Discover a true icon in the highly desirable Applewood neighborhood—this custom-built Passive Solar Home blends eco-friendly efficiency with Old World European charm. Thoughtfully designed by its sole owner, this residence offers a unique blend of warmth, character, and hidden surprises throughout.

A Passive Solar Home is designed to maximize natural energy efficiency by harnessing the sun’s heat and light. This home features carefully placed windows, thermal mass materials, and a well-insulated design to regulate indoor temperatures year-round, reducing energy costs while maintaining comfort. Additionally, the home is equipped with fully owned solar panels, further enhancing its sustainability and lowering energy expenses.

Step into the breathtaking foyer, where vaulted ceilings and abundant natural light create a true "wow" moment. The stately office, enveloped in rich wood built-ins and featuring a cozy fireplace, provides an inspiring workspace. The formal dining room, spacious enough for a table of 12, is framed by elegant French doors that open to the outdoors, offering seamless indoor-outdoor entertaining.

The heart of the home, the kitchen, boasts a large island, expansive pantry, and a charming breakfast nook. In the living room, discover hidden treasures—a wine room concealed behind a bookshelf and a wet bar tucked inside an ornate hutch.

The expansive primary suite offers a walk-in closet, an ensuite bathroom with a skylight, and serene privacy. Upstairs, five additional bedrooms share two full bathrooms. Instead of a dark basement, the largest upstairs bedroom serves as an ideal recreation space.

The stunning sunroom not only provides a bright and inviting retreat but also plays a key role in the home's passive solar heating system, absorbing and distributing warmth throughout the home. Enjoy a unique feature—a built-in plunge pool—perfect for relaxation. Outside, dine under the shade of lush wisteria vines on the back patio, overlooking the large backyard with mature landscaping.

The property includes a spacious three-car garage with an attached workshop, plus a nod to its former horse property roots—repurposed old stables offering incredible storage and a versatile room that could serve as a separate office space.

Nestled in a prime Applewood location, this home is just minutes from premier recreational amenities. Enjoy membership at Rolling Hills Country Club, Applewood Golf Course, and Lifetime Fitness, all offering golf, fitness, swimming, and social opportunities. Nearby Maple Grove Park provides beautiful green space for outdoor activities, while Downtown Golden is a short drive away, offering charming local shops, eateries, and entertainment.

Outdoor enthusiasts will love the breathtaking views of North and South Table Mountain, with direct access to Clear Creek Trail and South Table Mountain’s hiking and biking trails just outside your door. The driveway offers ample space for RV parking, and Maple Grove Elementary is a cherished neighborhood school, making this an ideal home for all stages of life.

This one-of-a-kind home is ready to be transformed into your dream residence.
