Experience Colorado living in this exceptional ranch-style residence, perfectly positioned in the prestigious Forest Lakes community of Monument. Here, panoramic views of the lake, mountains, and city lights create a breathtaking backdrop for everyday life.

Inside, rich hardwood floors flow through the main level, creating warmth and beauty. The kitchen was designed for both everyday living and entertaining, featuring stainless steel appliances, double ovens, a gas cooktop, soft-close cabinetry, and an oversized island that invites gathering. A pantry provides ample storage, and a butler's pantry--currently enjoyed as a coffee bar--adds function and charm. The great room is inviting and elegant, centered around a cozy gas fireplace with custom built-ins, while the dining area opens to a covered composite deck with picturesque views.

The main-level primary suite is a peaceful retreat filled with natural light. The ensuite bath features dual vanities, a large walk-in shower, private water closet, and a generous walk-in closet with custom cedar shelving and direct access to the beautifully finished laundry room. A secondary bedroom and full bath on the main level offer flexibility for a guest suite or home office, while the formal dining room--currently enjoyed as a sitting area--adds an extra layer of versatility. Downstairs, expand your living space with a large family room, 2 additional bedrooms, full bath, and tons of storage.

Step outside and indulge in the art of outdoor living. The walk-out basement opens to a serene, covered patio with hot tub surrounded by lush, custom landscaping -- complete with a dedicated herb garden and a handcrafted wood-burning fireplace for evenings by the fire under Colorado's star-filled sky.

The thoughtfully finished and insulated garage with epoxy floors and a lower-level rough-in for an in-law suite or guest quarters provide versatility and future opportunity, making this home as functional as it is beautiful.
