Nestled in the heart of Montaine, Castle Rock's premier 55+ community, this nearly new Whitley model ranch blends modern comfort with effortless elegance. Just steps away from the clubhouse. Very gently lived in, this home is better than new with many upgrades not found in builder models or neighboring homes; upgraded window treatments, custom build mud room to name a few. Sunlight spills into the open living space, where a sleek kitchen--quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances--flows seamlessly into the dining and family rooms. A cozy fireplace and built-in cabinets invite quiet evenings or lively gatherings. The primary suite is a retreat, complete with a spa-like walk-in shower and generous his and hers closet spaces. A second bedroom and a versatile study offer room to dream, work, or welcome guests. An unfinished basement is great for storage, or additional living space to finish out. Outside, the extended patio offers additional entertaining or dining space, framed by fresh landscaping. With resort-style amenities--pickleball courts, a clubhouse, a fitness center, organized community events and an outdoor pool--this is more than a home. It's a lifestyle.
