Tucked into Lakewood's coveted Green Mountain neighborhood, this brick ranch-style home with attached 2-car garage and finished walkout basement offers single-level living, exceptional outdoor space, and true versatility — a rare combination. The main level offers a generous primary suite — in a layout that can easily flex back to 2 or 3 bedrooms — plus a living room and space made for entertaining. The open kitchen features granite counters, center island with under-island cabinets, and a wall of storage/pantry cabinets. A formal dining room and a large, skylight-lit eat-in area with pristine hardwood and room for a table of 8+ open through sliding doors to the covered balcony. The adjoining sitting room shares the hardwood, with a gas log fireplace and built-in shelving. A second main-level bath also has granite counters.
Outdoor living truly shines here. The covered balcony off the kitchen overlooks the lush backyard and the covered patio below. Downstairs, the walkout basement opens directly to its own covered patio and out to the large backyard — plenty of room for gardening, sports, and more — plus a wood-burning fireplace, exposed wood-beam ceiling, and a third bath with granite counters. It all sits on a generous 10,411-square-foot lot with mature trees and a fenced, park-like yard.
What sets this home apart: meticulous ownership, with detailed records for major home components, including a 2023 HVAC system and 2017 roof, plus permits, and the home's 1988 addition plans — real confidence for a buyer ready to update the cosmetics.
The location is a rare blend of mountain access and city convenience. Green Mountain is one of Lakewood, Colorado's defining landmarks, a flat-topped mesa anchored by William F. Hayden Park's 2,400 acres of open space. Over 17 miles of multi-use trails wind through the park, from the moderate 6.4-mile Green Mountain Loop to the steep, direct 1.4-mile Hayden Trail — a favorite for hikers, trail runners, and mountain bikers. From the roughly 6,800-foot summit, 360-degree views stretch from the Denver skyline to the east all the way to the Front Range peaks to the west. For outdoor-minded buyers in the Denver Metro area, it's the best of both worlds: minutes to I-70 for weekend mountain trips, and just as close to downtown Denver for everyday city life.
