub and shower. On the second floor you will find a giant game or family room complete with sink and mini refrigerator as well as built-in media shelving. Step out onto the large balcony for wide-open La Plata views. Two additional bedrooms, each with an en-suite bath and two closets, round out this level. The giant 4-car garage has a heated epoxy floor, drain, built-in cabinets and countertops, which provide ample workspace, and plenty of room for gear. Two doors from the outside allow for easy access to the garage, while direct entry into the house’s mudroom is great for taking off (and stashing) snow or hiking boots, coats, and more. A basement could easily be turned into a “man cave” or “lady lair.” There are remote controlled ceiling fans and recessed lighting throughout. Forced heat and central air conditioning. No detail has been overlooked.
