Welcome to 438 S Emerson Street—a beautifully updated home tucked into one of Denver’s most beloved neighborhoods. Just a block from Wash Park, this home offers the warmth and character of the early 1900s with smart, modern upgrades throughout.
The heart of the home is a stunning 2018-renovated kitchen worthy of a magazine spread, sleek finishes, and great flow for everyday living or entertaining. Rich wood details and a cozy living room with a working fireplace bring that classic Denver charm, while the newly refinished wood floors (2018), stylish bathroom refresh (2023), and abundant natural light (new windows in 2019) add to the home's easy, updated vibe.
With five conforming bedrooms (one of which the sellers are using as a piano room/office), you’ll have plenty of room to spread out—whether you're working from home or hosting guests.
Outside, a private backyard offers a peaceful spot to unwind or entertain. And for those thinking electric, the garage is already wired for Level 3 EV charging.
You’re steps from Wash Perk for your morning ritual and just minutes to Devil’s Food Bakery, Perdida, and the S. Gaylord dining scene. Farmers markets at South Pearl and Cherry Creek are both under 10 minutes away—weekend plans made easy.
This is one of those homes that needs to be seen in person. The photos won’t capture the full experience—and it just feels good when you walk through the door. Drop by our open house on opening day or contact us for a private showing.
