This Stratford walkout rancher is perfectly situated on a premium lot that backs to a serene lake and open space in one of the most coveted neighborhoods in all of Monument. From top to bottom, no detail was overlooked in the thoughtful design and high-end upgrade selections throughout from instant hot water to a reverse osmosis water system. A covered front porch and a formal entry opens into a beautifully designed formal dining room with custom arches, leading seamlessly into the expansive great room and gourmet kitchen. The great room concept is both open and inviting, featuring millrun hickory floors, a dramatic stacked stone fireplace, and a wall of windows with motorized bluetooth blinds that frame unmatched lake and mountain views, allowing natural light to pour in. The chef’s kitchen is a showstopper, complete with a massive solid granite slab island, premium appliances, a bright breakfast nook, and direct access to the covered custom deck—perfect for enjoying the panoramic scenery. The main level offers a spacious secondary bedroom and a luxurious master suite with stunning views and a spa-like 5-piece bath. Entering from the oversized garage, you'll find a convenient mudroom/laundry room outfitted with matching cabinetry and a functional folding area. A custom extra-wide stairwell with wrought iron balusters and hardwood railing leads you to the fully finished walkout lower level, where a large rec/media room awaits, complete with a wet bar featuring granite counters, tumbled marble backsplash, and a built-in wine fridge. From here, step outside to a massive 49' x 19' patio with a beautiful water feature, fire pit, outside gas stout, hot tub, and breathtaking views, making this level ideal for entertaining and wired for surround sound inside and out. The garage is oversized with a 4 ft extension and a backyard access door. This home is a rare gem and an extraordinary find—and truly feels practically brand new.
