Property Description

Beautiful landscaping, views of Palmer Park’s dramatic bluffs, and indoor and outdoor living spaces that work together make this Highland Hills home a special find. Dozens of perennials line the walk to a tiled entry that opens into a generous living room, with a gas fireplace at one end, a floor-to-ceiling built-in bookcase at the other, and a wide picture window on the front of the house. The kitchen has abundant cabinet space, a built-in desk, and a breakfast nook, and the dining room makes it easy to bring the outdoors in with a slider to the back yard. Up a short flight, the primary has room for a sitting area, a walk-in closet fitted with built-ins, and a bath with two vanities and a glass walk-in shower. Down a short flight, the family room has a second gas fireplace and a slider straight out to a timber-beamed covered patio. From there the brick-and-stone courtyard opens up, with a waterfall pond, an outdoor fireplace, and a refrigerator under the counter so a cold drink never means a trip inside. A detached shed with power and a loft adds workshop space. Plantation shutters run throughout, and radiant baseboard heat, triple-pane windows, added insulation, and a two-year-old Class 4 roof keep the house comfortable and efficient. Next to the Colorado Springs Country Club and a short walk from Palmer Park, this home puts scenic trails and striking sandstone formations close to home.
