About this House

Welcome to the 1980s charmer that is 953 E Nichols Ave. This updated split-level in the coveted Highlands neighborhood has wonderful curb appeal – with a professionally landscaped yard and a whitewashed brick facade. Inside the front door, you’ll find fresh paint, high ceilings, and a large living space with big picture windows that fill the space with natural light. The kitchen features hardwood floors, granite countertops, an abundance of cabinet space, stainless appliances, and an eat-in breakfast nook. The upgraded kitchen is also connected to the designated formal dining room on this level, perfect for holiday seasons and entertaining guests. After dinner, step down into the family room, complete with a cozy wood-burning fireplace, a spot for your home office, and a slider that leads out to the back custom flagstone patio. The backyard was made for the summer & feels very private since the property is lined by matured Colorado native trees. The fully landscaped & low-maintenance space has enough room for your garden and firepit, with a big lawn for Fido too. Back inside, the oversized primary bedroom includes a large ensuite with a walk-in closet, his & her vanities, and a custom-tiled shower with a waterfall shower head. Down the hall, the guest rooms share a bathroom with dual sinks and a separate tub + toilet room for function and versatility. Still need more space? Check out the completely finished basement! This level boasts a huge rec room with a custom-made fireplace wall, plus a luxury steam shower in the 3/4 bathroom. Brand new tankless water heater, attic fan, and exterior fence! This prime location puts you just steps away from the Lee Gulch Trail, Puma Park, and the metro area's top-ranked schools. You’ll also be close to countless shopping & dining options along S. Broadway, with Southglenn, the South Suburban Sports complex, golfing and more just a short drive away. Schedule your showing today!
