If you want to be close to everything Golden has to offer, yet have space and privacy, this Apple Meadows home for well under $475,000 is the perfect fit for you! This home has many unique features that you rarely find in Golden, including a 1,040 sqft detached garage currently set-up with 2 oversized garage bays with a workshop at the back and a nearly 450 sqft recreation/craft room (could be converted back to third garage bay). This home is also one of just a handful of homes that backs to public space, offering beautiful Flatiron views from your private yard. Inside the home, you will find a nicely updated kitchen with vaulted ceilings and sky lights, a wood-burning fireplace in the living room, and a huge master suite. This lovely home has been well taken care-of by the same owners for nearly five decades and will be getting a new roof in the next week or two. From this home, you are just steps from Ralston Creek Trail access, which take you into Long Lake Regional Park, close to neighborhood parks, and about 10 minutes from downtown Golden.
