Situated back from the street for added privacy, this 3-bed, 2-bath home is a rare find in one of Denver's most beloved pocket neighborhoods. The large yard and outdoor entertaining space make this property as much about how you'll live outside as you will in. This home has fresh interior and exterior paint (2026), landscaping refresh (2026), new carpet (2025), and basement upgrades including a new sump pump (2025). A stylish backsplash refresh (2023) brings the kitchen up to date, while the front yard was completely reimagined in 2020/2021 with a new patio, retaining wall, fresh grass and landscaping, a new fence, and a sprinkler system - creating a polished, low-maintenance exterior from the moment you arrive. There are two bedrooms on the main floor and the third is located in the basement and is more of a bonus room, but is a legal bedroom with egress and attached bath and has been used as a bedroom previously. The patio is made for long summer evenings with friends, barbecuing, lounging in the sun and is a great space for your pets! Sloan's Lake Park is right at your fingertips, and downtown Edgewater is just a stone's throw away - think US Thai, Joyride Brewing, Edgewater Beer Garden, Local 46 Music Bar, and Edgewater Public Market. Enjoy a coffee from Sati Coffee shop and stroll around Sloan's Lake, then head to Edgewater Beer Garden for lunch! In the evening, enjoy the sunset from Joyride's rooftop or from the comfort of your west facing yard! Tennyson Street and West Highlands are also close by, with easy access to the wonderful West Highlands Farmers Market. Hogshead Brewing, Rise and Shine Bakery, and Panorama Park round out an incredible list of neighborhood favorites, plus a full calendar of local festivals year round. Biking distance to downtown Denver and easy access to I-70 mean the mountains are never far away either. This is more than a home - it's a lifestyle in one of Denver's most sought-after locations and one you won't want to miss!

SOME HOMES GIVE YOU SPACE. THIS ONE GIVES YOU POSSIBILITIES. At the heart of this extraordinary Wheat Ridge property is an updated 1912 home offering 4,778 SF, 5 bedrooms and 5 baths-surrounded by spaces that allow you to imagine living differently. Need income? A separate studio apartment is currently rented for $1,775/month. Need room for multiple generations? The basement has TWO separate exterior entrances accessing additional spaces that may offer future living possibilities. One area is partially finished with an existing full bathroom and could potentially be completed with a kitchen, laundry and closet. Another entrance leads to unfinished space ready for a buyer's vision. And for the car collector, entrepreneur, contractor, hobbyist or buyer who has simply run out of room for the toys, the heated garage may be the showstopper. An attached commercial-style garage with an approx. 14' door connects to an expensive 4-car garage wrapping around the property. Imagine collector cars, an RV, boat, equipment, workshop, business storage or the projects you've never had room to pursue. Live in the beautiful main residence while exploring how the rest of the property could work for YOU. Income. Family. Business. Cars. Storage. Hobbies. Or simply room to breathe. A property this flexible is difficult to recreate-and even harder to find.
