Welcome to 8871 Rutgers St. in Westminster. A beautifully updated brick ranch single-family home with 2nd Story ADU above the garage, plus a private office with 2 entrances. This home offers a rare and valuable layout. The ADU provides a self-contained living space with its own kitchen, bathroom, living room, bedroom, laundry room, private entrance, and private deck with city and mountain views. Whether used as a rental unit, guest suite, or extended family quarters, it offers outstanding flexibility and potential short-term rental income or easy conversion to a primary suite accessible from the pre-existing interior stairs. The heated office is a standout feature with an entrance from the backyard and the garage for remote professionals or creatives, offering a quiet, dedicated space with modern finishes and connectivity for uninterrupted productivity. The main residence features a spacious, light-filled interior with a thoughtfully updated kitchen including cabinets, appliances, LVP flooring and granite counters.

Most updates performed in 2017, including the fully permitted ADU, mechanicals, roof, main house kitchen remodel, construction of the office space and the 2nd story Trex deck. The fully irrigated yard includes drip lines for hanging baskets and the many beautiful rose bushes. Located in a friendly and established neighborhood, this home is only minutes from major highways, RTD park n ride on US36 and Sheridan, parks, schools, shopping, and dining. This unique property is more than just a home - it’s a lifestyle upgrade.
