Light, bright, & inviting, this open ranch home blends classic 1960s charm with thoughtful modern updates. Just west of CSU, grocery stores, & all the lively restaurants along West Elizabeth, the location couldn't be better for those who love to eat out. Outdoor enthusiasts will also appreciate being only minutes from the foothills, trails, & Horsetooth Reservoir. Inside, refinished original hardwood floors welcome you into the first of two spacious living areas. The open layout flows naturally into an eat-in dining space & a remodeled kitchen featuring quartz countertops, refinished cabinetry, newer textured tile flooring, and modern appliances. Off the kitchen are the laundry area, a convenient half bath, & easy access to both the backyard & the attached garage. A few steps down, you'll find a wonderful second living room-complete with built-in shelving & a wood-burning fireplace. It's the perfect spot to relax, watch a movie, or gather with friends. Sliding doors open directly onto the back patio, making summer barbecues & evenings in the backyard a breeze. The home offers three comfortable bedrooms. The primary suite has space for a king bed & connects to an updated full bathroom with dual sinks, tub, & shower. The second bedroom is also extra roomy, easily accommodating a queen bed, while the third bedroom works beautifully as a guest space or home office. Recent upgrades make this home not only charming, but smart & efficient: in August a brand-new Class 4 Owens Corning roof was installed, the siding was overhauled, & the entire exterior was professionally repainted. Newer double-pane windows further boost efficiency. Add in the attached garage, washer & dryer, new stove & fridge backyard shed, gardening area, & radon mitigation system, & you have a home that is as practical as it is appealing. Pre-inspected, cute as a button, & move-in ready - this west Ft Collins gem is one you won't want to miss. Click on the Video & Virtual tour for a closer look!
