About the property

Updated 3-Bed Ranch with Steel Roof & Oversized 2-Car Garage

This thoughtfully maintained single-level home at 647 Denver Ave delivers durable construction, useful updates, and functional everyday spaces. The footprint provides roughly 1,672 finished square feet with a main-level primary bedroom and two additional bedrooms. Structural durability is an early standout: the house was built with 2x6 exterior framing and fitted with a pro-panel steel roof, giving you longer-term protection and lower near-term roofing risk. Recent improvements include a professionally renovated crawl space with moisture barrier and pump (installed ~2 years ago), remodeled full bathrooms (~3 years ago), replacement water heater, and new wood flooring in key living areas (~2 years). Double-pane insulated windows were added in 2009.

The kitchen retains original solid wood cabinetry and offers classic function: gas range, refrigerator, dishwasher and built-in pantry shelving that keep the work triangle efficient. Daily comfort comes from baseboard hot-water heat; prospective buyers should confirm boiler/fuel details during inspection. The oversized 2-car garage includes a convenient half bath—useful for a workshop, hobby space, or mudroom conversion. Outside, the lot (6,098 sqft) is tidy and usable with good landscaping and room for outdoor sitting, gardening, or a small RV/gear parking area.

From a location standpoint, De Beque appeals to buyers who prioritize recreation and affordability. You're a short drive to I-70 for easy commuting or weekend escapes into the De Beque Canyon and Colorado River corridor. Local services are small-town scale; larger retail, medical and employment options are found in Rifle and Grand Junction along I-70. Whether you’re looking for a durable primary residence, second home near outdoor amenities, or a rental with stable demand, this home reduces early capital needs while offering several clear upside touches—particularly light kitchen modernization or comfort upgrades such as cooling.

Schedule a tour to see the thoughtful crawl-space remediation and the quality of the recent interior updates. With reliable systems, a solid roof, and a main-level primary bedroom, 647 Denver Ave is a practical and well-maintained choice in De Beque’s market.

Editorial market perspective

De Beque sits within the broader Grand Junction / Mesa County marketplace where mid-2020s trends show steady but moderate appreciation. Inventory for smaller towns tends to be tighter than long-term averages, and buyers searching for affordability and outdoor access are active. At a listing price of $339,000 (~$203/SF), this property is competitive versus other updated mid-sized homes in the rural market. Expect modest buyer interest from local owner-occupiers, commuters to Rifle/Grand Junction, and investors seeking rental yields around mid-single digits gross. Key selling advantages here are the steel roof, recent crawl-space remediation, and updated baths—attributes that shorten due-diligence timelines and appeal to pragmatic buyers.
