10637 Echo Canyon Drive

On the Northeastern edge of Colorado Springs, just around the corner from Black Forest you'll find the community of North Fork. With walking trails and an excellent neighborhood elementary school and high school that you can also walk to, it feels like its own part of town while still being minutes from access to major roads like Powers & Hwy. 25. This lovely 2-story stucco and stone home called "Sierra" by locally renowned Classic Homes is built to be shared and enjoyed. You can enjoy the direct Pikes Peak views from the front porch or a friendly chat in the backyard under the pergola or around the firepit on a stamped concrete patio that is as wide as the home. Inside you will find delightful finishes that set this home apart from the monotone artificial materials that seem too common. Instead there are genuine, solid hardwoods in floors and cabinets accented by natural granite and warm earth tones. This kitchen is a cook's delight, with a gas range, full pantry, and plenty of tall cabinets & recessed lighting. In addition to the 5 bedrooms on two levels, you'll find the bonus room that can be enjoyed as an open office, a reading room, music room, or play room, which complements the main level living room, the upstairs loft with custom dual desks, and the large basement family room with extra-tall ceilings. There are mindful and attractive spaces for everything that you want to enjoy at home, from work spaces to play spaces, and from social areas to personal retreat spots. To top it all off, the primary bedroom upstairs is nearly 400 square foot of private space with an elevated tray ceiling, custom built desk nook, a walk-in closet, and a 5-piece bathroom that includes a double vanity, a soaking tub, and a generous stand alone shower. When you tour homes this week, save yourself some time and see this one first.
