Welcome to Casa De Contenta, a charming single-story retreat nestled on a desirable corner lot at 1640 Corsica Pl. This enchanting home has been cherished by one family since it was built and exudes a warm, inviting atmosphere. As you approach, you'll be greeted by a large, enclosed private front yard, affectionately known as "The Secret Garden." Enter through the ivy-wrapped gate into a tranquil oasis featuring multiple sitting areas, a peaceful water stream fountain, and lush greenery—ideal for meditation and relaxation. Step inside to discover a spacious main area, which includes a welcoming living room, a well-appointed kitchen, and a dining area perfect for gatherings. The home's artistic flair is evident throughout, with vibrant pops of color and unique design elements, such as the living room's striking yellow fireplace. The home boasts three delightful bedrooms located at the rear. The master bedroom is a serene escape with French doors that open onto the secret garden, allowing you to wake up to nature's beauty. A second bedroom also offers direct access to the backyard and pool through a sliding door. The master bathroom features a luxurious walk-in shower, while a full guest bathroom has been tastefully remodeled. The backyard is an entertainer's dream, with no neighbors to the left or behind, offering privacy and serenity. The swimming pool has been updated with a modern Pebble Tec finish, providing a refreshing retreat during warm days. The kitchen is charming, equipped with quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, custom-finished cabinetry, and a unique tile backsplash. Casa De Contenta truly stands as a piece of art, lovingly designed with personality and charm. Additionally, the home's location is a standout feature, situated adjacent to the entry of Smallwood Park, a popular Mesa Verde park known for its excellent playgrounds and basketball courts. It is also conveniently near the exclusive Mesa Verde Country Club, as well as a variety of shopping and dining options. Discover the perfect blend of tranquility, creativity, and community living in this remarkable home. This is your opportunity to be only the second family to call it your own in over 65 years!
