Whether you're looking for a charming single-family home, income-producing property, or a potential live/work space, this one checks all the boxes. Situated within walking distance to local restaurants and just a quick drive to some of Denver’s hottest spots in Sloan’s Lake, Edgewater, Jefferson Park, and LoHi, the location offers the perfect blend of neighborhood charm and city convenience.

A buyer interested in maximizing cash flow can tap into the nearly endless supply of business travelers for downtown and the convention center, sports and concert enthusiasts for Empower Field and Ball Arena and weekend warriors on the way to the mountains.
