** Mountain Living in the Heart of Estes Park ** Welcome home to this cozy mountain charmer tucked away on a nearly half-acre, level lot just a half mile from downtown Estes Park. Located close to schools, the rec center, golf courses, and all the local shops and restaurants, this one-story home puts you right where you want to be - in the middle of it all, yet surrounded by nature. With 3 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, this home offers a warm and welcoming feel the moment you walk in. Original hardwood floors, natural light from skylights, and a nicely updated kitchen flow into a separate dining space - perfect for casual meals or hosting friends after a day on the trails. The 1930s-style living room brings character with built-ins, brick accents, and direct access to the back deck - ideal for summer BBQs or watching the stars over the mountains. The third bedroom is currently set up as a rec room, complete with a gas fireplace and walk-out access to the backyard. This room is also ideal as a work space with its own private entrance. You'll also appreciate the large mudroom/laundry area - perfect for shedding your gear after a hike - and a fenced yard for your pups or garden plans. Wildlife is your regular neighbor here - elk, deer, birds - making every day feel like a true mountain getaway. The 2-car detached garage gives you all the space you need for your skis, bikes, kayaks, or that workshop you've been dreaming about. And best of all? No HOA. Whether you're looking for a full-time home base or a weekend escape, 178 Stanley Circle Drive offers that laid-back Colorado lifestyle you've been searching for.
