About This Home

Why choose between living in one of Denver's most desirable neighborhoods and owning an income-producing property when you can have both? Located just moments from the Highlands and Berkeley, this charming and affordable 1-bedroom, 1-bath home offers the perfect combination of location, character, and investment potential. The standout feature is the oversized 2 car detached garage, which is currently leased for $325 per month, providing immediate rental income to help offset your mortgage. The oversized garage includes a generous storage closet (7.5' x 18.5') providing even more space. A rare detail for a unit like this. There is also an off-street reserved parking space available for the owner. Inside, you'll find beautiful hardwood floors and a bright, functional layout with both front and back entrances. Classic cove ceilings add character and a secluded end unit means quiet living close to the city. Step outside to enjoy your private patio and yard area, plus access to a community garden. Enjoy an unbeatable walk-able lifestyle with a grocery store just steps away, along with easy access to neighborhood restaurants, shops, parks, and everything the Highlands and Berkeley have to offer. Affordable, adorable, and income-producing—this is a rare opportunity to enjoy home ownership while generating rental income from day one. In Wheat Ridge, half a block over the Denver line, just adjacent to Berkeley neighborhood (just NW of Highlands). Berkeley living without the price tag. Easy access to bicycle everywhere. Unit has been rented for $1500/month recently, making it an excellent investment opportunity.
