Thoughtfully updated and move-in ready, this beautifully maintained 3-bedroom, 2-bath ranch combines major system upgrades, modern finishes, and exceptional value. Recent improvements include a brand-new roof, professionally updated sewer system, newer furnace/HVAC system and water heater, updated electrical, fresh interior and exterior paint, newer carpet, a new garage door, professionally trimmed mature trees, and a sprinkler system, giving buyers peace of mind that many of the home's biggest expenses have already been completed. The bright, open floor plan flows seamlessly between the living, dining, and kitchen areas, creating an ideal space for everyday living and entertaining. The spacious primary bedroom connects to a Jack and Jill bath, while two additional bedrooms offer flexibility for family, guests, or a home office. Situated on an oversized 8,059 sq ft lot, the property offers room to create your own outdoor retreat. The attached one-car garage provides convenient access through the laundry room. Located minutes from Anschutz Medical Campus, Children's Hospital Colorado, UCHealth, the VA Medical Center, Buckley Space Force Base, I-225, light rail, and DIA, this home offers exceptional convenience for homeowners and investors alike. Comparable 3-bedroom homes in the area have recently achieved rents in the mid-to-upper $2,000s per month, offering excellent long-term investment potential. Qualified buyers may also be eligible for the City of Aurora's Down Payment Assistance Program. Buyers should verify rental income potential and program eligibility independently.

The purpose of the R-1 district is to promote and preserve safe and attractive low-density, single-family residences. This district is intended to prohibit all commercial activities except for permitted home occupations. The R-1 district is generally comprised of medium to large suburban single-family lots, but development pursuant to a Small Residential Lot option is allowed in Subarea C. Some limited recreational, educational, gardening, and other uses are also permitted.
