6120 Aspen WAY Manitou Springs, CO 80829

SPECTACULAR! is the only way to describe this very special property on a private cul-de-sac up at the top of the exclusive gated community of Crystal Park. Passing the manned guard house, you will experience unbelievable scenery & views on Crystal Park Rd, deemed "the world's most wonderful scenic mountain auto trip" by a 1910 travel brochure. Pulling into your paved driveway, you will pass your picnic table tucked into the aspens by a live stream and multiple trailheads through the adjoining HOA open space leading to Pike National Forest, Cameron Cone and the east flank of Pikes Peak. Exiting your car, you will catch your breath as you take in the wondrous sights, sounds and scents of true mountain living among the soaring conifers, shimmering aspen groves, towering rock formations and panoramic views. Oh, and there's a darling chalet-style log and cedar-sided lodge waiting to welcome you home with the perfect balance of traditional alpine cabin features and all the amenities and upgrades you'd expect in a modern home. The entire lower level has been masterfully converted into a spacious master suite that walks out to a 250+ sq ft, east-facing deck, perfect for viewing sunrises with your morning coffee. In addition to the adjoining full bath are a sitting area, an office, laundry space with sink, several large closets and storage spaces and a pellet stove. The newly remodeled main-level kitchen features additional cabinet and counter space, block counters and gunmetal stainless appliances. The dining area completes this spacious great room, and both walk out past the cozy wood stove through large sliders to the upper deck overlooking the gorgeous valley and the city below, perfect for indoor/outdoor entertaining. 2 more bedrooms and a full bath complete the main level. Perched above all this is the private living room with gorgeous red oak flooring, tongue and groove ceilings and views to the east and west. Truly must see to believe, don't let this one slip by.
