1265 Urban St, Lakewood, CO 80401

Description

If you've been looking for a house hack, investment property or multigenerational setup, 1265 Urban gives you two homes on one fully fenced 0.30-acre lot with no HOA. A 2 bed, 1 bath main house sits in front and a detached 1 bed, 3/4 bath carriage house sits in back, along with a finished studio and a detached 2-car garage.

The carriage house is a fully independent accessory dwelling unit with its own kitchen, quartz counters, an island and a dishwasher. The owner ran it as a successful short-term rental on Airbnb while living in the main house, with many guests in town for Red Rocks shows. It works just as well as a guest house, a mother-in-law suite or a long-term rental. Rental history and income projections are available on request.

That setup gives you options. Live in the main house and rent the ADU, live in the ADU and rent the main house, keep extended family or guests close with their own space, or hold both as rentals for dual income. It's a more flexible alternative to a duplex, with no shared walls.

The main house has an updated kitchen with granite counters, in-unit laundry, fresh paint inside and out, and a private courtyard of its own. The roof was replaced in 2020. The finished 11 x 21 detached studio works as a home office, gym or workshop, so no bedroom has to double as a workspace. The garage and off-street parking leave room for an RV, boat, trailer and extra vehicles, and the level lot has a country feel with room to spread out. R-2 zoning may allow future expansion.

The location keeps you close to downtown Golden, Applewood, Clear Creek Crossing, Red Rocks Amphitheatre and Denver, with quick access to I-70. For buyers who want their home to help cover the mortgage, this is the one to see. Ask about a preferred lender incentive of up to 1.5% through Three Point Mortgage toward closing costs or a rate buydown.
