Description

The original charm and pride of ownership of this 3-bed/2-bath home in the heart of Denver are truly exceptional. Loved and cared for by the same owners for over 60 years, this property is full of darling retro features as well as functional updates. It is evident from the new water heater in 2024, new roof in 2015, new furnace in 2011, and additional kitchen space added in 1991, that these long-time owners maintained and tended to this beautiful home consistently throughout their stewardship. The original deed paperwork from 1862 can even be passed on to the next homeowner! This light-and-bright home is primed for new owners who may appreciate a property with not just good bones, but cherished features like the dining room built-ins, vintage lighting, cuter-than-a-button kitchen wallpaper, a free-standing vintage tub, and a lovely balcony off of the upper level. All three bedrooms are on the upper level with the kitchen, dining room, and living room (plus, even a sophisticated foyer!) on the main, while the basement includes great storage capacity, allowing for convenience and excellent utilization of space throughout the home. A sizable backyard with stunning landscaping puts the cherry on top of this singular property that is as unique as it is beloved. Bring your imagination if you see yourself living in a more contemporary space, but don't miss out on getting eyes on this property in your search for your home-sweet-home; this one certainly fits the bill.
This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Trulia. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources. This description is from August 22, 2025
