Escape to the mountains in beautiful Cascade, Colorado just 12 miles from Colorado Springs and 1.5 miles from the entrance to Pikes Peak Highway. Feel the peace and serenity of mountain living in this well maintained raised ranch with stunning mountain views and abundant wildlife. Some of the many upgrades include recessed lighting in the kitchen and family room; ceiling fans in most rooms; upgraded flooring; Jacuzzi tub in upper bath along with a separate tiled shower. The updated kitchen offers stainless steel appliances to include built-in double ovens, 5-burner gas cook-top, garbage disposal, granite countertops and tiled flooring. Other flooring includes hardwood, tile, and new carpeting. Mendota gas fireplace inserts were installed this year in both the upper living room and lower family room. The lower level family room also boasts knotty pine walls and ceilings and a beautiful triple pane bay window. Double and triple pane replacement windows have been installed throughout. This is a home you will truly appreciate.
