Listed by RealiFi Realty, Inc.
for $499,000 with 2 bedrooms and 2 full baths. This 1,248 square foot home was built in 1953 on a lot size of 0.33.
Beautifully updated mountain cabin with refined, designer details that set it apart. Set on a generous 1/3-acre lot bordering Strawberry Creek, this 2-bedroom, 2-bath home offers the kind of peaceful, storybook setting that's hard to find and even harder to leave. From the moment you arrive, the property captivates. A brand-new slat panel semi-private fence frames the front yard where mature pines, fragrant lilacs, and a handsome maple create a welcoming canopy. The concrete path leads you to a covered front porch, your new favorite spot to slow down and breathe in the mountain air. Step inside to an open, airy layout where the living, dining, family, and kitchen areas come together naturally. Warm pine-paneled walls and a classic red brick fireplace give the space that cozy, cabin-in-the-mountains character, while thoughtful updates keep it feeling fresh and current. Three sliding glass doors line the back of the home, bathing every corner in natural light and providing seamless access to the back deck. The primary suite offers a quiet escape with its own private bath. A second oversized bedroom affectionately called the bunkhouse is built for guests, with room to sleep many, a full bath, and a convenient laundry closet. Whether you're hosting a full family or a group of friends, everyone has a place here. The list of improvements is impressive: new laminate wood flooring throughout, fresh paint inside and out, new wood trim, updated interior and exterior light fixtures, stylish wallpaper accents, a fully repaired and repainted deck and new fencing with gates front and back. A new smart thermostat ties it all together letting you preheat the cabin from your phone on the drive up in winter, or keep an eye on things remotely when you're back in the city. Out back, Strawberry Creek runs along the property and the sound of it from the deck is nothing short of magical. Come evening, the frogs join in, and the whole world seems to quiet down. The neighbors here are the kind that actually look out for each other, making this feel less like a vacation home and more like a real community. A stones throw to Alpaca Coffee, Mile High Cafe, Pharos Gym, and the local school. The Arts Academy is just minutes away. Whether you're looking for a full-time residence, a weekend getaway, or a mountain investment, 53250 Meadow Dr checks every box. Properties like this don't come along often.. come see it for yourself.
