Live in one unit and rent the other to offset your mortgage, keep it as a turnkey investment, or host extended family/friends with total privacy since each unit has its own exterior entrance, kitchen, and laundry. Upstairs, you will find a spacious one bedroom unit flooded with natural light, newly refinished hardwood floors, an updated bathroom, a generously sized kitchen, and central A/C. The lower unit offers two bedrooms, an updated bathroom with a walk-in rainfall shower, and a 2023 kitchen renovation. The big-ticket items are already done for you: bathroom renovations for both units in 2018, new windows in 2018, separate HVAC systems and water heaters for each unit, an upstairs tankless water heater in 2023, and a new front door in 2025. Outside, the massive lot is a rare find with a huge fenced backyard shaded by mature trees, a one car garage, and plenty of off-street parking. The location is unbeatable as you are blocks from the walking loop, playgrounds, and picnic areas at Sloan's Lake. Dinner is easy with Edgewater Public Market and downtown Edgewater nearby, and the Sheridan light rail station is a short walk away for a quick ride into downtown Denver.
