Charming Ranch with Remodeled Basement in Green Mountain Park! Welcome to 485 S Pierson St in the heart of Lakewood’s desirable Green Mountain Park neighborhood. This solid 3-bed, 2-bath ranch offers 2,042 sq ft of comfortable living space on a spacious 0.256-acre lot with alley access—perfect for future RV parking or a detached garage. Inside, you’ll find a fully remodeled basement featuring a large third bedroom, a brand-new bathroom, and a flexible living area. The main level offers two bedrooms, a full bath, and a vintage kitchen and bathroom with plenty of character. New carpet has just been installed, but beneath it you’ll find original hardwood floors—just waiting to be uncovered and restored. Enjoy the shaded backyard with a covered patio, large garden area, and two storage sheds. A new water heater, one-car garage, and included washer/dryer round out the home's features. You’ll love this tight-knit community with access to multiple nearby parks—including James E. Harrison and Glennon Heights with its community pool—as well as Addenbrooke Park with trails, courts, and open green space. Just blocks away, you’ll find abundant shopping and dining along Alameda Parkway and Union Street: Natural Grocers, King Soopers, Tom’s Seafood & Gourmet Market, fitness studios, and great local restaurants like Jose O’Shea’s, 240 Union, and more. Belmar is just 8 minutes away, offering an open-air shopping experience with brand-name stores, diverse eateries, a cinema, and art studios. Plus, you’re only minutes to the Federal Center Light Rail, St. Anthony’s Hospital, and Highway 6 for a quick trip downtown or a getaway to the mountains. This is Colorado living with space, charm, and convenience. Come make it your own!
