Description

Come see this mid-century gem for yourself! With coved ceilings and archways, this home has incredible charm that you will notice the minute you step through the front door. Nestled on 1/3 of an acre, this home blends the best of both interior and exterior spaces, tucked into a sweet spot between the city energy and mountain calm. Every room in the house is drenched in light, and the sun room is no exception- a place to entertain off of the kitchen or a quiet spot to cozy up to the fire.

...Come see this mid-century gem for yourself! With coved ceilings and archways, this home has incredible charm that you will notice the minute you step through the front door. Nestled on 1/3 of an acre, this home blends the best of both interior and exterior spaces, tucked into a sweet spot between the city energy and mountain calm. Every room in the house is drenched in light, and the sun room is no exception- a place to entertain off of the kitchen or a quiet spot to cozy up to the fire.

Step out back and the vibe shifts into full retreat mode. A shaded patio sets the stage for long evenings, whether you’re grilling, lounging, or gathering around a crackling fire pit under the stars. Mature shade trees create a natural canopy, offering privacy and a rare, established feel. Garden boxes line one edge of the yard, ready for herbs, vegetables, or whatever you feel like growing.

Off to the side, a charming shed adds function and personality, in tandem with the one car garage that is currently being used as an art studio.

It’s the kind of place where you can head into Denver for dinner - you are close to all the shops, bars and restaurants on 32nd and Lowell or 44th and Tennyson, or Sloan's Lake, and 15 minutes from downtown Denver. Or escape toward the mountains for a morning hike without missing a beat—then come home to something that feels grounded, calm, and all yours!

Exterior updates include: firepit, garden boxes, shed and freshly painted exterior trim
Interior updates include: freshly painted trim and paint in sunroom, and bathroom. New (2025) energy efficient heat pump and HVAC system, refrigerator (2022), garbage disposal (2025), quartz countertops and backsplash (2021), washing machine (2024), vinyl flooring and workshop in the basement, gas fireplace and AC wall unit in sun room, Radon system
