This home is incredibly unique! Lots of architectural details that you won’t find in other homes and you do have mountain views from the upstairs balcony. It could use some updating in the kitchen and bathrooms, but has been well maintained.

About Genesse
Central
Genesse Central, located between I-70 and Genesee Mountain, is a residential and mountain Genesee neighborhood with winding forest roads and wide-open foothill views. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Genesee Park Road and I-70 interchange, where trailheads, scenic pull-offs, and the steady rhythm of mountain traffic set the tone. Landmark homes lean into Colorado mountain architecture—timber accents, stone bases, and decks oriented to the ridgelines. Daily life revolves around open space, with quick transitions from driveways to pine forest and granite outcrops. Genesee Park frames the edge of the area with big-sky meadows and bison-viewing overlooks. The Genesee Community Center adds a low-key hub for recreation and gatherings.
