Turnkey 3-Bed Ranch with Owned Solar, RV Pad & Red Rocks Access
This immaculately maintained ranch delivers the complete Morrison lifestyle — thoughtful updates, energy savings, vehicle storage and immediate access to Red Rocks. The main level opens to a vaulted living room with diagonal strand bamboo floors and a wood-burning fireplace with a Heatilator insert framed in custom tile and a solid wood mantel. The kitchen was fully remodeled with 42" soft-close cabinets, quartz counters, glass tile backsplash, slate stainless appliances, farmhouse sink and a Moen auto-sensor faucet — every detail chosen for durability and style.
Three bedrooms are laid out for easy daily living; two remodeled baths (one on the main level; one 3/4 in the lower level) feature quality stone and oil-rubbed-bronze fixtures. The finished basement expands usable living space with a bedroom featuring a walk-in closet, a remodeled 3/4 bath, a dedicated laundry room with utility sink and folding station, plus open family/recreation area ready to suit your needs. Plantation shutters on all windows and slider add privacy and an elevated look throughout.
Outside is where function meets entertaining: stamped concrete patios, mature landscaping with perennials and garden space, a fully fenced backyard and a 10x12 storage shed. Practical upgrades include an insulated, drywalled two-car garage, new concrete driveway with RV parking pad, new exterior paint, newer roof, new windows and a new garage door opener. Owned solar panels (no lease) and an updated hot water heater lower ongoing costs and are a buyer-friendly selling point.
Location is exceptional — quick walks or drives to Weaver Hollow Park, Harriman Lake and the Red Rocks Amphitheatre, plus Downtown Morrison’s restaurants and shops. Commuters benefit from nearby highway access while residents enjoy hiking, biking and the amphitheatre’s world-class programming. This home shows like a model and is ready for someone who wants a low-maintenance, high-amenity package close to the best outdoor and cultural assets of the foothills.

A factual market snapshot around 11858 W Marlowe Ave.
Morrison and the Red Rocks submarket remain highly desirable for buyers seeking proximity to outdoor recreation while maintaining a commuter link to the Denver metro. Inventory in this pocket tends to be tight for well-upgraded single-family homes under $750k; median sale prices in similar neighborhoods are near the mid-$600ks with average days on market commonly under a month for turnkey properties. Demand is driven by buyers who prioritize lifestyle (access to Red Rocks and trails), low near-term maintenance (recent capital improvements) and energy savings (owned solar). For sellers, positioning the property highlighting owned solar, RV parking and finished basement typically achieves multiple strong offers in a competitive window. For buyers, inspect solar system performance and confirm school boundaries to lock in value expectations.
