Across from Observatory Park, this charming New England Saltbox offers timeless character, generous space and an exceptional location in one of Denver's most sought-after neighborhoods. Custom built in 1963 by the original owners with architect Dick Gilbert, the home was inspired by the classic New England architecture they admired while studying in Boston. Fresh interior paint, true divided-light windows and oak floors create a warm, move-in-ready setting, with exciting opportunities to personalize over time. The main level offers a park-facing living room with a gas fireplace, an adjoining formal dining room, and a dedicated study with built-in bookcases and a closet so that it could also serve as a guest room. A three-quarter bath and laundry area add everyday convenience. The kitchen includes an electric cooktop, wall oven, side-by-side refrigerator and an informal dining area with abundant storage. Added in 1969, the spacious family room features distinctive pine tongue-and-groove paneling, large closets and direct access to the beautifully landscaped backyard-perfect for outdoor dining, play and summer gatherings. Upstairs, the park-facing primary suite includes a private bath, while three additional bedrooms and a hall bath provide flexible space for bedrooms, offices or hobbies. A side-load two-car garage is accessed from the alley. Thoughtful improvements include a 2017 gas boiler, upgraded insulation and a newer roof. With Observatory Park, its playground and the Chamberlin Observatory just outside the front door, plus neighborhood schools, the University of Denver, restaurants, shops and I-25 nearby, this special home offers space to grow, room to make it your own and a lifestyle centered around one of Denver's most beloved parks.
