About 865 S Peterson Way

$50,000 PRICE REDUCTION! Mid-Century Athmar Park Ranch with Oversized 2-Car Garage & Bonus Flex Space! Bring your design ideas to this solid, 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom mid-century ranch in Denver’s beloved Athmar Park neighborhood. Offering a fantastic blend of nostalgic 1950s character and incredible upside equity, this property is a rare find for contractors, investors, or ambitious live-in buyers looking to customize their dream home and build immediate sweat equity.

Desirable Location: Situated in a mature, tree-lined Athmar Park neighborhood, within easy walking or biking distance to Huston Lake Park, Ruby Hill Park, and summer concerts at the Levitt Pavilion.

Sizable 7,560 Sq Ft Lot: Enjoy an expansive backyard complete with a covered patio, providing the ultimate canvas for outdoor entertaining, gardening, or a secure play area.

Oversized Detached 2-Car Garage: Rare for the area, this large garage offers plenty of room for vehicles, a workshop, or hobby gear.

Clever Flex Space & Storage: The original attached garage has been creatively modified. It now features a versatile non-conforming 4th bedroom (or bonus office/playroom) alongside a large, dedicated storage room where the original garage door still functions for easy loading.

Comfortable Hydronic Heating: Features the cozy, dust-free, and allergen-friendly warmth of a classic hot-water baseboard radiant heating system.

The Opportunity: While the home is dated and requires extensive updates, new flooring, and more, its rock-solid 1950s bones, generous lot size, and highly functional layout provide a premier canvas. Preserve the vintage mid-century aesthetic or completely modernize the space to match your style—the value potential here is unmistakable.

Don't miss the chance to invest in a classic, vibrant Denver neighborhood. Schedule your showing today!
