Beautifully landscaped with clean architectural lines, this elegant ranch-style home is nestled within the private, gated 55+ community of La Scala. Designed for effortless main-level living, it also offers a spacious, fully finished lower level, perfect for guests, entertaining, or family visits. Upon entry, you'll immediately notice the attention to detail and quality craftsmanship throughout. Rich hardwood floors, coffered ceilings, and architectural design elements create a warm yet sophisticated atmosphere. The grand entry opens to a light-filled great room featuring newer Pella windows, a three-sided fireplace, and access to an oversized, partially covered deck which is ideal for outdoor relaxation and gatherings. The dining area flows seamlessly between the great room and kitchen. The gourmet kitchen is fully equipped with top-of-the-line appliances, oversized cabinetry, an enormous pantry, expansive slab countertops, and stylish designer finishes. The updated primary suite offers a serene retreat with a spa-like ensuite bath featuring a separate standalone shower, jetted tub, dual vanities, and a walk-in closet. A second main-level bedroom includes its own private full bath, while a dedicated study, half bath, and laundry room complete the main floor. The finished two-car garage, with treated floors, connects conveniently to the laundry room. The garden-level basement is equally impressive, boasting two large family rooms, a wall of custom cabinetry for an entertainment center, a wet bar, and a cozy gas fireplace. Two additional bedrooms share a connecting bath, and a large, finished space provides the perfect area for exercise, hobbies, or storage. Recent updates include a newer furnace, radon system, stucco exterior, tile roof, and windows. Ideally located near shopping, Quail Lake, and with easy access to I-25, Hwy 115, Fort Carson, and downtown, La Scala is a highly desirable community, truly an exceptional place to call home.
