Originally built for the builder-owner, this custom ranch-style home sits on 1.15 acres in the picturesque foothills of Golden in Lookout Mountain. Expansive eat-in kitchen with stunning wood cabinets and gorgeous granite will not leave you wanting for any additional counter space. This is a true chef's kitchen at its core. Views of surrounding foothills, sunlight, and spaciousness are the name of the game here, with floor-to-ceiling windows in the valuted open-concept kitchen/living area. A kitchen-adjacent bonus room as well as a formal dining room top off the eastern wing of the house, while the western wing is entirely dedicated to guest quarters -- including a bedroom, full bath, another living room, and a wet bar. The office sits in the middle of the home, southern-facing with luxurious sunlight year-round, with the rest of the bedrooms right next to each other nestled near the mountainside. The primary bedroom is a homeowner's dream with its own gas fireplace, huge walk-in closet, and impressive 5-piece bath. Out back, find a fire pit and fully fenced yard. Two decks -- one a wraparound -- put the finishing touch on this very functional and simultaneously grand home with unbeatable proximity to trails and nature. Just a 7-minute drive to I-70, a short commute to the mountains, and a 25-minute drive to downtown Denver, this property is a one-of-a-kind gem that offers both convenience and adventure opportunities without having to leave your own back yard. Enjoy immediate access to Beaver Brook Trail [leading to Chief Hosa to the west and the town of Golden to the east -- you can literally trek right from your doorstep to downtown Golden] and hundreds of acres of Clear Creek Nature Conservancy. Truly, this Spruce Road home is a mountain haven of quiet and serenity among beautiful wildlife [deer, elk, turkeys, and more] with the benefit of a stellar location that will never change. Welcome home!
