Quintessential Colorado hilltop A-frame with direct views of Horsetooth Reservoir and Horsetooth Mountain, set in one of Fort Collins' sought-after foothills neighborhoods. Thoughtful energy-efficient upgrades include fully paid-off solar panels, ductless heat pumps providing heating and cooling, a electric water heater (hello solar panels!), and newer windows-offering the next owner the benefit of improved efficiency from day one. Inside, hardwood floors, vaulted ceilings, and a wood-burning fireplace insert create a warm, inviting living space, while a spiral staircase leads to the upper-level loft bedroom. The main level includes a second bedroom/flex room, full bathroom, kitchen, and laundry. The .42-acre lot is designed to make the most of its foothills setting, with a self-sustaining native garden, flagstone patio, wood decks, fenced yard, and a detached two-car garage with an attached storage shed. Horsetooth Mountain Open Space trails, Horsetooth Reservoir, and Inlet Bay Marina are all nearby, offering easy access to hiking, boating, paddleboarding, and some of Northern Colorado's best outdoor recreation.
