Remodeled 2-Bed + Loft Townhome with Patio & Trail Access
Tour this thoughtfully updated 2-bedroom plus loft townhouse in West Lakewood with direct access to the Bear Creek trail system. The main level welcomes you with fresh paint and upgraded carpet padding and flows into a remodeled kitchen featuring rich wood cabinetry, ample counter space and modern appliances. An open living/dining arrangement centers on a cozy wood-burning fireplace and steps out to a small private patio — a quiet spot for a morning coffee or container garden.
Upstairs the vaulted loft serves as a dedicated home office or den and sits above a generous primary bedroom that includes two large closets and a fully remodeled bath. The lower level adds meaningful flexibility: a true bedroom with egress window, a second remodeled full bath, and a separate rec/family room that can function as media, gym or roommate living space. This configuration creates an attractive roommate rental layout or comfortable multi-use family home.
The complex lifestyle elevates the package: two community pools, a clubhouse and tennis courts are included, and the property sits adjacent to the 7-mile Bear Creek Trail corridor for walking, running and biking. Practical features include in-unit laundry, double-pane windows and skylights, wood and tile flooring, and one reserved parking space (#348) right in front of the unit. Easy access to C-470, bus routes and the Belmar/West Colfax retail nodes make commuting and errands straightforward.
Whether you’re an owner-occupant who needs a dedicated home office and finished lower level or an investor seeking a well-located, low-maintenance rental with good amenity demand, this turnkey townhome is ready. Schedule a showing to see how the loft, finished basement and trail adjacency create a rare combination in this price band.

A factual market snapshot around 8787 W Cornell Ave #8.
Lakewood continues to see steady demand for updated condos and townhomes due to proximity to outdoor recreation and reasonable commute access into Denver. For units in the $300k–$400k band, active buyers include first-time purchasers and investors seeking lower-cost entry into the metro area. Inventory remains relatively tight for turnkey, updated units with amenities and trail access; typical time-to-contract for well-priced units in similar complexes has often been within 2–6 weeks over the past 12–18 months. With a list price of $359,000 (~$257/sf), this property sits competitively in the market: expect strong interest if priced and marketed aggressively, particularly from buyers prioritizing the loft office, finished basement bedroom and recreation amenities.
