Some homes are distinguished by size, others by setting; this remarkable two-story residence offers both. Positioned directly along the Art Cowsen Trailhead and the Trinity Trail System, the property enjoys a rare backyard connection via private gate to miles of parkland, walking trails, trees, and native wildlife. Three living areas and two dining areas provide distinct spaces where family and guests can gather without ever feeling crowded. Just inside the entry, the formal living and dining rooms are each framed by their own bay windows, creating a handsome and light-filled introduction to the home. The exceptionally spacious kitchen was designed with the home chef in mind. A large island, double ovens, workspace, and an efficient layout make it equally suited for preparing family dinners or hosting a house full of guests. The breakfast nook, set within a charming bay window, fills the kitchen with light and creates an inviting place for morning coffee and casual meals. The family room is truly substantial, with lots of space and a welcoming fireplace. There is also a cleverly placed dry-bar closet that adds convenience and function when entertaining. Together, these spaces create a natural progression of gathering spaces, deal for large celebrations, holiday dinners, or relaxed evenings with friends. Upstairs are four bedrooms and an impressive game room situated above the garage. The game room offers space, flexibility, and abundant storage, making it well suited for a media room, playroom, home gym, studio, or additional family retreat. The primary suite feels like a private escape, complete with its own fireplace and a balcony overlooking the trees and natural beauty beyond the backyard. An exceptional setting for beginning the morning with coffee or ending the day in quiet seclusion. Large, well planned, and wonderfully connected to the outdoors, this home offers the kind of space people search for and the kind of location that seldom becomes available.
