Pride of Ownership on One of Orchard Gate's Best Lots

Lovingly cared for by its original owners since day one, this Orchard Gate home sits on one of the neighborhood's most coveted lots, tucked on a quiet cul-de-sac with mature trees and a large, private backyard in the Cherry Creek School District.

Everything above the basement was renovated top to bottom, including a complete main-level remodel in 2019: the expanded kitchen, engineered acacia hardwood floors, a renovated powder bath and a new gas fireplace in the formal living room. Upstairs, the primary bath was fully renovated with heated floors and custom tile work.

Walk to High Plains Elementary and the Orchard Gate tennis courts, with quick access to I-25, I-225, light rail, the DTC, The Landmark and Cherry Creek State Park.

A Word from the Seller

Why We Love Our House(and You Will Too!)

We have loved our home since, as a young couple so many years ago, we excitedly picked the lot in a great neighborhood on a quiet street and tucked-away cul-de-sac. What a wonderful home this has been for our family, from watching it being built to now, with so many memories: kids walking right up the block to school with their friends, riding bikes all over the neighborhood and running across Dayton Street to Silo Park for all the adventures there. For us, the convenience and easy access to the highway and all the nearby shopping and dining has been the best of both worlds.

Entertaining in our home, whether inside or out (or both!), is easy and fun and has always been a favorite pastime. We have enjoyed so many wonderful occasions with family and friends at all times of the year, and for every event or celebration, which we will always cherish.

But our very favorite is our big, beautiful backyard. It has been the site of a lot of activity through the years, including a very small ski slalom course built during a snowy winter. In the summer, the flower garden, vegetable beds, raspberry patch and the fairy garden we added for our grandkids have been enjoyed by generations. We will really miss our special, peaceful time sitting on the patio, looking out over our big lawn with a beverage, listening to the birds sing and watching the hummingbirds fly. It was such a nice way to end the day.

Level by Level

Warm, Open & Made for Entertaining

Engineered acacia hardwood runs throughout the main level, which was completely remodeled in 2019. The kitchen was expanded with all-new cabinetry, quartz countertops (2019), a Kenmore Elite refrigerator, a Kenmore Pro microwave and gas range, and a Miele dishwasher (2019). A newly added island has seating, and an open counter seating area extends off the opposite side.

Two sets of French doors open to the patio, filling the main level with light and making for a great flow when entertaining. The family room centers on a gas fireplace with an open-flame look, and a gas fireplace added in 2019 anchors the formal living room. A formal dining room, renovated powder bath and main-floor laundry and mudroom off the garage complete the level.
