Great house and home in the heart of Applewood. Walking-distance to good schools, restaurants, coffee shops, bars, playgrounds and parks. Just 20 minutes to Denver, 15 to Red Rocks, and 10 to downtown Golden. The large backyard is private and peaceful, with lots of trees and plenty of room for gardening and outdoor play. There’s even room for an ADU. The main floor has hardwood floors throughout with an open kitchen/family room for gatherings of all sorts. The kitchen has soapstone counters, a gas stove and oven, stainless steel appliances and a spacious, natural-light eat-in area. The family room, both large and cozy, has a gas fireplace and offers access to the garage, a convenient main floor laundry and the backyard via a great-for-entertaining or relaxing-with-the-family redwood deck. Also on the main floor, you’ll find a large dining/multi-purpose room, a powder room and an airy front room/office space. The second floor has an extra-large primary suite with a 3/4 bathroom, a walk-in closet, and a second large closet as well. There’s another full bath upstairs and two more spacious bedrooms, each of which has a dedicated swamp cooler vent and easy-to-clean laminate flooring. The bathrooms have plenty of storage and there’s more storage in the hallway closet. The fully finished downstairs has a big family room/kids’ room, a 3/4 bathroom, a fully conforming bedroom, and a bonus room, which could be used as a studio, storage space or whatever your imagination conjures. The layout, top-to-bottom, makes this house a great place to work from home, with ample office options, and an equally great, memory-making family home. It’s easily move-in ready, but if you want to upgrade to your taste and budget, you could do so without upending your life – a practical combination of ready-to-go and ripe-to-renovate, at a price that works for both.
