This custom luxury home combines urban convenience with a tranquil, natural setting in the sought-after University Park subdivision. Specially designed to accentuate breathtaking views of Pikes Peak and the Front Range, this home backs to open space and is your mountain retreat in the heart of Colorado Springs. Exceptional craftsmanship is apparent throughout, from the hardwood floors and custom cherry cabinets to the built-in shelves, vaulted ceilings, and high-quality finishes. The lot is just over 2/3 of an acre and backs to open space, providing added privacy and unobstructed views. The home features four spacious bedrooms, four bathrooms, and an oversized three-car garage boasting a circular driveway for easy access and additional parking. Enjoy the sounds of a water feature in the front yard as you approach the entry. The home's main living area is an open-concept great room and kitchen. A cozy gas fireplace, custom built-ins, and a whole-house sound system set the scene for endless entertainment or relaxation, all against striking Pikes Peak views. There is a large dining room for those formal occasions and a niche area in the kitchen with a view for those less traditional meals. Additional conveniences abound, including a central vacuum system, a new furnace, and central AC, radiant heat, and even a doggy door for your four-legged friends. A dedicated office space with an adjacent ¾ bath on the main level offers a serene environment perfect for work or study. The luxurious owner's retreat includes a spa-like five-piece bathroom and opens onto a large covered deck overlooking open green space and the mountains. The walkout basement extends your living space, featuring a family room perfect for movies or pool games, while a wet bar, three more large bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and abundant storage complete the lower level. You will love this home if you search for luxury, privacy, and modern amenities in one of Colorado Springs' premier neighborhoods.
