Berkeley Traditional — Mountain Views, Trex Deck & Finished Basement
This Berkeley Traditional blends practical daily living with well-chosen upgrades: 2,360 finished square feet, 3 bedrooms and 3.5 baths, a finished lower level, and outdoor spaces that extend the home’s footprint. From the curb, the quiet cul‑de‑sac location and tidy landscaping set the tone. Step inside to hardwood floors on the main level, plantation shutters, and a gas‑log fireplace that anchors the living room. The kitchen’s wet bar and newer dishwasher (2022) make entertaining easy; adjacent dining space and a flow to the deck keep gatherings comfortable.
Upstairs, two bedrooms enjoy mountain views — the primary suite and an additional upper bedroom both capture evening color over the foothills. The finished basement provides generous recreation space for media, a home gym, or play area and could be reconfigured to create two bedrooms if you want a four‑bed layout; systems are in place to support such upgrades. Mechanical updates are pragmatic: roof replaced in 2017, furnace and A/C installed in 2019, and a roughly 10‑year‑old water heater, giving buyers immediate peace of mind.
Outside, a Trex deck (2006) and a 2019 pergola highlight a low‑maintenance yard with sprinkler service — ideal for grilling, relaxing, or quick weekend plantings. The attached two‑car garage with epoxied floor makes DIY and storage easier while the modest lot size means less upkeep and more time to enjoy local amenities.
Location is a standout: short walks or quick drives bring you to Tennyson Street’s boutiques, coffee shops, and restaurants, while Regis University sits just minutes away. Sloan’s Lake and multiple neighborhood parks provide easy outdoor options. For buyers prioritizing a move‑in ready house with mechanical reliability, outdoor living, and flexible basement space in a walkable NW Denver pocket, 5308 Stuart St is a compelling fit.

A factual market snapshot around 5308 Stuart St.
Berkeley and adjacent NW Denver neighborhoods remain popular with buyers seeking proximity to urban amenities without downtown price premiums. Inventory in 2026 continues to be tight relative to demand, especially for homes with finished basements, reliable mechanicals, and outdoor entertaining areas. Median sale prices for single-family homes in the immediate corridor typically sit below premium Highlands pockets but above broader Denver averages; homes in the 2,000–2,500 SF range commonly trade between $750k and $900k depending on finish, lot, and views. With system updates (roof, HVAC) and a finished lower level, this home should attract both owner-occupant buyers and investors looking for stable rental demand near Regis University. Expect active showings and competitive offers in a sub‑two‑week DOM environment when marketed effectively.
