Big backyard. Big pool. Big personality. Fabulous neighborhood. Welcome to this beautifully reimagined mid-century modern brick ranch in coveted Applewood Knolls, where timeless design meets effortless Colorado living. Thoughtfully remodeled and extensively improved, this home delivers the best of both worlds: gorgeous finishes paired with major infrastructure upgrades. The light-filled main level features a stunning chef's kitchen with quartz countertops, custom glass-tile backsplash, energy-efficient stainless-steel appliances, skylight and oversized breakfast bar. Bamboo hardwood floors, fresh paint and two wood-burning fireplaces add warmth and character throughout. Four main-level bedrooms and three updated baths provide comfortable living, while the lower level offers an additional bedroom and bath with newly renovated bath w/ spa-like feel. The finished lower level adds exceptional flexibility with a spacious family/media room, custom mid-century-inspired wet bar, fifth bedroom with egress window and bath—ideal for guests, movie nights, a home gym or multigenerational living. And then there's the backyard. Set on a rare 1/3-acre private, park-like lot, this outdoor oasis is made for Colorado summers. Enjoy a large, natural-gas-heated in-ground pool with automatic safety cover, generous patio space, mature landscaping and two gas lines—one for grilling and one for a fire pit. It's the kind of backyard designed for long summer days, pool parties and memorable evenings with family and friends. Major improvements include a new sewer line, newly poured concrete driveway, rock landscaping, new French drainage system, updated electrical and plumbing, newer windows, newer carpet, fresh paint and more. All of this in an exceptional Applewood Knolls location, close to Crown Hill Park, Gold's Marketplace, top-rated schools, Red Rocks, downtown Denver and the foothills. Beautifully updated. Thoughtfully improved. Seriously fun to live in.
