Opportunity in Lakewood for a buyer ready to bring some vision—and some tools! This solid brick ranch is livable today but needs substantial updating and renovation throughout, making it a great opportunity for an owner-occupant, house-hack buyer, or investor who understands the work involved. The home offers 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom on the main level, plus 2 additional bedrooms and 1 bathroom in the finished basement with its own separate entrance. The main level features exposed hardwood floors, and the approximately 350 sq ft enclosed sunroom provides great additional space overlooking the large backyard. The home has solid bones, with no obvious signs of foundation movement observed. Several of the bigger-ticket items have already been updated: roof and furnace are believed to be less than 10 years old, along with upgraded vinyl windows. You'll also find an attached 2-car garage, large corner lot, mature trees, spacious backyard, and plenty of room alongside the garage for potential RV or boat parking. Location is important: the property is adjacent to 6th Avenue, offering convenient access throughout the Denver metro area, but traffic and road noise are noticeable. Buyers sensitive to road noise should take this into consideration. The house needs work, but the separate basement entrance, enclosed sunroom, garage, large lot and major system updates provide a strong starting point. Come with realistic expectations, bring your ideas, and see the possibilities.
