The 8,738 square foot home provides a spectacular view of the mountains from its location in Highlands Ranch, Colorado. Highlands Ranch is a very quiet district located just south of Denver. The area is packed with a variety of outdoor activities. Come To Life Colorado states that there are acres upon acres of land set aside for hiking, biking, or simply taking a relaxing stroll.

Barret's home includes some of its own outdoor features, as well, starting with the vibrant green lawn that surrounds the home. Zillow presents the front of the home with beautiful landscaping and a crisply marked path leading to the grand front entrance and its adjacent outdoor sitting area. Behind the house, the property boasts not only a basketball court but also a small golfing area. Multiple sitting areas are also present on the balconies behind the home, perfect for watching the activities that occur in the yard below or simply enjoying the beautiful Colorado views.

The home has a total of six bedrooms and eight bathrooms, each with an ample amount of space for storage. The large, gourmet kitchen is set with top-tier appliances, plenty of countertop space for cooking, and lots of cabinet space for storage. The kitchen area is also complete with a small breakfast area and more sitting spaces along the kitchen island. A more formal dining area is located in a separate room adjacent to the kitchen.

Beyond that, Realtor.com shows a variety of entertainment spaces also included in the home. There is the main living room along with a media room and recreational room. The main living room is a more formal area, while the media room adds a perfect sitting area to watch the game with friends. The recreational room is located on the lowest level of the home and is complete with a game room, television lounge, and bar. This level also leads directly out into the yard, where the outdoor recreational activities can continue.

Realtor.com states that the home was built in 2017 to the exact liking of Shaqui Barrett and his family. The chosen style is very modern with plenty of open spaces. The walls throughout the house are painted with light colors, which are contrasted by the hardwood flooring throughout the majority of the home. There are also multiple large windows that provide the many open spaces with plenty of natural lighting.

For example, the windows in the media and recreational rooms are framed with a black material instead of the white material that is used throughout the rest of the home. The recreational room also has a dark wooded ceiling and dark cabinets in the bar area. This style continues on to match the exterior of the home, which is a creamy white color contrasted with a dark roof and trimmings (per Zillow).
