Applewood Home Backing to Lena Gulch Just Listed by Jim Swanson

This well-maintained 3-bedroom/2-bath tri-level with basement at 13065 W. 15th Drive — just listed for $750,000 — is located in Applewood Valley near the Denver West office park and Colorado Mills, with easy access to highways and shopping. The home faces south and backs to Lena Gulch, a year-round stream. (The home is above the flood zone.) The 0.31-acre lot is professionally landscaped front and back, with perennial gardens that are about to explode with color! Inside you’ll find updated windows and baths and hardwood flooring on all three above-grade levels. This home has great bones, with an updated electric panel, newer roof, newer sewer line, newer furnace and A/C. The seller purchased this home with her late husband in 1986. You can tell that it is well cared for. There is no HOA, and there’s room to park an RV without blocking the 2-car attached garage or 1-car carport. Listing agent Jim Swanson (303-929-2727) will be holding it open this Saturday, April 29th, from 11am to 1pm. A narrated video tour of this listing, inside and out, can be viewed at www.ApplewoodHome.online.

Price Reduced on Mountain Ridge Home With Views!

This solar-powered home at 359 Canyon Point Circle was a model home for the Village at Mountain Ridge, the subdivision west of Highway 93 backing to the Mt. Galbraith Park. (There’s a trailhead to the park’s 5 miles of hiking trails within the subdivision.) The seller has made many improvements to the home since buying it in 2002, including a total renovation of the gourmet kitchen and master bathroom, plus adding 11.5 kW of solar panels which meet all the electrical needs of the home. The main-floor deck was also completely rebuilt with composite decking, metal railings and a breakfast bar for enjoying the sunrises over South Table Mountain and the City of Golden, which are visible even from the walk-out basement. A walking path near this home allows children to walk safely to Mitchell Elementary School via a pedestrian bridge that crosses the highway. To appreciate all the features of this 5-BR, 4,106-sq.ft. home, take a video tour at www.MountainRidgeHome.com.

Open House Sunday 1-3 pm at this 1937 Golden farmhouse for sale!

This 3-bedroom, 2⅓-bath home sits on a 0.45-acre lot atop the hill behind Colorado Mills at 13400 W. 10th Avenue, Golden. Built in 1937, it has a country feel to it, with its gravel driveway circling an old tree and its split-rail fencing. Every room has either birch or walnut wood paneling — not synthetic paneling, but real wood paneling, in-cluding on the slanted ceilings upstairs! The kitchen cabinets are not factory built, but built to fit from birch wood by the now-deceased master craftsman who lived here. The living room fireplace is set in a wall of Silver Plume granite, with a walnut mantel. Built-in cabinetry abounds, and there are even built-in desks and shelving (of birch) in the upstairs bedrooms. Originally on well and septic, the home is now on public water. The grounds include multiple fruit trees — pear, apple, apricot and walnut — and all the trees are maintained by Schulhoff under a yearly contract. I love this house, and you will too!
