Wow, first time ever on the market! This custom ranch with walkout basement sits on an over 1/2 acre lot bordered by a bridle path in the back, has been enjoyed by three generations, and is now looking for it's new owners. The main level open flooplan is perfect for entertaining: playing host to many Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners with extended family, team dinners for kids when they were in sports in high school, and birthday parties and dinners with friends. The lower level family room was the perfect location for numerous "dinner theater" nights with kids and grandkids. The large upper deck has space for eating outdoors and enjoying the weather and mountain views in the Spring, Summer and Fall (do you see the famous West-Arvada Sleeping Indian in the mountain?). The covered patio below adds another place to enjoy outdoor Colorado with a new view from the swing. There are five dwarf apple trees in the backyard that have produced a wonderful harvest of red and golden delicious apples each year. And there is plenty of room for flower and garden beds - let your creative mind go wild! BONUS: on the east side of the home is a hill that is fantastic for sledding in the winter. From this property there are so many ways to get on bike and walking paths. A favorite is up to Tucker Lake as it's always beautiful no matter what the season. In the Fall and Winter the water in the lake is down and you can search for crawdad shells in the dry part of the lake. In the Spring Tucker Lake fills up full and is beautiful. The roads and bike paths can take you to the top of the hill to the north, or south to the Ralston Creek trail that runs through West Woods Golf Course. If you're looking for a workout running, walking or on your bike, there are plenty of hills and valleys to explore. And just around the corner is the green grass and open space to enjoy at Quaker Acres Park. This neighborhood is unique and special-come take a look to see if this could be your next perfect home!
