Welcome to this incredible opportunity in Village East for the hands-on first-time buyer or investor ready to roll up your sleeves and build instant equity! This solid 1965 ranch-style home with a fully finished walk-out basement offers two complete living areas with separate entrances - perfect for multi-generational living, a private suite for family, or creating future rental income as you grow into it. Upstairs you'll find three spacious bedrooms (including a generous primary suite), two bathrooms, a bright living room with cozy brick fireplace, dining area, and a functional kitchen with peninsula seating. Downstairs the fully finished lower level functions as its own 3-bedroom, 3/4-bath apartment complete with a second kitchen, family room featuring another wood-burning fireplace with modern wood surround, laundry room, and a large bedroom with a working sink and vanity. All three lower bedrooms have private patio/walk-out access potential. The home has a strong foundation with fresh neutral finishes, ceiling fans, wood-look flooring downstairs, and bright natural light throughout - but it still leaves plenty of room for your personal vision and sweat-equity upgrades (paint, fixtures, countertops, etc.) to make it truly your own and watch the value climb. Outside enjoy a massive 10-space parking setup (2-car attached garage + huge concrete/gravel driveway with third lane), a large upper deck overlooking mature trees, a fully fenced backyard with xeriscaping for easy maintenance, and no HOA. Located in the highly rated Cherry Creek School District and walking distance to Costco, Target, Lowe's, plus a variety of restaurants, sushi, ramen, and more. Whether you're a first-time buyer with renovation skills looking to create your dream home or an investor who sees the strong potential of dual living units (live in one, lease the other), this versatile 6-bed, 3-bath property delivers incredible flexibility and long-term upside.
