Property Description
Perched atop a scenic lot on one of Virginia Village's most picturesque streets, this beautifully updated 50s ranch blends timeless character with thoughtful upgrades. Original light oak hardwood floors, custom built-ins, glass doorknobs, and classic shake siding pay homage to the home's mid-century roots. A welcoming front porch and low-maintenance xeriscaped yard create instant curb appeal and sets the tone for the warmth found throughout the home. Inside, the sun-filled main living area offers an open, inviting layout ideal for entertaining. A stylish kitchen balances function and personality with slate-gray appliances, a moody aesthetic, and butler's pantry. Two bedrooms and two full baths provide privacy and flexibility, including a serene primary suite with an en-suite bath. Updated bathrooms, closets, and thoughtful finishes throughout enhance livability. The sunroom offers the perfect bonus space for a home office, reading nook, or morning coffee retreat. The backyard is designed for relaxation and recreation with a 6'H wood fence, solar lights, concrete patio, and basketball court. The detached garage offers versatility, including a usable 3rd bedroom and 530 SF of potential living space. Complete with its own electrical panel, the space is perfectly suited for an ADU, guest house, or studio. Additional highlights include owned solar panels and updates completed within the last three years, including the furnace, roof, siding, gutters, evaporative cooler, washer/dryer, lighting, ceiling fans, garage door opener and most windows. Ideally located steps to Potenza Park and 1 block to Cherry Creek Trail, this home places you near beloved neighborhood favorites including Ester's, Thai Pot Café, new flagship King Soopers, Glendale's 4 Mile Entertainment District and the energy of Cherry Creek. This home offers a unique blend of classic mid-modern architecture, modern comfort and an exceptional Denver lifestyle in one of the city's most charming neighborhoods.
