Contemporary 5-Bed Retreat Backing to Ken-Caryl Open Space
Situated on a generous, private lot that directly adjoins Ken-Caryl open space, 38 Lark Bunting Lane is a contemporary north-ranch reimagined for modern living and outdoor lifestyle. The fully remodeled kitchen is a centerpiece — Sub-Zero refrigeration, Bosch appliances, a walk-in pantry, custom cabinetry and a large center island make this kitchen a chef-ready hub for everyday life and large gatherings. A panoramic window in the kitchen frames the rock formations and trail system beyond, creating a living backdrop for meal prep and entertaining.
The main level hosts a spacious primary suite with dual walk-in closets and a thoughtfully updated spa bath, while three additional bedrooms and two remodeled baths occupy the upper level alongside a dedicated office with inspiring views — an ideal layout for families and remote work. The lower level is fully finished and expands the home’s flexibility with a dedicated home gym, theater room, and a private suite perfect for guests or multigenerational living.
Outdoor living is exceptional: multiple decks and patios provide distinct settings for relaxation and entertaining. The front patio features a built-in fire pit and water feature with Front Range sunset views; a recently remodeled covered deck includes a built-in BBQ and fireplace for year-round enjoyment overlooking dramatic rock outcroppings and protected open space. Practical upgrades include a new HVAC system (2021), new exterior paint (2023) with a 10-year warranty, central vacuum, Quiet Cool attic fan, skylights and double-pane windows — all combined to offer a turn-key experience.
This home blends privacy, finished living area (5,199 SF), and immediate trail access to one of the Denver metro’s preferred open-space networks. It’s a compelling option for buyers seeking a refined inside-out lifestyle with room for family, guests, and recreation.

Ken-Caryl and the adjacent northern Littleton foothills are known for protected open space, an extensive trail network, and a collection of established single-family neighborhoods.

A factual market snapshot around 38 Lark Bunting Ln.
Homes in the Ken-Caryl and northern Littleton foothills command a premium for open-space access and mountain views. Median single-family prices in Littleton are substantially lower than this luxury-tier listing; however, houses that back directly to protected open space routinely outperform broader neighborhood trends due to scarcity. As of early 2026 the Denver-metro market moved into a steadier phase with modest annual appreciation (low single digits) but continued strong interest in lifestyle properties. Expect competitive showings but allow time for the right buyer in this price band; well-marketed, turnkey homes with exceptional lots often receive the strongest offers.
Single-family residential neighborhood zoning; R-1 style zoning likely that permits single-family detached dwellings and accessory structures. Properties backing to open space typically have additional easement/protection on the rear boundary.
