Description

Nestled in the 7th Avenue Historic District amidst Denver’s most significant turn of the century architecture, this 1915 traditional home feels just right. The current owners completed much-needed renovations 2009-2011, restoring it back to its vintage roots and turning it into a comfortable family home and a place to welcome friends. The interior is still rich with original features. The renovation highlights include: 7 layers of wallpaper removal, replastering of walls, refurbishing of woodwork,...Nestled in the 7th Avenue Historic District amidst Denver’s most significant turn of the century architecture, this 1915 traditional home feels just right. The current owners completed much-needed renovations 2009-2011, restoring it back to its vintage roots and turning it into a comfortable family home and a place to welcome friends. The interior is still rich with original features. The renovation highlights include: 7 layers of wallpaper removal, replastering of walls, refurbishing of woodwork, gutting of kitchen and two bathrooms, addition of two new bathrooms, addition of primary suite walk-in closets, replacement of water line from street to house, new HVAC, water heater and roof. The floor plan is functional and defined, with a grand living room, original glass pocket doors into the dining room and a timeless kitchen with marble counters that opens to a cozy family room. French doors from the family room open to the patio for easy indoor/outdoor entertaining. Plenty of sleeping space for everyone (and their friends!) with three bedrooms and two baths on the second floor and two bedrooms and a bath on the third floor. The basement rec room doubles as a bedroom if needed. The side entrance faces south and a deck wraps around the sunny south and west sides of the home. The covered front patio is a favorite spot for relaxing and enjoying the beautiful Colorado weather. Xeriscaped yard is very low maintenance and requires no irrigation. Location is pretty perfect, less than a block to Cheesman Park and the back entrance to Denver Botanic Gardens, and just a stone’s throw to neighborhood favorite restaurant Satchels on 6th, Oliver’s Market and Novo Coffee. Easy access to Cherry Creek North and downtown. Come take a look!
