Just listed this wonderful 3 bed/3 bath home in the Willow Trace subdivision of Aurora South. The neighborhood sits among rolling hills with mature trees and lots of open space. I really like the floor plan as it lives large. The flow between kitchen/great room/living/dining is pleasing and open. Great room has fireplace and 5.1 Audiophile surround sound so guess whose hosting movie night? The master bedroom is huge, closets are bigger than my house ; ) and the second/third bedrooms are nice and roomy. Great loft space upstairs to keep the little ones close or use for study/gaming area. Over-sized two car garage with secure storage. Partial basement is insulated, plumbed and egressed; ready for your finish if you need more space and Cherry Creek Schools! This house is totally move in ready and I can get you into it for $1000! Click here for more info and the Virtual Tour. Nice to hear from you! Tracy www.tracyshaffer.com
