643 1st Ave

A genius layout highlights this home's most impressive asset: its hillside views of the town of Lyons below, the pine-dotted foothills, and dramatic Longs Peak against an ever-changing sky. Above the first-floor entry and large rec room is a second-story main floor that maximizes those views from every room. You'll especially love the well-appointed kitchen (with a gas range and two pantries) and its bright, open flow to the living room, dining room and fireplace area-plus a deck with showstopping panoramas and a flagstone patio for gatherings in the fresh mountain air. This property backs to serene open land and enjoys a quiet, friendly community that looks out for one another. A main-floor office and powder room provide work-from-home convenience, while the top floor offers a private retreat in the spacious primary suite, complete with stunning views, a seating area, and a second fireplace. Two additional bedrooms, a bathroom, and a laundry room complete the upstairs. In one of Lyons' best locations, you'll be minutes from downtown and great schools, yet close to nature, with North Saint Vrain Creek, parks and trails (including Old 7, Picture Rock and Heil Valley Ranch) all nearby. For mountain adventures, you'll be just 20 minutes from Rocky Mountain National Park.
