If you're searching for an affordable home for sale in Grand Junction, Colorado, this property offers a combination that can be difficult to find: an owned lot with no lot rent, low HOA dues ($136/yr), a backyard shop, RV parking potential, irrigation water, and numerous major updates already completed. Conveniently located with easy access from D 1/2 Rd, this Western Colorado home is largely move-in ready and offers an opportunity for a new owner to add a few final finishing touches and make it their own.
The home has been updated extensively over the years, including improvements completed from approximately 202-2023 as well as more recent upgrades. Major improvements include a new roof, new windows, upgraded electrical, replacement of the gas and water lines from the meter to the home, and a new swamp cooler. Two window A/C units provide additional cooling, and new ceiling fans have been installed in the bedrooms and living room. LVP flooring with underlayment provides an updated, easy-care surface throughout much of the home.
The kitchen is one of the highlights of the interior, offering a spacious, light and bright place to cook and gather. There is plenty of room for a kitchen table or breakfast nook along with abundant cabinet and counter space. The kitchen includes a dishwasher, electric range and oven, microwave, and refrigerator, giving buyers a functional space that is ready to use from day one.
The primary bathroom has been updated with a new subfloor, updated sinks and vanity, toiler, and tub/shower insert. The guest bathroom features a step-in shower. The primary bedroom has double closets for additional storage. A brand new washer and dryer are also included with the home, helping make this an even more practical move-in ready option for buyers searching for affordable Grand Junction real estate.
Outside, the property offers features that add flexibility beyond the living space. A shop in the backyard has electrical power and its own A/C unit, making it useful for hobbies, projects, storage, a workshop, or other needs. A large side gate provides convenient access and creates possibilities for RV parking, additional vehicle access, trailer storage, or a dog run. The yard has sprinklers, an additional exterior water spigot has been added, and irrigation water is supplied through the HOA on a pump. HOA dues are low and include the irrigation water. Clearnetworx service has been installed.
One of the biggest advantages of this property is that the lot is owned rather than rented, so there is no monthly lot rent. For buyers comparing affordable homes in Grand Junction, that distinction can be important. Between the infrastructure improvements, updated interior features, outdoor space, shop, RV access, irrigation water, and owned land, all of the big work has already been addressed.
