Surrounded by towering trees and groupings of dazzling perennial flowers, this incredibly charming "Cape Cod" cottage is settled on a spacious .38/acre coveted corner lot. Primed for a sleek addition, pop-top or full redevelopment, the design and setting conjure east coast vibes. The interior is trimmed with beautiful hardwoods and scenic windows. A wood- burning fireplace is the focal point in the living room as hardwoods traverse down a hallway leading to the home's 2- bedrooms and full-bath outfitted with glass-block windows, a pedestal sink, and tile floor and shower-surround. Adjacent to the living room, the cozy dining room offers passage into the galley kitchen adorned with timeless oak cabinets, a 4-burner gas range and Kenmore appliances. A pocket-door off the kitchen conceals the mud room with stacked Kenmore washer/dryer and an entrance to a bonus 3/4 -bathroom. Also, in the mud room is an exterior door leading to the single-car, detached garage accessible via a breezeway lined with flagstone. The flagstone patio continues into the treelined backyard and provides the foundation for a perfect outdoor entertainment space complete with garden beds, sitting area, brick fireplace and built-in, al fresco kitchen with gas grille and food prep area. Short distance to the natural haven of Crown Hill Regional Park and Lake, where birds and other wildlife dwell; and to Gold's Marketplace, a coming-soon hot spot for restaurants and retail in Wheat Ridge. Close proximity to a bikeway along 26th Ave, easy access to Sixth Avenue/I-70, and in the crosshairs of the foothills & Wheat Ridge/Highlands.
