Description

Curved, tree-lined streets radiate from one of Denver’s best-kept park secrets — Bonnie Brae Park — a charming oval green designed in 1920 to evoke a Scottish village. Directly across from the park, this west-facing 1941 Tudor captures sweeping green views through a custom 60” Marvin window, filling the home with warm afternoon light. With only three owners in its history, this residence blends timeless architecture with an exceptional location. Hardwood floors lead into a sunlit living room anchored...Curved, tree-lined streets radiate from one of Denver’s best-kept park secrets — Bonnie Brae Park — a charming oval green designed in 1920 to evoke a Scottish village. Directly across from the park, this west-facing 1941 Tudor captures sweeping green views through a custom 60” Marvin window, filling the home with warm afternoon light. With only three owners in its history, this residence blends timeless architecture with an exceptional location. Hardwood floors lead into a sunlit living room anchored by a striking stone Art Deco fireplace. Arched doorways and crown molding add architectural character, while expansive windows frame the park like a living backdrop. The dining room offers an inviting space for gatherings, and the well-appointed galley kitchen features a Dacor gas range, stainless appliances, custom cabinetry, and a built-in desk area for everyday functionality. A vaulted family room opens seamlessly to a private patio surrounded by mature trees, creating an ideal indoor-outdoor connection. A main-floor bedroom or study with a finished bath adds flexibility for guests or work-from-home needs. Upstairs, the primary suite provides a quiet retreat, accompanied by two additional bedrooms and a full bath. The finished lower level includes a cozy fireside lounge, generous laundry space, abundant storage, and a versatile non-conforming room. Enjoy a lifestyle that is both connected and walkable — just five minutes to Gaylord Street, Bonnie Brae Ice Cream, and the neighborhood library; ten minutes to Wash Park; fifteen minutes to Cherry Creek Shopping Center; and a short drive to the Denver Botanic Gardens. A private walking trail and beloved neighborhood traditions — wine club evenings, alley art walks, and summer parties in the park — make this location truly special.
