Applewood Knolls has long been known as the "sleeper" neighborhood, where "community" still thrives, the pride of ownership is apparent (even though there is no HOA) and the" Knolls" neighborhood is listed as one of the top neighborhoods of Lakewood. VERY SELDOM do homes here become available, and let alone one of the best streets in the neighborhood "Applewood Knolls Drive AND with ROCKY MOUNTAIN VIEWS!!! This stunning rambling ranch style home has so many amazing features it will be sure to check most of your boxes. Let's start with the 2 jaw dropping water features and move on from there. The previous owner had ties with the Botanical gardens--and the landscaping alone is unparalleled. There is a rock water fountain and coffered shrubbery right inside the private gated courtyard at your front door. This is a preamble to the private and treed oasis that is created in your backyard. True gardeners will appreciate the plantings which were purposefully sown to have color and blooms throughout the seasons and tranquil is what best describes the .22 area lot where all will gather. The interior has generous size rooms and the must have open floorplan. The kitchen is accented with beautiful new skylights, which let natural light stream in and bounce off the newer quartz countertops and the oversized kitchen island. The Master Suite is sectioned so that the walk in closet and water closet are inside the Master suite, yet away from the bed. The totally finished walk-out lower level is set up to embrace the large footprint, with spacious room sizes and multiple windows/doors all letting an abundance of natural light stream through (all taking advantage of the picturesque gardens, (no artwork is needed), The west facing orientation makes sunsets a premium and privacy prevails. Easy commute to Boulder, (30 min) Downtown Denver (20 min), retail on Youngsfield & Colfax, and bus routes and lite rail just steps away. This home is priced to sell this weekend.
