Golden House | Walk to Clear Creek, Mines, and downtown Golden — fully renovated 1930s bungalow

4 Bedroom House in Golden

The Golden Bungalow
Set on a quiet residential block a 13-minute walk from Clear Creek and 18 minutes from Colorado School of Mines, The Golden Bungalow is a fully renovated 2-bedroom retreat built for people who want downtown Golden on foot. Grab coffee on the walk back from campus, kayak or tube Clear Creek on a summer afternoon, or catch the sunset over the foothills from the private deck — where you can see the "M" on Mines from your morning coffee.
This is the upper level of a well-insulated 1930s brick duplex, with your own private entrance (the blue front door), your own fenced backyard, and your own covered deck. You won't see or share space with the downstairs neighbors.
Who it's for
Parents visiting Mines students — game weekends, family weekends, graduation
Couples and small families wanting a walkable Golden base for Clear Creek, hiking, Coors Brewery, and the foothills
Business travelers and remote workers on short Denver-area assignments — a real kitchen and dedicated workspace beat a hotel
Anyone attending a wedding, reunion, or event at one of the many nearby venues
Inside
The upstairs is a single-level ranch floor plan — no stairs once you're up. A fully renovated mountain-modern kitchen opens to a great room with a dining table for 8, a cozy gas fireplace, and a sofa bed. A second sofa bed in the front parlor brings the sleeping capacity to 8 across:
Bedroom 1 — Queen bed
Bedroom 2 — Queen bed
Front parlor — Queen sofa bed
Great room — Queen sofa bed
One full bathroom serves the space. Kitchen is stocked with cookware, spices, and basics (you bring the groceries).
Outside
Private raised deck overlooking the foothills to the west — morning coffee, evening conversations, or a casual meal under the large shade trees. Fenced backyard with BBQ grill. Parking for 3 cars in front of and along the side of the house.
