Live in one home and let the other help pay for it. This property pairs a 2-bedroom main residence with a detached 1-bedroom carriage house/ADU, plus a finished outbuilding, detached two-car garage, no HOA, and room for the RV, boat, trailer, and extra vehicles, all on a fully fenced 0.30-acre lot. The setup is ideal for house hacking, STR or long-term rental income, or multigenerational living. The carriage house was previously operated as a successful short-term rental while the seller lived in the main home, with many guests visiting for Red Rocks shows and other Front Range adventures. It also works well for guests, extended family, or a long-term tenant. Fresh interior and exterior paint gives the property a clean, cohesive feel. Both homes feature updated kitchens, with granite in the main residence and quartz in the carriage house. The finished outbuilding creates dedicated space for a home office, studio, gym, workshop, or hobby room without sacrificing a bedroom. A private fenced courtyard between the main residence and outbuilding adds another usable outdoor space. The oversized fully fenced, level lot includes a detached two-car garage, substantial off-street parking, and separation from neighbors. It has a country-style feel with room to spread out, while still keeping you close to Applewood, Clear Creek Crossing, downtown Golden, Red Rocks, Denver, and the foothills. Beyond its current two-residence setup, this R-2 zoned lot may offer future expansion or redevelopment potential for a buyer who wants to explore the possibilities. For a buyer looking for a house hack, income property, or flexible investment property with room to live, work, rent, and grow, this is a rare combination.
