Absolutely adorable mid-century bungalow in the Sloan's Lake area! Situated on nearly 10,000 square feet, this charming ranch home captures the perfect blend of original character complete with all the conveniences of modern design. This stunning ranch home offers 4 beds, 2 baths, a generous, private yard and a detached 2 car garage with separate gardening shed. The upgraded kitchen is a chef's delight with rich wood cabinetry, striking backsplash, stainless appliances and gorgeous butcher block countertops. Sit on bar stools at the kitchen counter or gather in the custom built, eat-in dining booth. Either way, there is plenty of room to gather, entertain and enjoy this updated, open-concept floor plan. All 3 main floor bedrooms are flooded with natural light. One bedroom is perfectly appointed for a work-from-home space, art studio, craft room, yoga studio or anything else you may want. The tastefully updated basement features a light and bright primary suite, a separate sitting area and a gloriously updated 3/4 bath. The wide open family room is the place for movies, entertaining, a playroom, exercise area or an additional home office. If you choose to locate upstairs, the below grade primary suite offers a perfect solution for overnight guests who will surely enjoy the custom coffee/wine/cocktail bar. Out back is the true gem of this property with ample room for family and guests to gather and enjoy the beautiful Colorado weather. There is a generous area of grass to savor, a paver patio with wood burning fire pit, vegetable garden beds, a privacy screen with TV mount and a cute gardening shed for all of the tools. Don't miss the large 2 car detached garage with alley access. Best of all, you're just a few blocks away from all of the excitement of Sloan's Lake, Edgewater, the Highlands Square and Tennyson Street. Easy access to I-70, I-76, and 6th avenue. You'll be in the foothills or at the ski resorts in no time flat. Don't miss this opportunity!

Nestled on a lot that is nearly 10,000 sf, this 1940's charmer retains its original character, but has been upgraded for modern living. Wave to your neighbors from the front porch, enjoy wine and hors d'oeuvres at the butcher block countertops, savor a home-cooked meal in the custom dining booth or lounge under the stars on the expansive patio, with the firepit crackling nearby. Two main floor bedrooms are full of natural light that gleams on refinished hardwood floors, while a third bedroom, currently used as an art studio, doubles as a home office. Downstairs, the huge primary bedroom is large enough for a sitting room or yoga space, and adjoins a bright modern bathroom via a sliding barn door. Long-term guests will appreciate the coffee/wine bar downstairs, as well as an additional living area perfect for movie viewing, a spacious playroom, exercise area, or another home office. The super private backyard is the jewel of this property, with a fruit-bearing peach tree, vegetable garden beds, brick patio space, privacy screen and fencing, and thoughtful plantings throughout. Best of all, you're just blocks from the shops and dining at Highlands Square and Tennyson Street, Sloan's Lake Park, and Edgewater, with I-70 just a 5-minute drive down Sheridan.
