About the property

West Woods Ranch Contemporary — 5 Beds, Mountain & Golf Views

This thoughtfully updated West Woods Ranch home pairs panoramic golf-course and foothill views with practical family living across three finished levels. At approximately 3,124 sq ft, the residence offers a flexible 5-bedroom layout (or 4 + office) and 3.5 baths. The main level centers on a chef-ready kitchen — granite counters, stainless appliances including a double oven and cooktop, and an integrated pull-out pantry — that flows seamlessly into a roomy family room with a fireplace and direct access to the covered backyard deck. Solid maple flooring and new carpet accent refreshed interiors, and fresh exterior/interior paint presents a move-in ready palette.

Upstairs, the primary suite is designed for comfort and views: a private balcony looks out over open green space and toward the mountains, while the en suite bath delivers luxury touches including radiant floor heating, a walk-in shower, dual vanities, and a custom walk-in closet. Three additional upstairs bedrooms and a full bath serve family or guests. The finished basement expands living options with a fifth bedroom, full bath, and a dedicated media/rec room—perfect for family movie nights, guests, or a home gym.

Outdoors, the yard supports both planted beds and easy maintenance, with a covered deck for al fresco dinners and direct trail access for morning walks, runs, or bike rides. The finished three-car garage provides significant storage/parking capacity; utilities include public water/sewer and natural gas. Located with convenient access to Olde Town Arvada, Golden, downtown Denver, and the foothills, this home balances everyday convenience with weekend recreation.

For buyers seeking a refined suburban home with exceptional views and a usable lower-level that adds real lifestyle value, 17340 W 70th Ave is an attractive opportunity. Schedule your showing with Zach McGuire at RE/MAX Alliance: 303-420-5352.

Editorial market perspective

This segment of Arvada (West Woods Ranch / 80007) attracts buyers looking for larger single-family homes near open space and golf/course amenities. The local market in early 2026 is more balanced than the preceding seller's market years — inventory has normalized but quality homes with views and finished lower levels still command premiums. Median area single-family prices sit well below this list price (reflecting the broader Arvada market median), but homes with comparable size, condition, and views typically trade at or above list when marketed aggressively. Expect marketing windows of 2–6 weeks for competitively priced listings and slightly longer for aggressive over-list strategies. Buyer pool: families, professionals commuting to Denver/Boulder, and buyers seeking immediate lifestyle access to trails and the foothills. Confirm comps and local demand with your agent; interest-rate sensitivity remains a factor at the $1M+ price band.
