Rare opportunity to own a 10,454 sq ft (.24 acre) oversized lot in the heart of Golden with foothill views just minutes from Washington Avenue. Zoned R 2, the property lives much like a single family home while offering the added flexibility of a fully separate lower level apartment ideal for multigenerational living or a housing offset opportunity. The lower level features its own private entrance, kitchen, living area, and bedroom, creating a private space for extended family, long term guests, or owners seeking additional income potential. The main home features bamboo flooring, vaulted ceilings, and an open concept layout designed for comfortable everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen and living areas flow seamlessly to a flagstone patio, creating an inviting space for gatherings and outdoor dining. The primary suite offers sweeping views of Mount Zion and includes a spacious walk in closet and a five piece ensuite bath. Outside, the beautifully landscaped and expansive yard is a rare find this close to downtown Golden. Alley access with ample parking, rare RV parking, and a private gated entrance adds to this rare opportunity. Golden's trail systems and foothill access are just minutes away, while world class skiing in the Colorado mountains is within reach for weekend adventures. Located near Washington Avenue, downtown Golden's restaurants, breweries, and the Colorado School of Mines, the property also benefits from its proximity to the future Clayworks redevelopment site. The planned $9M Clayworks project will transform the former CoorsTek campus into a vibrant mixed use district over the next decade, bringing new housing, retail, and public spaces to the area. Buyers who secure property nearby may benefit from the long term growth and energy this project is expected to bring to downtown Golden. Opportunities to own land, flexibility, and location this close to downtown Golden rarely come available.
