Welcome to your next home a comfortable and inviting 2-bedroom, 1-bath unit in a quiet, family-friendly neighborhood just minutes from Belmar. Inside, you'll find a cozy living room with a gas fireplace and stone surround (just push a button to turn it on), rich walnut hardwood floors throughout, and a fully equipped kitchen with granite countertops and newer appliances perfect for quiet nights in or everyday cooking. Enjoy the convenience of your own private laundry, lightning-fast 950 Mbps fiber internet, and keyless entry with a smart lock. Private parking is included, along with one garage space. Though this is a downstairs unit, it gets plenty of natural light and has its own private walkout to an expansive backyard. The primary bedroom features state-of-the-art soundproofing in the ceiling for extra peace and quiet. The backyard is a true retreat full of garden beds, blooming flowers, and vegetables, with a seasonal creek that flows gently from May through October. Whether you're sipping your morning coffee, enjoying dinner under the soft yellow string lights on the patio, or hosting friends for a laid-back evening, you'll love this outdoor space. The upstairs tenants are three kind, quiet, and respectful people who've been with us for over a year. The neighborhood is walkable and welcoming, with parks, trails, gyms, and a seasonal farmers market just steps away. Sprouts and King Soopers are right across the street, with Whole Foods just a short drive away. Pets are welcome, and you're only a quick drive from downtown Denver or the mountains, thanks to easy access to Hwy 6. As your landlord, I live nearby and genuinely care about making this a great place to live. I respond quickly if anything comes up and am happy to connect you with past tenants if you'd like references. Feel free to reach out with any questions or to schedule a tour!
