Investor special. A rare value-add opportunity with high ROI in Golden's desirable Ashwood neighborhood, 1090 Zang Street offers the ideal combination of strong bones, existing rental income, and significant renovation upside. This solid brick ranch features 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a nearly quarter-acre lot with sprinkler system, and a fully finished basement with a fireplace and separate exterior access. Unlike a typical fixer-upper or full gut renovation, this property was remodeled in 2018 and already has a strong foundation for its next transformation. The existing stainless steel kitchen appliances are reusable, allowing an investor to focus renovation dollars where they can make the greatest impact. Major systems also offer helpful context for renovation planning: the furnace, evaporative cooler, and water heater are approximately 9 years old, and the electrical panel was replaced around 2018. Renovated 3-bed/3-bath homes of similar size in the surrounding area sell in the mid-to-high $700Ks, creating compelling upside potential for an investor who understands the Golden market. The property is currently tenant-occupied through May 2027 at $2,450/month, providing rental income during the remaining lease term and potential time to plan, design, and prepare for a future renovation. Whether you're searching for a Golden investment property, cosmetic fixer, flip opportunity, income-producing property, or value-add real estate investment, this is an opportunity to acquire a fundamentally solid home with a head start on renovations and meaningful upside potential. Home being sold as-is. Buyer to independently verify comparable sales, renovation costs, and potential after-repair value (ARV). Please note: Primary bedroom bed was AI-enhanced for presentation only; all permanent features and finishes are shown in their actual condition. Absolutely no potential buyers allowed on premises without written confirmation and listing agent present.

A dream home conceived as a singular vision and lived in as a private resort. Every space carries its own character, yet nothing here feels assembled. A circular motif runs from the courtyard gate through the balconies to the rear fence. Black metal railing travels unbroken from the entry stair through the whole home. The same unique blue onyx, rust-and-cream veined, repeats across the home's most defining rooms. This is wabi-sabi precision: natural materials, intention not perfection, and a feng-shui flow that moves the eye and the body through the home with purpose. A 2-story great room commands the main level, a floor-to-ceiling onyx fireplace wall, a window wall framing the Denver skyline, and interior windows that look straight down to the saltwater pool. An adjoining living room delivers more views entirely: Castle Rock on South Table Mountain to one side, the city skyline to the other. Upstairs, the primary suite claims a third orientation-Green Mountain to the south, the skyline to the east, and the sunset over the Golden foothills to the west. Three distinct, unobstructed views from one property is rare. Here, it's simply how the home was designed. Entertaining has its own architecture. A paver courtyard greets arrival. Tiered patios with fire features and a private pergola extend the home outward in complete privacy. Below, a full bowling lane and entertainment lounge turn the lower level into a destination. Wellness runs just as deep, a two-story indoor pool pavilion with its own hot tub, a dedicated steam shower, and spa-caliber primary bath, each built from the same refined, luxurious design language as the rest of the home. Then there's the sky, and the land beyond it, the foothills and trails just beyond the gate for those who crave adventure. Sunrise fills the lower-level bedrooms. Sunset paints the primary balcony. City lights rise as evening falls. This isn't a feature that was added-it is what the land has always offered, to whoever lives here.
