This is the first time since 1975 that this well maintained & much loved home has been offered for sale. It is "spic & span" clean & ready for the new owners to begin building memories while renovating this classic ranch with a walk-up basement. Beautiful, established landscaping in front of the home & in backyard create shade & privacy & an overall feeling of serenity.The curved driveway leading to the front door & the large porch area (just waiting for your umbrella table), welcome family & friends. The large living room highlights a custom built-in, corner-cabinet & the large picture window brings the outdoors, inside. Adjacent dining room area offers inside-outside dining through use of the large, sliding glass doors opening to another patio area, surrounded by gorgeous & thick, tree-lined borders. A beautiful, updated kitchen includes custom cabinets with classic, quality cabinetry & shelving. Off the kitchen is a desk/office area with sliding door access to a third private, backyard patio & gardens. The open floorplan is perfect for comfortable entertaining & family living. In addition to the 2 bedrooms on the main floor, the finished basement includes an additional 3 bedrooms, a family room & a bonus room that was used as a kitchen by former owners (with a little updating, this area may be able to be used as a "Mother-in-Law" space today?) Best of all, the basement also provides access to a private stairway leading to the backyard. The floorplan of this special home offers so many possibilities to meet the needs & wants of new owners. Potential abounds & imagination is the limit, knowing that there is a newer Furnace, A/C, Water Heater, & Roof. Nearby amenities include a public park & pool, just up the block, close proximity to Belmar, Red Rocks, Morrison, Green Mtn Parks (with walking & cycling paths), picnic spots, a fabulous dog park & some of the best shops/restaurants/clubs this highly sought after neighborhood has to offer. Opportunity knocks!
