The space
Garden Trails holds the distinction of being the very first home built in Mountain Shadows, a spacious four-bedroom retreat where eclectic character meets true Colorado mountain comfort, just a mile from Garden of the Gods.
🛋️ LIVING ROOM & DINING
Soaring vaulted ceilings and a stone-surround fireplace, decorative only, set a striking tone in this living room, where an eclectic gallery wall of framed art plays off cherry hardwood floors and a plush olive leather sectional with ottoman. A wrought-iron glass coffee table, patterned area rug, and large windows framing tree-lined views round out this bright, inviting space. Just off the living area, a wood dining table and upholstered chairs sit beneath a brass chandelier, framed by its own gallery wall of curated art, with a wood buffet for extra storage and sliding glass doors opening to the deck.
🍳 KITCHEN
The fully stocked kitchen pairs warm oak cabinetry with white countertops, stainless steel appliances, and built-in wine storage, complete with a complimentary coffee station with pods and a complimentary spice rack. A peninsula with seating and a window over the sink keep the space connected and bright, with a small desk nook tucked in for planning the day.

A wall-mounted TV pairs with a decorative hutch displaying a curated collection and a stately wood chest of drawers for extra storage, while comfortable seating and tile floors round out this relaxed second gathering space.

The spacious fenced backyard, complete with a greenhouse and garden, gives everyone room to roam, perfect for families and pets alike.
