407 Defrance Drive

Nestled against the foothills of Golden, this home blends refined interior living with an extraordinary outdoor retreat. Upon arrival, the curb appeal and meticulous care of this home signal something special. Step inside to freshly refinished hardwood floors, soaring vaulted ceilings, a cozy gas fireplace, and an abundance of natural light flowing effortlessly through the open main level. A private office tucked behind French doors, a formal dining room overlooking the backyard, and a renovated chef's kitchen, featuring two-tone custom cabinetry, quartz counters, a marble mosaic backsplash, and a gas range, speak to the thoughtful design throughout. The family room, anchored by a wood-burning stove on a brick hearth and framed by west-facing windows to the foothills, is the heart of the home. Upstairs, the generous primary suite features vaulted ceilings, a walk-in closet, and a spa-worthy en suite with a freestanding soaking tub and a walk-in shower. Two additional upper-level bedrooms share a skylit bath with its own soaking tub. A fully finished basement rounds out the home with a spacious recreation room, a private guest suite, a second office, and a three-quarter bath - offering remarkable flexibility for guests, multigenerational living, and work-from-home needs. The true soul of this property lives outside. The backyard is a gardener's paradise and an entertainer's dream: w/ paver patio, fire pit, bench seating, fruit trees, raised planter beds, and a fully equipped greenhouse that is ready for bountiful harvests. The home sits on a 1/3 of an acre and backs directly to open space, delivering privacy and the serenity of the foothills right at your doorstep. Crowning it all: a private viewing deck perched above, offering 360-degree views of the Colorado landscape, and a private view to celestial events. An oversized 3-car attached garage and proximity to Golden's world-class trails, parks, and dining complete the picture. This is Colorado living at its finest!
