No homes behind! This Green Mountain ranch sits at the end of a cul-de-sac with green space directly behind it, so the deck and both lower-level walkouts look out at trees instead of a neighbor's fence. Inside, the living room gets its light from a big bay window and its character from the built-in bookcases. The kitchen has been updated with quartz counters, stainless appliances, and the range set into the island, plus a walk-in pantry that's genuinely charming — wallpaper and all. The dining room is the one that surprises people: a fireplace with real character, LVP underfoot, and a door to the deck, so dinner drifts outside without anyone having to plan it. Three bedrooms are on the main level, including a primary with a walk-in closet and 3/4 bath. Storage is everywhere — linen closet, coat closet, and a floored attic with stairs. The lower level walks out and lives like its own home. A freestanding gas fireplace warms the rec room. There's a bedroom with a full bath just outside the door, and a second room that's been used as flex space — painted concrete floors, built-ins, its own walkout to the patio, and enough light that you forget you're downstairs. The laundry and storage room is oversized, with shelving, washer, dryer, and upright freezer all staying. Outside: brick patio, sprinklers front and back, a chicken coop, and two sheds - the larger one wired with 220 and 110, which makes it a workshop rather than somewhere to park the mower. Radon mitigation, tankless water heater, vinyl windows, roof around seven years old, and Quantum Fiber at the street. Ravines Open Space is right there with trail access a block away, and Beech Park, an elementary school, and a middle school are all within walking distance. Red Rocks is about 12 minutes, downtown Golden 15, and I-70, C-470, and 6th Ave are close enough that the mountains and downtown Denver take about the same time in opposite directions. No HOA.
