Perfectly placed in the beloved Applewood neighborhood of Wheat Ridge, 12680 West 38th Drive is a beautifully updated home set on a sprawling, nearly one-third-acre lot, offering a rare sense of privacy and space so close to the city. With panoramic mountain views to the west and a canopy of mature trees, the setting strikes a peaceful balance between natural beauty and everyday convenience—just minutes from the Clear Creek Trail, Applewood Golf Course, King Soopers, Applejack, and a wide variety of neighborhood dining and local favorites. The home’s thoughtful layout is matched by modern updates and lasting comfort. New exterior siding and gutters enhance both curb appeal and durability, while an attached two-car garage with a separate storage room adds everyday functionality without sacrificing style. Inside, a welcoming great room invites you to gather around the wood-burning fireplace, where west-facing windows frame dramatic mountain vistas—a daily reminder of Colorado’s beauty and a perfect backdrop for everything from quiet mornings to cozy evenings by the fire. Just off the dining room, a brand-new elevated screened-in patio with built-in electric heaters extends your living space year-round, making al fresco meals and relaxed evenings feel both effortless and warm. Upstairs, two guest bedrooms enjoy sweeping mountain views, while custom closet organization systems add a touch of practical luxury, maximizing space with intention and care. And whether you’re heading downtown for a night out or up to the high country for a day of adventure, immediate access to I-70 puts it all within easy reach. This is a place where nature, comfort, and community come together, offering a joyful lifestyle rooted in space, privacy, and connection to the best of Colorado living.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
