You’ll appreciate the intelligent layout of this one-level ranch in Serenity Ridge — all the convenience of single-story living plus an expansive finished walk-out basement. The main floor opens to an airy great room centered on a gas fireplace and flows to a sunroom and covered deck with open views. The kitchen is a standout: gas cooktop, double wall ovens, stainless appliances, large island and pantry arranged for cooking and conversation. A dedicated home office off the foyer provides a private workspace without sacrificing flow.
The primary suite is privately situated and includes a roomy walk-in closet and a spa-style jetted tub. Two additional bedrooms on the main level share a full bath, while the lower level adds a true bonus: a guest bedroom with a 3/4 bath, a large rec/game area, dedicated exercise or play space, and two generous storage rooms plus a workshop-style utility area. The poured-concrete lower patio with built-in firepit extends the entertaining footprint and looks onto a fully fenced, landscaped yard.
Practical features include a drywalled two-car garage with tall ceilings for storage, in-unit laundry access on the main level, double-pane windows, and seller-updated finishes that keep the home move-in ready. At about 4,248 finished sq ft on a 6,634-sf lot, this home balances room for daily life and large gatherings.
Location adds convenience: minutes to Southlands shopping, restaurants and services, quick access to E‑470 for regional commuting, and easy drives to Aurora Reservoir for weekends outdoors. If you want main-level living with more than enough space for guests, hobbies or a home gym, schedule a showing to see how this plan performs across both levels.

Serenity Ridge is a suburban pocket in southeast Aurora characterized by relatively recent single-family construction, mature landscaping and proximity to the Southlands retail corridor. The area attracts families and professionals who want suburban amenities, easy highway access and outdoor recreation at nearby Aurora Reservoir. Streets are mostly low-traffic and the neighborhood emphasis is on comfortable, family-friendly living.
Within a short drive to Aurora Reservoir for boating, fishing and trails; neighborhood parks and the Southlands shopping center provide weekend options.
Southeast Aurora (80016) remains a practical choice for buyers seeking value compared with central Denver neighborhoods. As of early 2026 the Denver metro market is more balanced than the frenetic seller's market of 2020–2022; well-priced, move-in ready homes with desirable floorplans—especially those under $700K—still attract strong interest. This property’s combination of a modern ranch layout, a finished walk-out basement and proximity to Southlands and Aurora Reservoir positions it well: families looking for space and commuters wanting E‑470 access will find this an efficient buy. Agents should highlight the finished lower level and turnkey condition to justify pricing in the upper-$600Ks.
