Once you step past the inviting front porch, you’ll be greeted by a spacious main floor, with living and dining areas, kitchen, and powder room in an efficient and open layout.

7612 Menagerie Lane is located in the Chaparral Point at Indigo Ranch neighborhood in northeast Colorado Springs. This is truly a unique neighborhood, designed to bring neighbors together and bring back memories of the days when families sat on their front porches in the evenings and watched the sun go down while they had fun as a family - kind of like “Mayberry”!

Chaparral Point homes have lovely covered front porches and garages set to the back of the house (”alley-access”) so that these homes are not “all garage” as is so often the case with newer homes. There is a beautifully landscaped commons area in the front of this home, and across the street, a large grassy area with gazebo for the whole neighborhood to enjoy.

Can Trees Help Sell Your Home?7/3/2009 12:00 AM
The population of the U.S. nearly doubled from 1950 to 2000 but with that growth our water demands more than tripled, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. The government predicts that there will be water shortages in 36 states by the year 2013. That’s disappointing news to homeowners who love their green lawns and think that they add value to their homes. The good news is that a yard can still look attractive and yet use less water to maintain its beauty.
