1225 Orchard RD Golden, CO 80401

Welcome to Ashwood in Golden, Colorado, a small private area tucked off Orchard Road. Quiet. Peaceful. The kind of place where the world slows down a little. The house sits on a fully fenced 0.60-acre lot, which is a lot of land unless you're a horse. For humans, it feels wonderfully spacious. The home is Mid Century Modern and two stories tall. It was custom built and it shows. The rooms are big. Not just big for a house—big for life. The floor plan is open, which means people can cook, talk, laugh and dine all in the same space without bumping into each other. The kitchen is serious business. Solid surface countertops. Stainless steel appliances. A Viking gas range for ambitious cooking. A Bosch dishwasher for the aftermath. A refrigerator to keep the groceries cold and the ice plentiful. There's a study on the main floor if you have work to do, a book to write, or need a quiet place to hide for a while. Upstairs you'll find the primary suite. The primary bath is spa-like, which means you may linger here longer than expected. There's a bonus room upstairs with two enormous 20-foot closets, which should satisfy even the most enthusiastic collectors of things. The three-car garage includes a rear door that lets you pull straight through to the backyard. Very practical. Humans appreciate practicality. Outside from the great room, a flagstone patio and your private saltwater pool and spa. There's also a covered outdoor area designed for relaxing, thinking deep thoughts, or doing absolutely nothing at all. The yard is beautifully landscaped, with a side herb garden for people who enjoy cooking with ingredients that were alive moments earlier. In the back there's an outbuilding for the owner's chickens, fenced separately so the chickens can live their chicken lives in peace. Location matters too. Close to I-70, E-470, and 6th Avenue, which means getting around is easy and shopping and restaurants are nearby if you decide not to cook on that Viking range.
