Step into a thoughtfully refreshed ranch in the Cherry Creek School District — a rare combination of single-level convenience and expansive outdoor space. This 1958 home has been updated with redone wood floors on the main level, modern lighting, fresh paint, a newer roof and hot water heater, and an open, bright kitchen accented with white cabinetry and gold hardware. The main floor delivers three true bedrooms including a primary with a private half-bath plus a separate full bathroom for family convenience. Large bay windows and a primary living room with a cozy fireplace create comfortable gathering spaces for everyday life.

The finished lower level expands the home’s usable footprint with a large fourth bedroom, a second living/media room anchored by a second fireplace, a full bath and a generous laundry/utility area — perfect for a guest suite, home office, or fitness room. Overall living area of approximately 2,238 SF offers flexibility for family needs and multi-use living.

Outside, the deep, private backyard is an entertainer’s asset: mature trees, landscaped planting beds and a designated fire-pit area create a backyard oasis with plenty of room for play, gardening, or alfresco evenings. The property sits on a larger-than-average lot (7,492 SF) for the area and provides easy proximity to Yale and I‑25 for a quick commute to Cherry Creek shopping, dining and the Denver Tech Center.

If you’re prioritizing schools, single-level living and usable backyard space, this home is a compelling pick: updated systems and finishes minimize immediate work while the basement and lot offer upside for personalized improvements.
