Location: 6800 W 32nd Avenue, Wheat Ridge, Colorado

Price: $895,000

Footprint: 1,896 square feet (four bedrooms, two baths)

Lot Size: 0.24

From the Agent: "Affectionately nicknamed the Nordic Retreat, this home has earned every bit of its well-deserved moniker. It’s rare to find a fully remodeled cottage-style home like this one, so close to the Highlands, Edgewater and Sloan’s Lake, that has the innate ability to transport you to the Finnish countryside in a matter of minutes. It’s situated on just under a quarter acre lot surrounded by towering pine trees, and sunlight plays through the windows in each room, adding warmth to the cool blue and gray tones of the wood flooring and the walls, emphasizing the design concept that, 'less is actually more.' Thoughtfully renovated from top to bottom, no expense was spared, all while maintaining a distinct focus on preserving the integrity of some original features, like the hardwood flooring, and oversized windows."

Located in the quaint suburb of Wheat Ridge and surrounded by soaring trees, the one-story property is less than a 20-minute drive to downtown Denver.
