Find yourself in the great room of this 4850 square foot house which includes a large kitchen with huge island/bar seating, a gorgeous live-edge acacia wood table (milled locally) that seats 10-12, and living room featuring wood burning fireplace. There are a few steps up as you enter from the porch or garage but other than that the main level doesn't require walking on stairs to get to the kitchen, dining room, bedrooms, and bathrooms. The main level has 5 bedrooms including a master with ensuite bath at the end of the hall, 3 hall bedrooms with easy access to a large hall bath, and a "back bedroom" and accompanying hall bath for those who want to sleep a little further from the action, near the laundry room. Walk downstairs to the lower level and you'll see the downstairs lounge room including comfy sectional couches, a large TV, a full kitchen, and plenty of seating at a both dining bar-height tables, as well as a pool table flanked by two stately ceramic deer trophies. The lower dining area walks out to a large patio under the deck with access to the back yard. Down the hall there are 4 more bedrooms. One of the bedrooms is kid-themed room with bunk beds! These rooms share one bath with a shower. The home sits on over a half acre acre lot with 10 acres of wooded city park backing up to the property; Union Open Space trail-head is located on the corner of the lot leading to hundreds of miles of trails great for hiking, running, and biking. Take a walk on the trails or the three cul-de-sacs and enjoy the charming homes and wonderful landscaping of the neighborhood. The retreat backs to Union Meadows Open Space where you can walk, run, or bike for miles (including connecting to the city's famed Palmer Park), or for more contemplative walkers just step outside the back yard and wander deer trails among the ponderosa pines, junipers, and cottonwood trees while discovering limestone formations and rose quartz, all within a few minutes of the house.
