507 Red Thistle Drive, Highlands Ranch, CO 80126

Designed by Godden Sudik and built by Berkeley Homes and located in the gated community of Backcountry. Nestled on a cul-de-sac with mountain views, within walking distance of Solstice Park and Stone Mountain Elementary, offering craftsmanship and incredible updates. The two-story entry opens to an expansive wall of windows bringing the outdoors inside. Privately located near the entry is an office with built-ins and floor-to-ceiling windows and a half bath with timeless finishes. The kitchen features quartz countertops, extensive cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, an oversized island with counter stool seating, and a newly added second oven. The owners entry has newly added locker-style cabinets and a walk-in pantry. The kitchen opens to the family room with a floor-to-ceiling fireplace and built-in bookshelves. The open dining room is surrounded by walls of windows and all of these spaces open to a covered patio with a tongue-and-groove ceiling. The owners have transformed the backyard, adding retaining walls for a level lawn, large steps from the porch to the patio, a sidewalk connecting the front and back of the home, and a new patio with a gas fire-pit. Upstairs, the primary suite has abundant light and a spa-like ensuite bath with a freestanding tub, glass-enclosed shower, dual sinks, and a walk-in closet. Three additional bedrooms and two full baths complete the upper level (the newly added bedroom suite upstairs makes this home a rare 5-bd, 5-bath home!). The lower level offers a flex room, a second family room with a built-in and beverage refrigerator, and a bedroom with an ensuite three-quarter bath. The unfinished spaces are home to the hot water heater, furnace and a newly added Aprilaire 800 steam whole-home humidifier. Backcountry residents enjoy resort-style amenities, including a clubhouse with fitness center, a pool and hot tub, parks, an amphitheater, miles of trails, and a coffee shop. Interior professional photos will be uploaded next week.
