Truly special property that has been owned by the same family for more than 50 years. Close to amenities such as Olde Town Arvada, bus or light rail downtown, and shopping. At the same time, the large lot is like having your own private park with mature pine trees, fruit trees, and a large lawn that would be great for kids or dogs. Fully fenced. Two large animals (horses, goats, cows) are also allowed on the property. Also suitable for chickens or building a huge garden (irrigation water rights are not included but could be available separately if buyer is interested). A homestead in the heart of town! A professional builder originally built this custom house for himself and he made it like a tank with the highest quality materials and it has been lovingly maintained since then. It has a caisson foundation, solid brick exterior, #1 Pella windows, all kinds of custom woodwork and ceilings, solid oak cabinets, premium 60 year shingles, hot water heat (great for those with allergies -- no dirty vents), and more. The inside of the house is very quiet, both from external noise and from noise within the house itself. The house still retains much of its mid century modern charm but some buyers might want to make some stylistic updates -- decide for yourself what you'd want to change or just move in as is because it is quality.
