As real estate agents report a fast-returning market in ever-popular Arvada, agent Kris Ceretto with Team Front Range at Keller Williams will show you a recently remodeled 2-bedroom/2-bath home that has a complement of outdoor room thatap a rarity today: a .53-acre site that the current owner has fixed up for animal rescue.
Victoria Shaughnessy used her big lot in Arvada’s Secrest neighborhood east of Wadsworth near W. 62nd to run Olde Town Homestead animal rescue, with a nice looking barn where she had a goat, ducks, dogs, hens and a rooster—supported in part by sales of her own California wine brand. She says she’s put $200,000 into improving the property—including a nice-looking makeover of the home’s interior, and several outdoor living spaces in the very deep backyard, including a lawn, a small grove of apples, peaches and pears, drip irrigation system, and a gazebo with seating area and a ribbon-styled gas firepit. She’s now ready to move up to Ft. Lupton in search of a little more land for her operation.
At 7255 W. 61st Avenue, you’ll see a neighborhood that evolved from properties like this where residents could ‘homestead’ with some garden and animal production, to newer, nice-looking single-family development nearby on smaller sites. This home, built in 1950 but close to some others that look to have considerably older bones, is listed by the city as zoned R-6, allowing some conditions for a little denser development.
“Everybody wants to be in Arvada,” notes Ceretto, who has this priced at $699,000, and offers a video tour you can Google via his name and the address.
