Mid-century style, modern updates, and an extraordinary garden setting come together in this beautifully renovated Bear Valley ranch. Set on an impressive .30-acre lot, this home offers something increasingly rare in Denver: space, privacy, mature landscaping, and a wonderful connection to the outdoors.
The home's mid-century character shines through its clean lines, thoughtful layout, and abundant natural light, while tasteful renovations create a fresh, contemporary feel. The open main level features a beautifully remodeled kitchen with shaker cabinetry and honed black granite countertops, along with three bedrooms and a light-filled remodeled bathroom. The finished basement adds even more versatility with a large family room, fourth bedroom, 3/4 bathroom, laundry, and workshop/utility room.
Outside, the lush lot is the true showstopper. Mature trees, fruit trees, and established gardens create a private urban retreat with plenty of room to entertain, garden, relax, and enjoy the seasons. Located in a quiet Bear Valley neighborhood, the home offers easy access to Bear Creek trails, shopping, restaurants, and everyday conveniences. Highway 285 is less than a mile away, providing convenient access to both the mountains and downtown Denver.
A distinctive mid-century home on a truly special lot—offering character, privacy, and a lifestyle that's hard to find in Denver.
