Step into a lifestyle of ease, comfort, and quiet sophistication in this thoughtfully designed ranch style home in the Whispering Pines Patio Villas, a rare gem at the northern edge of Colorado's majestic Black Forest. Built by CalAtlantic Homes, every element blends elegance with practical luxury for discerning buyers seeking main level living without compromise. From the moment you approach the front porch, a sense of calm sets in. A gently sloped ramp leads to a true zero step entry, opening into a space defined by soaring 10 foot ceilings, 8 foot doors, and expansive windows that flood the home with natural light. What sets this home apart isn't just the smart floor plan, it's the elevated finishes, custom storage solutions throughout, and the thoughtful design of a laundry room that connects directly to the primary closet. It's the kind of layout that anticipates your needs before you think of them. Lovingly maintained by its original owners, this non-smoking, pet-free home reflects meticulous care and pride of ownership. Beneath its clean, timeless aesthetic lies a home built for living well: a fully finished basement with 9-foot ceilings, inviting spaces for both entertaining and retreat, and clever additions like a hidden sleeping nook that delights children (or grandchildren) and a tucked-away workspace perfect for quiet productivity. Step outside to enjoy two private, covered outdoor spaces with sunshades-ideal for year-round relaxation. Beyond your doorstep, explore rolling hills, miles of walking trails, and mature pines in a serene master-planned community bordering one of Colorado's last great forests. Best of all, the HOA covers snow removal and lawn care, offering true lock-and-leave convenience. Homes like this are rare. Not just beautiful-thoughtfully livable.
