Welcome to this beautifully updated Arvada ranch — the perfect blend of comfort, style, and location! Nestled just a short walk from Lake Arbor Park and the Little Dry Creek Trail, this gem is ideal for anyone who loves the outdoors and wants quick access to nearby shopping, dining, and everyday amenities. Step inside to a light-filled, move-in-ready layout with engineered hardwood floors throughout, fresh paint, and thoughtful updates around every corner. The modern kitchen shines with newer stainless steel appliances, sleek black granite tile countertops, and crisp cabinetry with updated hardware — perfect for weeknight meals or weekend gatherings. Both the spacious primary bedroom and the secondary bedroom feature generous walk-in closets, and the primary suite offers direct access to the beautifully renovated bathroom, complete with a custom tiled shower and upgraded vanity. Major updates bring peace of mind: a new water heater, newer AC/furnace (approx. 5 years old), a newer roof (5 years old), an encapsulated crawlspace with a vapor barrier, a radon mitigation system, and a new electrical panel (2020). Out back, you’ll love the large patio area for BBQs, a cozy fire pit, or just unwinding under the stars. There’s also a cedar storage shed for garden tools and lawn equipment. The attached 2-car garage offers tons of storage and shelving, a built-in gas heater, plus an additional storage closet out back for added flexibility. You’ll appreciate the new concrete driveway, tons of off-street parking, and RV/boat/toy parking on both sides of the house. One of the best perks? The backyard backs to city-maintained open space that connects directly to the Little Dry Creek Trail — perfect for morning walks and bike rides. This well-loved home truly has everything on one level, making it ideal for anyone seeking easy main-level living or looking to downsize in style. Nothing left to do but move in and enjoy this turn-key Arvada gem!
