180 Estes Street Lakewood CO 80226 MLS #REC3984905

Welcome to Meadowlark — one of Lakewood’s most beloved established neighborhoods, where tree-lined streets, pride of ownership, and larger lots create the kind of community buyers search for but rarely find at this price point. This is the opportunity savvy buyers and investors wait for: a solid, move-in ready home with incredible bones, major mechanical updates already completed and the chance to build serious equity with cosmetic improvements over time. The bathrooms have already been updated and expensive system upgrades including the furnace, hot water heater, and sewer line have all been replaced within the last five years — giving buyers confidence while leaving room to modernize and personalize the aesthetic to their own style.
With rare features that are increasingly difficult to find, this home offers four bedrooms on the main level, a private primary 3/4 bath, two wood-burning fireplaces, and an expansive basement ready for another bedroom and bathroom combination for instant equity and additional finished square footage. Natural light pours into the sunny eat-in kitchen, while the approximately 350-square-foot paver-tiled sunroom creates an incredible year-round living space perfect for morning coffee, entertaining, a home office, workout room, or indoor/outdoor retreat. From there, step into a backyard that feels like your own private garden sanctuary.
This is not a sterile flip — this is a home with warmth, character and endless upside. The kind of property where a little sweat equity could transform it into one of the standout homes in Meadowlark. Whether you’re an investor looking for your next value-add opportunity, a buyer wanting to customize a home over time, or someone searching for an unbeatable neighborhood at an exceptional price, this property delivers potential in every direction. Homes with this combination of location, layout, lot, mechanical updates, and upside rarely hit the market at this value. Invest in your future. Live the dream!
