A second bedroom also offers direct access to the backyard and pool through a sliding door. The master bathroom features a luxurious walk-in shower, while a full guest bathroom has been tastefully remodeled. The backyard is an entertainer's dream, with no neighbors to the left or behind, offering privacy and serenity. The swimming pool has been updated with a modern Pebble Tec finish, providing a refreshing retreat during warm days. The kitchen is charming, equipped with quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, custom-finished cabinetry, and a unique tile backsplash. Casa De Contenta truly stands as a piece of art, lovingly designed with personality and charm. Additionally, the home's location is a standout feature, situated adjacent to the entry of Smallwood Park, a popular Mesa Verde park known for its excellent playgrounds and basketball courts. It is also conveniently near the exclusive Mesa Verde Country Club, as well as a variety of shopping and dining options. Discover the perfect blend of tranquility, creativity, and community living in this remarkable home. This is your opportunity to be only the second family to call it your own in over 65 years!
