The kitchen boasts modern updates, including a gas range and granite countertops, perfect for cooking and entertaining. The main-level primary bedroom includes an en-suite bath and direct access to the deck.

Practical features include a well with a new pump, wiring, and pipe installed in summer 2023, a UV sterilizer for safe drinking water, and heated waterlines to prevent freezing in winter. Set on nearly two acres atop Storm Mountain, this three-bedroom, two-bathroom home combines privacy and convenience, located just 16.1 miles from Estes Park.
