Property Description


0.14 Acres Lot
Built in 1939
For Sale - Active
1 Units

Located in the heart of the highly desirable Cherry Creek neighborhood, this beautifully updated 1939 home blends timeless charm with thoughtful modern upgrades. Set on an oversized 0.14-acre lot, the property offers exceptional walkability to local shops, restaurants, parks, and top-rated elementary and middle schools. The neighborhood is known for its low crime rate, friendly community feel, and unbeatable convenience—just 15 minutes to downtown Denver, 30 minutes to the airport, and close to several world-class hospitals. Inside, the home features three bedrooms (one non-conforming) and two bathrooms, all enhanced with a warm, relaxed ambiance. The recently remodeled kitchen boasts sleek quartz countertops, a new range and dishwasher, and an undermount single bowl sink. Refinished hardwood floors (May 2025) run throughout much of the home, complementing the modernized bathrooms and open living spaces. Major system upgrades include a new furnace and central air system installed in 2024 and controlled by a Nest thermostat, updated internal plumbing (2017), new electrical panel and most house wiring (2018), and a replaced outgoing sewage line to the alley (2022). The front and back yards are equipped with sprinkler systems installed in 2022 and controlled by the B-hyve app, making outdoor maintenance a breeze. The spacious backyard offers a perfect setting for entertaining, gardening, pets, or simply relaxing. The property is zoned G-RH-3, opening the door to exciting development possibilities such as an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) or other projects. Whether you're looking for a forever home or a smart investment in one of Denver’s most sought-after neighborhoods, this Cherry Creek gem offers the perfect balance of comfort, style, and opportunity. Don’t miss your chance to own a piece of this vibrant community—schedule your showing today!
