If you've been waiting for that "perfect single story" listing, the time is now! This listing is in Mesa Verde's best neighborhood, the Upper Bird Streets! This classic 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom, single story of more than 1800 square feet has been lovingly cared for over 50 years by the same family. Many wonderful memories were created here, and now this home is ready for its next family to write the next amazing chapter. You are greeted with a bright entrance looking out into an open atrium. It features warm dark wood flooring throughout the main living areas and bedrooms. Recent improvements include dual pane windows, new interior doors and hardware, elegant moulding, central heating and A/C, and a newer composition roof (2020). The kitchen features classic white cabinetry with ample storage, stainless steel appliances, and a smart electric cooktop to take care of energy savings. Adjacent to the kitchen is a warm dining room with a large, square panel accent wall, updated chandelier and a beautiful bay window that looks out to the side yard and garden. The spacious family room has plenty of natural light, seating room, a central fireplace, and updated dual pane windows with plantation shutters. Each of the secondary bedrooms has great space and deep closets. The primary bedroom sits near the front of the home with plenty of room for a large bed, night tables and features dual closets. Also, electric shades provide privacy with the touch of a button. The primary bath was recently updated with a large walk-in shower and custom vanity. The backyard and side yard areas have plenty of usable space. The side yard, nearest the dining area, has a walk out patio with a built-in barbeque with lots of shade and sitting area on the patio. There is a large grass strip in the rear yard, and another side yard that also has great potential-perhaps a future garden? Lots of good storage in the home as well, especially in the 2 car garage. Don't forget this neighborhood is close to grocery stores, target, Costco, Starbucks, provides easy access to 17th Street, and has amazing walking and nature paths in adjacent Fairview Park.
