How do you prioritize between a home that has everything you want, great schools that are very close by for your kids, and all the shopping you could ever want to do within 5 miles of home? This home might be your answer. Located in the Leawood Community of Littleton, Colorado, Leawood Elementary School is approximately 1/4 mile away, Ken Caryl Middle School is 2 miles away (bus available), and Columbine High School is 3 blocks away. Leawood Community Park is 2 blocks away, and has some really cool kid play areas, a baseball field, soccer field, and lots of space to play frisbee, football, laser tag, etc... This is one of the larger homes in this area. It's a 2-story with a full basement that is about 95% finished. It's fully "livable" space though, and that's where we spend a lot of time as a family. There's a bedroom and 3/4 bathroom there as well. This home has the type of high-dollar upgrades that really offer peace of mind in knowing that you have a sound foundation that will last a very long time, and is environmentally-friendly. Exterior upgrades include newer 30-year warrantied roof (2010), newer gutters (2010), vinyl siding, and very high-efficiency storm windows (2004). There's also a newer concrete patio out the East sliding door from a nice Sunroom (also not included in square footage for some reason) with skylights that faces South, and newer Trex synthetic deck out the West facing Sunroom sliding doors. Interior upgrades (2004-2012) include granite kitchen countertops, matching GE Profile stainless steel appliances. Main living area and upstairs consist of approximately 2,160 square feet, and the basement is approximately 873 square feet for a total of 3,033 square feet. There are Pergo hardwood floors throughout much of the main level (Kitchen, entryway, Sunroom). There is an office space off the kitchen dining area, and a fireplace in this room. There is a formal dining area off the kitchen, and a large family room helps open up this space.

You'll have some additional piece of mind knowing that you can pull that extra vehicle off the street and into the gravel area next to the 2-car driveway, or open the double gate and pull it beside the house. The garage has been extended by 12 feet off the back, and makes for a spacious storage area, workshop, or extra room to park a boat/other vehicle in the protection of your garage. The attic above the garage has nice a storage area as well, and there's a barn-style shed in the back measuring 12 x 10 with 2 levels of storage. It's got a beautiful yard area for a kids jungle-gym, swing set, trampoline, and the slight slope of the backyard makes for some really nice sledding without even leaving the comforts of home behind. There are also plenty of mature trees on this property that offer some terrific privacy as well as shade from the Summer sun.
