Golden, CO 80403 9287 Ute Dr

Welcome to your Colorado mountain retreat in coveted Blue Mountain Estates - where 3.5 acres of meadows, mature trees & sweeping foothill views create the kind of privacy & serenity that simply can't be replicated. This thoughtfully maintained split-level sits quietly among the pines, just 15 minutes from Golden/Boulder and 25 minutes to Denver, yet feels a world away. The south-facing orientation lets the sun do the heavy lifting - warming the entry, melting snow naturally, and flooding the home with light. Recent exterior upgrades - all-new siding, fresh paint, new gutters, and an enhanced back patio - pair with a 50-year architectural roof (2017) and Andersen low-e double-pane windows for lasting curb appeal & efficiency. Inside, high ceilings and abundant natural light welcome you home. The updated eat-in kitchen is a showstopper - slab granite island, generous counter space, eating bar, stainless steel appliances, custom cabinetry, decorative backsplash, walk-in pantry, and a huge picture window overlooking the property. Wired for stereo sound and flowing openly into the formal dining room and living area - made for gathering. Upstairs, three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and upper-level laundry make daily life easy. The primary suite is a true retreat, with a versatile bonus room nearby for an office, sitting area, or craft room. Interior walls are insulated for sound dampening between rooms. The walk-out lower level delivers a generous family room - wired for sound & warmed by a wood-burning fireplace with a functional flue cap. A half bath & practical mudroom entry from the garage complete this level. Five zones of baseboard hot water heat keep every level comfortable. Ample storage in the crawlspace & above the kitchen accessed from the foyer. The lot features level, usable space for activities and play - this home isn't perched on a mountainside. Colorado comes alive here - deer, elk, wild turkeys, and endless sky. This is Colorado living at its finest.
