Step inside to a welcoming, oversized living room anchored by the striking moss rock fireplace—a cozy focal point perfect for gathering on cool evenings. Throughout the home, you’ll find solid wood built-ins, extensive hallway storage, authentic wood wainscoting, and craftsmanship you simply don’t see anymore. The separate dining area is perfect for family meals, while the updated kitchen features modern appliances, refreshed cabinetry, and updated windows that fill the space with natural light. The spacious primary bedroom offers comfort and privacy, while two additional bedrooms provide flexibility for guests, an office, or hobby space. Notable improvements include HVAC updated just a few years ago, newer roof, and newer appliances—providing comfort, efficiency, and peace of mind. Outdoor living is equally impressive. A 29’ x 9’ screened-in back porch creates the perfect spot for morning coffee or evening relaxation, protected from the elements. Step into the backyard and enjoy your own private retreat with a sparkling in-ground pool, making this home ideal for summer entertaining or as a highly desirable short-term rental destination. With a large lot offering room for gardening, outdoor activities, or future enhancements—and a location close to Fruita’s shops, dining, events, and world-class recreation—this property checks every box for lifestyle and investment.
