Surrounded by natural beauty, this lovingly cared-for home offers a rare combination of space, privacy, and an exceptional outdoor lifestyle. Located in the desirable Richard's Lake neighborhood, it feels tucked away while remaining just minutes from Old Town Fort Collins, local breweries, and Fort Collins Country Club, with convenient access to I-25. A 10-minute stroll along community trails leads to a private lake with mountain views - the perfect setting for swimming, kayaking, paddleboarding, or canoeing. Inside, mature trees provide peaceful views from nearly every room. The open floor plan provides more than 2,400 square feet of above-ground living space across two levels. The living and dining rooms offer ample space for everyday living and entertaining, with a gas fireplace creating a warm gathering space. Upstairs, the expansive primary suite features room for a king-size bed, an adjacent sitting room, oversized walk-in closet, and private bath with double vanity. Three bedrooms offer privacy, while two additional rooms and a generous loft provide flexible space for an office, sitting room, or other needs. An 800-square-foot unfinished basement adds valuable storage and the opportunity to create the space you've been dreaming of; it is insulated and ready for your vision. Outside, the patio and mature trees create an exceptional setting for relaxing and entertaining. With flexible living spaces and easy access to the community trails and private lake, this is a home designed to be enjoyed.
