This Applewood/Benthaven beauty is updated in all the right ways - furnace and A/C replaced in 2016, water heater replaced in 2022, roof (~$40K) replaced in 2017, updated 200 amp electrical panel replaced in 2016 and new engineered hardwoods throughout main and lower level! Don't let 26th scare you - it has a deep front yard (with a stunning Purple Ash) and the backyard is a perfect place to spend time. This is a unique and functional tri-level with mid-century touches like an original art deco clock in the kitchen, open risers on the stairs and intentional no baseboards on upper level. The main level features a flowing floorplan - ample sized entry that is open to the lower level and leads to the kitchen and dining area. On the other side, you'll find a large living room & beautiful sunroom that is flooded in natural light from its south-facing windows. Many creative ways to use this space! The kitchen features solid wood cabs, a gas cooktop, double oven, newer refrigerator, large pantry, a bar fridge and spacious dining area with a Tiffany-style fixture. Head upstairs to find an oversized Primary bedroom that could accommodate a lounge area, home office or dressing room - plus 2 closets. 2 additional secondary bedrooms on this level, both with nice closet storage. The full bath is smartly designed with two sides that can be closed off - one side is a tub and vanity, and the other side is a vanity and toilet so multiple people can get ready at the same time. Head to the lower level to experience a cozy family room with wood-burning fireplace, nice closet and crawlspace access and a 1/2 bath and laundry. Don't miss the deep, oversized 2-car garage with storage, and finally head out back to this peaceful retreat - newly refinished deck with cafe lights, a big Silver Maple, perennials & greenery, sprinkler system, a spacious grassy area and trampoline. This is the Colorado backyard you dream about - quiet, private and lots of natural beauty surrounding you!
