Garden lovers and bird watchers- this is your sanctuary. Directly across from Lake Sherwood, this light-filled Fort Collins home offers a rare blend of natural beauty, thoughtful updates, and everyday comfort. At its heart is a fully renovated kitchen featuring new appliances, expanded pantry storage, and a warm cherry wood peninsula-both functional and inviting for cooking, gathering, and daily life.

Step outside into a truly special backyard: a private, tree-sheltered retreat with no direct views into neighboring homes. The mature landscape is rich and layered, with abundant roses, a diverse array of perennial flowers, spring bulbs, ornamental grasses, and flowering shrubs.

A dedicated herb garden awaits the home chef, while two south-facing raised beds provide ideal space for growing vegetables. Birds are frequent visitors, making this yard a peaceful, living sanctuary. With 2,525sqft, the multi-level layout includes a bright living room, formal dining area, and a cozy lower-level family room with wood-burning stove.

Upstairs are three comfortable bedrooms, while the basement offers spacious flex space (non-conforming 4th bedroom) with a nearby 3/4 bath-perfect for guests, hobbies, or a home office. The current owner has invested over $150K in updates, including a newer roof (2019), heat pump, three skylights, transom windows and patio doors, radon mitigation s

ystem (2025), whole-house attic fan, updated sprinkler system, and professionally designed landscape. Outdoor living is easy with two patio spaces, seating around a fire pit, retractable sunshade and clothesline, and a potting bench. Enjoy the peaceful ambiance, often accompanied by the gentle sound of a nearby fountain.

Just steps from Lake Sherwood, residents enjoy non-motorized recreation including paddle boarding, kayaking, sailing, fishing, and scenic walking paths. A rare opportunity to live surrounded by beauty, privacy, and nature-welcome home. Information deemed reliable; buyer & agent to verify.
