Property Description
Fully updated yet rich with 1920s Craftsman character, this turnkey bungalow anchors the heart of DU and Platt Park. A water-wise xeriscape with river-rock terraces, blooming lavender, and golden alyssum frames a beam-trimmed front porch—perfect for morning coffee and greeting friends. Inside, refinished original floors sweep through an open living-dining room sized for entertaining, plus plenty of room for dining. A sun-splashed office keeps WFH simple, while the bright white kitchen pairs stainless appliances with an herb-garden window. Two brand-new baths elevate the routine: subway-tiled retreat up, slate-look spa shower down. The basement media room adds LVP, recessed LEDs, and flexes for yoga flows or overnight guests. Out back, raised steel planter boxes and a blank-canvas lawn border a true covered patio wired for string lights and game-day TV. A walkway leads to an alley-access oversized two-car garage with storage for all your adventure gear. The garage's soaring truss ceiling can easily house skis, bikes, and camping bins with an additional storage shed in the backyard. Recent upgrades mean peace of mind: solar panel array, new sewer line, fresh stucco, full interior and exterior paint, all-new LED fixtures, switches, newer roof, high-efficiency furnace, central air, and smart thermostat. Classic Craftsman trim, neutral tone walls, new fixtures, and hardware weave vintage soul with modern style. Five blocks west, South Pearl Street icons—Sushi Den, Park Burger, Sweet Cow, Kaos Pizzeria, Platt Park Brewing—and the Sunday farmers market beckon. Walk to Safeway, Denver Beer Co's taproom, University of Denver, or the light rail station. Zip onto I-25 for a fifteen-minute commute downtown or to the Tech Center. Porter Hospital and Washington Park lie within a mile. Modern systems, indoor-outdoor living, and a walk-everywhere address. Contact the listing agent to schedule a private tour today! Virtual grass added to backyard for marketing. Showings start 5/15.
