Lovingly cared for by the original owner since 1973, this property sits on a meticulously maintained corner lot and is ready for its next chapter. Walk inside the open living space that connects to the eat in kitchen with updated appliances and access to the backyard. Three bedrooms and a bathroom are located on the main floor, and upstairs you will find two additional bedrooms with walk-in-closets! The basement is finished with a bar, living space, fireplace, bathroom, laundry, and a sixth non-conforming bedroom or crafting space. The backyard is a wonderful surprise of mature landscaping with lush green grass, a shed, and a covered patio large enough for any BBQ or family gathering. Next to the two car garage is a third bay that is located inside an extra deep and fully enclosed carport - just right for your boat, motorcycle, or all of the kid's bicycles! Live in this home while you start your renovations, or flip this into a half-million-dollar home with some simple cosmetic updates. With a new roof, sewer main line, and swamp cooler in 2019, a new hot water heater in 2023, and fresh exterior paint in 2025, you can walk in with peace of mind and own a home that you can be proud of. Just blocks from the Eastlake Open Space and walking distance to the north branch of the RTD light rail, the location of this one can't be beat! Last but not least, this home has no HOA and no metro district, so don't wait to schedule a showing today!
