Nestled in the majestic Ponderosa Pines on 2.5 acres in
secluded Higby Estates, this stunning 6 bedroom, 5 bath, 4 car-garage home with
Pikes Peak views is ready for its next season. Private and quiet, this custom
home has a stamped concrete walkway that leads to a bubbling waterfall by the
front door. Entering the tiled foyer you are greeted by a curving staircase on
one side and a massive rock wall on the other. The formal dining room has oak
floors and is offset by pillars and a cross-beamed ceiling.
Continuing on the main floor is a large living room with
two-story floor to ceiling windows with accordion shades, a two-story rock gas fireplace,
alcoves, a tasteful Colorado mural, and is visually open to the second floor
through the wrought-iron railing.
The sizable tiled kitchen has two pantries with etched-glass
doors, granite countertops, two sinks, a double oven, 5-burner inset Thermador gas
stovetop in the large center island, a writing desk, knotty alder cabinetry, and
coffered ceilings. An informal dining area adjoins, as well as the adjacent
laundry room with tile floors and lots of storage.
From the informal dining space you access the tranquil Trex
deck patio that is plumbed for gas, crank shades for blocking afternoon sun,
and a relaxing fire pit.
There are two additional rooms on the main level. One is
currently used as a bedroom but could also be an office, parlor, or any number
of other uses. A separate room with a center island (next to a full bath) is
currently used as an office/craft room, but the island could be removed for an
additional bedroom or office.
The second floor opens with a huge loft overlooking the
living room and expansive windows with mountain views. There is a recessed
library alcove for relaxing. The large
master bedroom has a dual-sided fireplace with tile surround. Master bath is
separated with a passage door, has a jetted tub with fireplace, separate shower,
dual sinks with make-up seating, crown molding, and a massive walk-in closet
with built-in dressers.
There are two additional bedrooms on the second floor with a
common, dual-sink bathroom between them. Both bedrooms have large closets, one
has a recessed window, the other has a window seat.
The lower level has a large sitting area, a concrete-wall
security room with casino-grade security system (owner will leave written
instructions the operation of private surveillance), half bath with marble-topped
vanity, family room with fireplace, pool room with blue-felt pool table,
additional master bedroom with full bath and walk-in closet, granite wet bar
with seating or standing room, game table, under-stair storage, and an exterior
doorway to a lower-level stamped-concrete patio with fire pit and adjustable
shades. On this level is also a large 14-person theater room with leather
recliners with power and chargers, rope lights, and a 200” screen.
