Some homes offer square footage. This one offers an experience. Sarah Susanka's renderings inspired local craftsman Tom Day to create a home where architecture embraces the landscape. Monument Creek flows below the property, Chautauqua Mountain fills the view, and 2.21 wooded acres become part of everyday life. Handcrafted alder millwork, custom glass transoms, bamboo flooring and built-ins reflect rare craftsmanship. The welcoming front porch leads to a home thoughtfully designed to live larger than its footprint. The kitchen features custom birch cabinetry, slab granite, an oversized island and a huge walk-in pantry, opening to a dining room with custom built-ins, a slab granite buffet and statement mirror before flowing into the living room with a gas fireplace. Visitors often remark on the spacious living areas, abundant storage and how the home lives far larger than its footprint. The composite deck includes a natural gas hookup for grilling. A main-level office with built-ins, spacious bedrooms, bonus spaces and a private guest suite with its own staircase from the garage provide flexibility. The walk-out lower level offers a wood-burning fireplace, wet bar, guest bedroom and full bath. Radiant heat, tankless on-demand hot water, whole-house audio, central vacuum, hardwired internet and additional rear parking continue the thoughtful design. Private trails lead to secluded sitting areas, a picnic table beside the creek and direct access to the Palmer Lake Reservoir Trail. Walk to Palmer Lake for kayaking, paddleboarding, fishing, disc golf or the shoreline trail, then cross the pedestrian bridge into town for coffee, restaurants and community events. Glen Park, with tennis, pickleball and playgrounds, is just around the corner. Wake to mountain views, spend the day in Palmer Lake, then return to your own trails, your own creek and your own quiet corner beneath the Milky Way. It's the rare opportunity to walk to town while still feeling secluded in the woods.
