Mountain Living at its BEST! Close to conveniences, yet a world away in an oasis nestled in the pines. El Pinal is sought after for its accessibility to EVERYTHING. Head out of your neighborhood & hop onto Hwy 74. Turn north-it’s only a few minutes to I-70 or go south to enjoy the quintessential shops & eateries in downtown Evergreen. Elk Meadow is just across the road for hiking/biking. Echo mountain—a mere 25 minute drive to be on the slopes! Enjoy the lake all year from fishing to ice skating/hockey. As you head home, turn onto the secluded dead-end street at the base of the Rodeo grounds. The private driveway on the side of a hill welcomes you into peaceful surroundings where the hustle & bustle can be left behind. Step into the grand living area w/ vaulted ceilings & tons of natural light. The stone fireplace will keep you warm on winter nights & opens to the dining area w/ a turn into the updated kitchen that has vaulted ceilings & plenty of prep space on granite counters. A beautiful view of the mountainside as you do the dishes. Step out onto the wrap around deck—so many different nooks to enjoy the sunrise or sunset. The primary suite has a sliding door for easy access to wake up & step out to enjoy your jacuzzi hot tub year round in the privacy of your secluded lot that backs to private undeveloped acreage. There are three bedrooms upstairs as well as two bathrooms & laundry. Head downstairs to find another stone fireplace in the family room—perfect for a home theater or cozy reading area. There is a 3/4 bath and two more bedrooms downstairs, one with an open wall w/ counter area that could be used as a bar or set up as a home gym/office space. New carpet and paint keeps the lower area feeling fresh. The attached garage will keep your car out of the elements & has an extended work area w/ shelving and storage. Additionally, there is a storage shed & extra parking near the driveway. This inviting mountain retreat is sure to please & won’t last long!
