California modern in Applewood. Tucked on a quiet street, this 1960 ranch has been thoughtfully refined into a light-filled, single-level retreat with stunning mid-century character.

Bamboo floors carry from the sun-bright living room, anchored by a gas fireplace, into the open kitchen with slab granite, white cabinetry, Jenn-Air range and refrigerator, and Bosch dishwasher. The primary suite includes a remodeled three-quarter bath with custom tile and walk-in shower; a 2nd full bath down the hall, newer carpet, and a flexible mudroom/drop zone add practical depth.

Major systems are dialed in and meticulously maintained: 2025 IBC combination boiler with two-zone radiant heat and on-demand hot water, Class 4 hail-resistant roof, 2015 electrical upgrade with exterior-mounted panel, 220V EV outlet in the attached two-car garage, Breeze-Air ducted evaporative cooling (2023) with fan mode, and lined crawl space with 5ft clearance, perfect for added storage.

Outside, the 9,148-sqft lot is calm and private, with mature plantings, xeriscaped beds, a covered back porch, gas-plumbed grill, refreshed side fencing and gates, and a huge backyard that opens to a tree-lined creek corridor. The tree canopy and creek create a peaceful natural edge behind the home, with filtered views and a rare sense of separation from surrounding neighbors.

This is Applewood at its best: close to Golden, the foothills, Clear Creek, South Table Mountain, and fast west-side access into the mountains. Single-level living, thoughtful updates, and a creekside Applewood setting.
