Set in Arvada’s coveted Allendale neighborhood, this beautifully reimagined ranch is anything but ordinary. Originally built in 1960 as a “cottage school,” the home offers a rare and remarkable footprint with more than 1,000 additional square feet compared to neighboring ranches, creating a sense of space and possibility that is hard to find in the area. Thoughtful updates blend seamlessly with the home’s original character and soul. Rich hickory hardwood floors warm the main level, while the fully redesigned kitchen serves as the heart of the home with quartz countertops, custom shaker cabinetry, a five-burner gas range with hood, and a pantry designed for both style and function. The primary suite is a genuine refuge. Barn doors on two generous closets, a spa-inspired shower, and the quiet luxury of heated floors make it a space you won't want to leave. Two additional bedrooms and full bath on main level. Downstairs, the finished basement expands the living space with three additional bedrooms, one non-conforming, updated bathroom, and a large recreation room perfect for guests, work-from-home flexibility, or movie nights. A private side entrance offers exciting potential for multigenerational living, rental income, a private guest suite, or simply more room for the people you love. Outside, a pergola, firepit, and beautiful gardens create the kind of outdoor sanctuary that makes staying home feel like a destination. Thoughtfully updated throughout while preserving every bit of its character and soul, this is the one that defies comparison. Ideally located just minutes from vibrant Olde Town Arvada, the Apex Recreation Center, parks, dining, shopping, and easy access to I-70 for mountain adventures, this is a truly rare opportunity to own a home with history, heart, and exceptional versatility.
