Updated 3-Bed Ranch on 10,200 SF Lot — Move-In Ready South Denver Home
This well-maintained single-level ranch at 3078 S Dayton Ct delivers generous living space and a rare lot in this pocket of South Denver. At 2,241 square feet the home lays out comfortably: a warm living room centered on a cozy fireplace, a light and updated kitchen with stainless-steel appliances, plus three bedrooms and two full baths. Recent interior paint and new flooring create a clean, modern backdrop — you’ll appreciate the move-in readiness without the wait.
Step outside to a fully fenced 10,200 sqft lot with a private patio and broad yard space that invites gardening, play, or future expansion. The exterior has also been refreshed, improving curb appeal on a quiet residential court. Practical details include a 2-car garage footprint and utility connections for electricity and natural gas. The property is offered with a 100-day home warranty for buyer activation, limiting near-term maintenance exposure.
Built in 1971 and thoughtfully updated, this home is ideal for owners seeking a single-level plan or investors targeting a stable rental with strong neighborhood demand. Floorplan flow and the size of the lot create optionality: outdoor enhancements or a permitted addition/ADU may be considered (confirm with City of Denver planning).

A factual market snapshot around 3078 S Dayton Ct.
South Denver’s single-family market in early 2026 is showing steady demand for move-in-ready, single-level homes on larger lots. Inventory remains relatively low in many established neighborhoods, so well-presented listings typically attract both owner-occupant buyers and investors. Median detached-home prices in nearby pockets commonly fall in the mid-$500Ks, and well-priced renovated ranches trade competitively. Given the recent public-record sale at $501,200 (Jan 2026) and the current list at $550,000, this home sits squarely in the active pricing band for the area — attractive to buyers who value turnkey condition and outdoor space. Expect average days on market to be moderate (several weeks) when priced to comparable condition and lot attributes.
Municipal single-family residential zoning; typical allowances: single-family home and accessory uses; potential ADU/regulations depend on local overlay.
