Listing details for 8835 W Mississippi Ave, Lakewood, CO 80226 : This beautiful, classic mid century ranch home sits on over 1/2 acre and offers a unique "country in the city" experience! From its lovely front xeriscaped rock garden area to the sweeping backyard, this is simply perfect for the budding urban gardener and beyond. With its R-1-12 zoning this property has TONS of potential - from adding an accessory dwelling unit (possible rental) to having large or small animals ranging from chickens to llamas to horses and beyond..And hark! Do I hear a relaxing babbling brook? Yes! Just outside your back fence you'll find the serene Weir Gulch gently flowing through the North edge of the property. The main level is super charming with great natural light throughout and original solid oak hardwood floors. The delightful kitchen has custom wood cabinetry, granite counter tops, new tile back splash and even a double oven! Moving into the open living/dining room you'll find plenty of space for relaxing and looking out over your sweeping property from the elevated deck just off of the living room. The charm continues with the quaint full bath and fun mid-century touches still remaining. A generously sized main bedroom and 2nd bedroom finish out the upstairs. Downstairs to the walk-out basement - this partially finished basement is perfectly set up: 1/2 finished with a large family room large enough for a home office, TV area and even a possible 3rd bedroom area. Or with a little creativity, you could convert part of the space and make a 3rd bedroom "primary suite". The other 1/2 of the basement has been set up as a creative space art studio complete with its own sink/counter tops and refrigerator and project area. Just 5 minutes to all the shops at Belmar and more: Belmar Lake Park, the cinema, whole foods market, great restaurants, target...and all your shopping needs. Oh yeah - 5 minutes to lightrail too :) Don't miss this special home!
