Property Overview
Picture this: a 2-bed, 2-bath, 948 sq ft ground-floor condo, with patio, overlooking green space! The HOA covers exterior, snow, water, and trash – so your focus is pure interior cosmetics. Buy it today for $165k, drop a $38k facelift (kitchen, baths, floors, paint), and list at $265k in a sub-$300k price band where Denver homes average single-digit days on market. That’s a clear $47-plus-thousand spread (after repairs and holding/closing costs) in a product first-time buyers are lined up for.
Are you prepared to let someone else take this spread, or are you ready to say “yes” and lock it up today?
Property Walk Through:
• Entry & Living: Ground-floor entry into living room with brick fireplace; slider opens to patio facing green space
• Dining & Kitchen: Dining nook off living room flows into front-left kitchen ready for full gut (shaker cabinets, quartz, stainless package)
• Hall Bath: First door off hallway, full bath to update vanity, tile, fixtures
• Bedroom 1: Opposite hall bath; standard closet, new paint and carpet planned
• Primary Suite: End of hall; larger bedroom with its own full bath and wall-length closet
• Storage & Mechanical: Hall closet for HVAC and water heater plus pantry closet near kitchen
• Exterior & Parking: One assigned surface space, guest parking steps from front walkway
Why this Works
- Big value gap
You are all-in for about $203k (165k buy plus 38k rehab). Similar finished units in Woodside and across Alameda have been closing $240k to $305k. That is a daylight margin every flipper in town hunts for. - Price point first-time buyers crave
Denver’s median sale price just ticked up to $575k. Anything livable under $300k is gone in days. - Lowry redevelopment momentum
A new 200,000 sq ft mixed-use district called The Boulevard at Lowry just broke ground two blocks away. More restaurants, retail and office traffic means rising condo values. - Cherry Creek job engine next door
Cherry Creek’s office vacancy is only 6.6 %, one of the tightest in the country. Workers want close-in housing they can afford, and Woodside sits on the Cherry Creek Trail bike commute. - Builders are betting here
Toll Brothers is launching a new luxury community along the Cherry Creek corridor for 2025. Big capital does not move unless it sees upside. - Rental fallback
Two-bed condos here lease around $1,850. Even if you kept it, cash flow is solid with minimal maintenance. - Bottom line: You control an entry-level Denver asset at 63¢ on the retail dollar in a submarket that is adding amenities, jobs and buyer demand every quarter. That is why investors who understand velocity will move on this deal today.
Neighborhood Description: Tucked between Windsor and Lowry, the complex offers mature trees, easy access to Lowry Town Center dining, Cherry Creek trail, I-225 and DIA. Quiet streets, big green spaces, city convenience.
Video Walkthrough
The rehab is a clean cosmetic lift: swap the tired entry door, gut and rebuild the kitchen with shaker cabinets, quartz, and stainless, refresh both baths with new vanities, fixtures, and tile, lay LVP throughout with fresh carpet in bedrooms, spray-and-roll paint on every surface, punch out minor plumbing and electrical, and finish with an HVAC tune-up and new thermostat. All seven line items tally to $34,800, we add a 10 percent cushion for surprise hiccups, landing at a total budget of $38,280 that brings the unit to retail-ready condition without touching exterior or structure.
