8722 Independence Way, Arvada, CO 80005

8722 Independence Way is an end-of-row patio home in The Pond, a planned community in northwest Arvada near West 88th Avenue and Wadsworth Boulevard. The home sits beside open greenspace, includes a fully paid-off 8.46 kW solar array, and is vacant and easy to show. Interior and exterior photos are on the Zillow listing.

A 4-Bedroom Layout With a Main-Floor Guest Suite

The home has 4 bedrooms and 3 baths in 1,786 finished square feet. Three bedrooms are upstairs, including a primary suite with a fully remodeled ensuite 3/4 bath. The 4th bedroom is on the main floor, with two closets and direct access to a remodeled 3/4 bath of its own.

That main-floor room is the flexible piece of the layout. With two closets and a bath a step away, it works as a bedroom, a dedicated office, or a guest suite for anyone who prefers to skip the stairs. The rest of the main level holds formal living and dining rooms, the family room, the kitchen, and a laundry area with the washer and dryer included.

Upstairs, the two secondary bedrooms share an updated hall bath. All three baths in the house are 3/4 baths, each with a shower.

Paid-Off 8.46 kW Solar (Installed 2011, Seller-Owned)

The rooftop photovoltaic array is 8.46 kW, installed in 2011, seller-owned, and fully paid off. It conveys with the house at no additional cost. There is no solar lease or loan for a buyer to assume, and no third-party contract attached to the roof. The system simply keeps electric bills low.

Ownership is the detail worth underlining. Leased or financed panels complicate a sale because the buyer has to qualify for and take over the agreement. Here the panels transfer with the deed like any other fixture, and the production belongs to the new owner from day one.

The home also has forced-air heat and central air conditioning, so the array offsets cooling costs in summer when production peaks.

End of the Row, Next to Open Greenspace

This is an end-of-row unit, so one side of the home faces open greenspace instead of another residence. That position adds natural light and a degree of privacy that interior units in a patio-home row do not get, and it puts grass and mature trees directly beside the property.

The lot itself is level, 0.07 acres, in a master-planned setting. Patio-home living here means the yard stays small and manageable while the greenspace next door does the visual work. The Pond's trails and the seasonal neighborhood pond are close, and Standley Lake is a short trip west. More on the area is on the neighborhood page.

Inside: Kitchen, Family Room, Primary Suite

The main level holds an updated kitchen with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances, formal living and dining rooms, and a family room with vaulted ceilings, oversized windows, and a wood-burning fireplace. Upstairs, the primary suite has its own fully remodeled 3/4 bath.

Finishes are recent throughout. The interior is freshly painted, the main level has newer flooring (LVP installed 2020), and the upstairs carpet is new. The kitchen appliances stay: dishwasher, microwave, oven, and refrigerator, along with the washer and dryer in the main-floor laundry.

The home is vacant and move-in ready. Staging furniture and decor are excluded from the sale.

Outside: Trex Deck and a Private, Shaded Yard

The backyard is private and shaded, centered on a large Trex composite deck strung with twinkle lights that stay with the house. Mature shade keeps the space comfortable on warm Colorado evenings, and the composite decking needs no staining or sealing.

Because this is a patio home on a compact, level lot, outdoor upkeep stays light. The deck is the main living space outside, with the private yard around it and open greenspace beyond the property line on the end-unit side. A concrete driveway leads to the detached 2-car garage.

1,115 Sq Ft Unfinished Basement

Below the main level is a full, unfinished basement measuring 1,115 square feet. It is open space that handles storage now and leaves room to finish later. Combined with the 1,786 finished square feet above grade, the home totals 2,901 square feet.

An unfinished basement of this size is uncommon in patio homes, and it changes the math on the purchase: the list price buys nearly 2,900 total square feet with the option to add finished space over time. Buyers planning to finish it should verify permit requirements with Jefferson County.

The Pond Neighborhood and HOA

The Pond is a planned patio-home neighborhood in northwest Arvada with a $220 monthly HOA that maintains a pool, tennis courts, a clubhouse, a playground, walking trails, and the seasonal pond the community is named for. Standley Lake and its regional park are nearby to the west.

Schools are Jefferson County R-1: Weber Elementary and Pomona High School. Full details on amenities, the lakes, schools, and getting around are on the neighborhood page.
