SFR with possible separate basement unit...?

Ran across a listing recently which was a 3br/2ba.  2/1 on main level and 1/1 in the basement.  Kicker is that the basement has a fully equipped kitchen as well.  I am a wannabe househacker so this is pretty intriguing to me.  

There is no true separate entrance, but the entry to the basement is the same breezeway as the back door to the main level.  Seems like adding a legitimate (fire?) door would do the trick nicely to make it feel like a separate unit. 

Has anyone gone through something similar? Wondering how to legitimatize it into a true second unit?  Zoning concerns, legal/permit costs? 

Located in a urban residential neighborhood of Denver.
