Brick Ranch on .35-Acre Lot — Oversized Garage & Flexible Basement
1725 Alkire Ct is a classic single-level brick ranch set on a rare, generous .35-acre lot in Applewood Grove. The home’s layout favors everyday ease: three main-floor bedrooms and two full baths, an eat-in kitchen adjacent to a formal dining area, and two living rooms — one anchored by a fireplace that creates a comfortable gathering spot. The covered front porch and broad yard provide private outdoor space for play, gardening, and entertaining.
Below the main level a partially finished basement expands the home’s usable footprint, currently serving laundry, storage, and supplemental living space. Importantly, the basement already has roughed-in plumbing for an additional bathroom — a high-value upgrade that can add functionality and resale value. The oversized attached two-car garage gives convenient storage and workspace, while the driveway provides extra parking for guests or toys.
Built in 1962 and lovingly maintained by the same owner for decades, the house presents a strong foundation of durable materials (brick exterior, solid footprint) and a floorplan that responds well to contemporary updates. With targeted improvements to kitchen and baths, the home will command higher price-per-square-foot in Golden’s tight market for single-story homes on large lots. Buyers will appreciate the practical benefits of main-floor living paired with expansion potential below grade.
Location is exceptional for balanced mountain-suburban living: Applewood Park is a short stroll away, and neighborhood favorites like Teller’s Taproom and Mountain Tap Bar & Grill are within a mile. I-70 access is quick for weekend mountain trips, while downtown Golden and Denver events remain easily reachable. This property is ideal for buyers who want immediate livability with room to customize and grow.

A factual market snapshot around 1725 Alkire Ct.
Golden and western Jefferson County remain desirable for buyers who prioritize access to mountains, trails, and quality schools while keeping commutes to Denver manageable. As of early 2026 the local market shows limited inventory for well-sited single-family homes, keeping median prices elevated around the mid–$600Ks for comparable properties. Single-level homes with substantial outdoor space are especially sought after by downsizers, families, and buyers seeking long-term hold opportunities. Expect a competitive showing environment: homes in this corridor typically see quicker transactions and can command premiums when updated. Given the property’s large lot and practical layout, an investor or owner-occupant who renovates selectively (kitchen and baths, cosmetic updates) is likely to realize strong upside.
