26945 E Costilla Drive Aurora CO 80016 MLS #REC5060077
I walk through hundreds of houses every year, and let’s be honest, they all start to look the same after a while. Here’s what I love about THIS home – and what sets it apart from the 40 other houses in Southshore right now.
1. It’s a ranch that backs to a greenbelt.
One of the biggest complaints I hear about newer neighborhoods is feeling like your neighbors are living in your backyard. Not here. Backing to open greenbelt gives you more privacy, better views, and breathing room.
2. It has a true three-car garage.
Not tandem. A real three-car garage. We all convince ourselves a tandem garage will be “totally fine.” Tell yourself that again when you’re moving a car for the fifth time just to get the bikes out.
3. Three bedrooms are all on the main level-and they’re tucked in the back of the home.
It’s one of those details people don’t think about until they see it. I hate having bedrooms in the front when I’m in the back. Having the bedrooms positioned away from the front entry creates a more private layout that just feels right.
4. The finished walkout basement is insane.
This isn’t just a basement with a couch thrown in it. It’s an extension of the home with a professionally wired Atmos theater, huge rec room, bedroom and full bath + enough space for a serious home gym. There’s even room to practice tumbling passes if that’s your thing.
5. Southshore still has that neighborhood feel.
Walk to the neighborhood pond, head to the pool, meet neighbors at an ice cream social at the clubhouse, or join the neighborhood book club. The neighborhood amenities list is a mile long – let’s just say you’ll never be bored.
Beyond that – the spacious primary suite features a five-piece bath and custom walk-in closet, while a dedicated office, open-concept living area, and oversized laundry/mudroom with custom cabinetry round out the thoughtful floorplan. All just minutes from Aurora Reservoir, trails, Southlands shopping, dining, and commuter routes.
