You're a short walk from Natural Grocers, Sprouts, the 4th Street restaurants and breweries, and the Loveland Chilson Recreation Center and Library, with easy access to the Loveland Recreation Trail - and Rocky Mountain National Park and Larimer County recreation areas like Devil's Backbone are minutes away.The large, oversized two-car garage is a standout for car enthusiasts - a true workshop-caliber space for vehicles, tools, and mechanical projects.Inside, the home has been thoughtfully updated throughout: new light fixtures, double-pane windows, and a freshly renovated upstairs bathroom finished with a diamond-coated shower door. A new wood-burning chimney anchors the living space for cool Colorado evenings, while a whole-home water filter system and Pulse high-speed internet keep daily life comfortable and connected.The kitchen and laundry come move-in ready, with a new refrigerator, new dishwasher, and a new washer and dryer included. Downstairs delivers real flexibility: a kitchenette and lock-off entrance create a true basement suite, well-suited to a rental unit or multigenerational living, with an included bar fridge and a mounted TV that conveys.Outside, a covered, recently refinished deck extends the living space into the fresh air, and the backyard offers room for garden beds or yard games. Fruit-producing plum and hybrid apple trees join lilac, salvia, butterfly bush, and nine rose bushes, while mature peonies and bleeding heart return season after season - a pollinator-friendly, gardener's-dream landscape already established and thriving.The result is a refreshed, low-maintenance home with genuine character, income potential, lower payments, and one of Loveland's most walkable locations.
