2126 S Nelson St, # 1, Denver, CO 80227

Welcome home to a light-filled Lakewood property tucked into a quiet, established neighborhood, with an open, comfortable layout, plenty of room to spread out, and a backyard that feels like a little retreat from the city. The main living level features an open-concept kitchen, dining and living area with warm wood flooring throughout. The updated kitchen has deep navy cabinetry, a distinctive copper-toned backsplash, stainless steel appliances, generous counter space and a spacious layout that opens directly into the living space. A wood-burning brick fireplace anchors the living room, while abundant windows bring in natural light and views of the surrounding trees. The home offers 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, along with approximately 1,300 square feet of living space. The primary bedroom includes a walk-in closet and an updated shower with a rain showerhead. Newer in-home front-loading laundry machines are included. One of the home's best features is outside. The large, established backyard is filled with mature trees and landscaping, including fruit trees and a grapevine, with plenty of space to relax, garden or simply enjoy Colorado's beautiful weather. The home also includes a back patio/deck area overlooking the yard. The location offers an unusual combination of a peaceful neighborhood setting and incredible walkability. From the house, it's an easy walk to Carmody Recreation Center, pickleball courts, indoor and outdoor pools, neighborhood parks and lakes, as well as everyday favorites including a coffee shop, restaurants, a grocery store, pharmacy, bakery and several local breweries. You can leave the car at home for everything from a morning coffee or grocery run to an afternoon at the pool or an evening out. And when you do need to go farther, getting around is easy. The home is conveniently located near a main thoroughfare, providing straightforward access toward downtown Denver, the mountains and nearby public transit options making it equally convenient for commuting, heading into the city or escaping west for a day in the foothills. Several bike paths are easy to hop on, as well. Additional features include a dramatic light-filled entry, evaporative cooling, solar panels, updated windows, and both driveway-pad and street parking. The garage is reserved for the property owner as a separate workspace and is not included with the rental. It has its own exterior access and is separate from the tenant's living space. The downstairs serves as a separate apartment space that is rented to another tenant with private, separate entry and a private patio on the north side of the house. This home offers something increasingly hard to find in Lakewood: space, character, a beautiful established yard, a quiet neighborhood and the ability to walk to so much of what you need.
