Laura Daniels, Team Pagosa Realty Group, C:,,: Custom single level dream home with expansive views of Pagosa peaks. First-choice lot and first house built at Pagosa Lakes Ranch, this home has the feeling of being in the woods, but is less than a mile from Uptown's great amenities: shopping, restaurants, City Market, and Pagosa Medical Center.The house is a beauty, freshly painted inside and out with the exterior wood sidingre-stained and protected. Thanks to its excellent airflow, high ceilings, and 32 windows, the entire house is light and bright. Lots of built-in storage drawers and cabinets throughout. Primary bathroom has an extra large roll-in shower built to ADA standards. Ramps are used for elevation changes. Two large decks extend the living spaces.The kitchen features a long wrap-around black granite countertop that lets the chef work easily on three sides. Picture this: your morning coffee while watching hot air balloons drift slowly skyward.A big *Bonus Room* (former garage) with half bath can be used for guests, a studio, workshop, or playroom. Just outside, the driveway curves like a horseshoe, so there's no need to back up. Opposite the three-car garage and expansive driveway, the hillside slope makes for fun sledding in winter, then becomes a seasonal pond for migrating birds and wildlife in the spring. You can live close to nature here and know that civilization has your back.
