Here’s the project home you’ve been waiting for… Livable today, loaded with potential, and in a location that’s tough to beat. Tucked onto a quiet Wheat Ridge street just six homes from an entrance to Crown Hill Park and two blocks from Wheat Ridge High School, this mid-century home sits on a beautifully landscaped .34-acre lot surrounded by mature trees. Inside, the main level is already warm and inviting with beautiful hardwood floors, newer windows, three bedrooms and two bathrooms, including a primary bedroom with its own en-suite bath. Newer central A/C and furnace add to the list of improvements already in place. Downstairs is where the opportunity really starts. The partially finished basement includes two non-conforming bedrooms that are already framed, drywalled and painted, with flooring still to be completed. The remaining basement offers large, mostly unfinished open spaces—a blank canvas for a family room, home gym, office, additional living space or whatever fits your vision. Outside, you’ll find a large two-car garage, mature landscaping, sprinkler system and a fully landscaped .34-acre lot that gives the property a park-like feel. There also appears to be an additional water source associated with the property, potentially a well, ditch or lake water access; however, its type, availability and usage rights have not yet been verified. Best of all, this isn’t a total gut job. Move in, enjoy the home now, and improve it over time. With beautifully renovated homes in the area selling in the $800s. This is the kind of property that gives you the chance to create the home you want while potentially building meaningful equity along the way. Great bones! Big lot! Incredible location! And plenty of room to make it your own.
