Move-in ready townhome ideal for first-time homebuyers looking for comfort, smart upgrades, and a location close to everything. This 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath corner unit features south and east facing windows that fill the home with natural light. Inside, you'll find durable luxury vinyl plank flooring on the main level that is pet-friendly and easy to maintain, along with fresh interior paint. The updated kitchen includes granite countertops, updated cabinets, a slate tile backsplash, and stainless steel appliances. A cozy wood-burning fireplace adds warmth and charm during Colorado winters. Upstairs are two spacious bedrooms and a full bathroom. Updated double-pane windows help improve energy efficiency and sound reduction. Major systems have been updated with a newer furnace and hot water heater, providing added peace of mind. A rare perk in this community is the in-unit washer and dryer, a convenience many units do not offer. Step outside to your private fenced patio, perfect for BBQs, outdoor dining, or relaxing in the Colorado sunshine. Residents enjoy a community swimming pool, and Founders Park is just to the east with open green space, a playground, and picnic areas. Location is a standout. The home is minutes to Belmar, a popular destination for restaurants, shopping, Target, Whole Foods, coffee shops, and entertainment. Heritage Lakewood Belmar Park is also nearby, offering walking trails, lake views, and beautiful open space. Another benefit: this property is legally a townhome rather than a condominium, which may allow for more favorable financing and potentially lower mortgage interest rates. For buyers searching "starter home near Belmar," "affordable Lakewood townhome," or "first home with outdoor space," this home checks the boxes. With interest rates recently reaching their lowest levels in four years, it may be the perfect time to stop renting and start building equity through homeownership.
