Built in 1908, this quintessential Denver Square is situated in the heart of the Whittier neighborhood, just a few blocks from the renovated City Park Golf Course. Its stately curb appeal and welcoming front porch foretell the classic finishes you’ll find inside: original hardwood floors and trim, a built-in tiger oak buffet, a fully functioning wood stove, and smooth sliding pocket doors. The entry, with its built-in storage bench and hooks for your coats, opens into the main living area that features oversized antique-glass windows and a stunning fireplace with stylish tile and an oak surround. While many historical elements have been preserved, modern amenities provide additional comforts. (Yes – that means central air!) The updated kitchen opens to the dining room and puts on display gorgeous cherry cabinets, timeless soapstone countertops and a large island that provides prep space, storage and casual seating. With four bedrooms upstairs, you might choose to use one room as an office, or even combine two bedrooms to create a primary suite. The finished basement adds another bedroom/den, ¾ bath, laundry room, and ample storage space. A separate entrance makes the basement ideal for a short-term rental. Simply add a mini-fridge and coffee maker to the kitchenette and voila! AirBnB! The backyard features a deck spacious enough for grilling, dining and lounging. And although the yard doesn’t have much color now, the soil has been tilled and amended, the sprinkler system tuned up, and grass seed sown – so that by the time you move in, you’ll be able to enjoy your own lush private oasis!
