CALLING ALL HOUSE HACKERS! Back on the market, due to no fault of the seller, don't miss your chance this time around. Your opportunity to own a beautifully updated 1960s brick ranch on a spacious lot in the heart of Lakewood! With thoughtful upgrades throughout and a flexible layout designed for multigenerational living or house hacking, this home is set up to be a CASH COW. Step inside to find brand-new luxury vinyl plank flooring, fresh interior paint, and a bright, open main level with details like built-in shelving in the dining area. The updated kitchen offers newer appliances along with an attached sunroom that features charming built-in dining benches and views of the backyard. Just off the back of the main level, you'll find a fully equipped studio suite with its private exterior entrance, full kitchen, 3/4 bath, laundry, and private living area. This space can easily be walled off for complete separation, making it ideal for rental income, guests, or a secluded home office. The fully finished basement has been thoughtfully designed as a mother-in-law suite, featuring three conforming bedrooms with egress windows, a remodeled bathroom, its own laundry setup, and a kitchenette that's nearly complete, just missing a stove. Additional highlights include updated plumbing, electrical, and mechanicals within the past six years, so you can rest easy. Outside, enjoy a covered patio, a spacious grassy backyard, and a wide driveway with ample space for RV or extra vehicle parking. Conveniently located near the light rail, shopping and dining at Belmar and Union, and minutes from Green Mountain trails and 6th Avenue for easy access to the mountains or downtown. Whether you're an investor, a multi-generational household, or a savvy buyer seeking flexibility, this home offers the space, layout, and upgrades to match.
