Property Description
If you’ve been dreaming about the kind of life where your weekends are filled with trail rides, patio dinners, live music, farmers markets, and sunsets against the Colorado National Monument… welcome to your Fruita era. Because this home is not just a place to live. It’s a whole lifestyle. Picture this. You wake up, grab your coffee, step outside, and the Salt Wash Trailhead is literally right out your front door. Morning hikes, bike rides, trail runs, sunset walks… it’s all just part of everyday life here. And when you’re ready to head into town, downtown Fruita is just minutes away with all the energy people love about this community. Summer festivals, local restaurants, food trucks, farmers markets, live music, community events… Fruita has this way of making life feel FUN again. And then you come home to THIS. Fresh paint, new flooring, spacious rooms and views of the Monument right out your back door. The curb appeal instantly pulls you in, but the feeling inside is what really makes this home special. The oversized living room with the cozy window nook feels like the heart of the home and flows perfectly into the dining area and kitchen, making it ideal for hosting friends after a day on the trails or slow mornings at home before heading downtown for brunch. The kitchen has everything ready to go including all appliances, pantry storage, plus the washer and dryer. The primary suite is oversized and dreamy with TWO walk in closets and a spacious 5 piece bathroom that feels like your own little retreat. And with 3 large bedrooms, there’s space for guests, hobbies, home office setups, or simply room to spread out and enjoy life. But let’s talk about the backyard… because THIS is Colorado living. A huge fenced backyard, oversized patio, Monument views, room for dogs to run, summer BBQs, string lights, firepit nights, and plenty of space for all your bikes, toys, trailers, or even a boat. This home was built for people who actually want to LIVE the Colorado lifestyle. Plus you’re just minutes from the Fruita Community Center, hospital, schools, restaurants, trails, and everything that makes Fruita one of the most loved communities on the Western Slope. You’re not just buying a house here. You’re stepping into the Fruita lifestyle everyone wants. Home has been virtually staged.
