Modern Craftsman in Central Park North

One of ‘THOSE’ hot spots with BIG WIDE OPEN SPACES both inside and out! This modern craftsman, with design elements reminiscent of the Prairie Style of Stickley and Wright, is not only planted on a large pocket park, but also sits just a short block from the trails and sledding hills of the sweeping 80 acre Central Park. Facing west for full Colorado mountain views, this home stands tall with stacks of field stone, staggered shake inspired shingles, and board and batten trimmings. Yet once you move past the premium location, the handsome detailing, and a front porch that offers a front row seat to the greenspace out front, you’ll find the driveway loaded garages on this block offer not only extra parking and hopscotch space, but extra elbow room and deeper backyards too. 2021 live/work/learn needs are easily met when there’s a fully dedicated double sized office overlooking the park. The kitchen is wide open and the double ovens and the field of workspace on the giant island make feeding a full crew easy. Fetching gray island cabinets offer clever storage and breakfast space while keeping the cook connected to a pretty dining room with custom china storage, great room gatherings around a fireplace, and all the activity in both outside spaces. Five stars for functionality too with its extra 1⁄2 bay in the garage to use for a workbench, a pottery wheel, or just stowing outdoor toys. The garage’s service door to the backyard corrals muddy boots or paws while bags get hung or shoes get kicked off inside the attached drop zone. Upstairs are 4 full sized bedrooms, a HUGE airy loft, and a dedicated laundry room. And like the other upgrades, the bathrooms have been thoughtfully updated too. And then the outdoor space! Hard to forget the smart stamped concrete patio, or that outdoor fireplace. It’s TV cabinet lets you take in game or summer movie while you cook at the full al fresco kitchen with its built-in grill, storage, and refrigerator for those beverages. Fun fun fun!
