Not your average bungalow, this bohemian-style cottage offers soulful living in the heart of Platt Park—one of Denver’s most walkable and beloved neighborhoods. Just two blocks from the Louisiana-Pearl Light Rail station, four blocks from Washington Park, and an easy stroll to Old South Pearl’s shops, restaurants, the Sunday farmers market, Whole Foods, Sprouts, and other local favorites—this location offers a lifestyle as vibrant as the home itself. Before you even step inside, the garden sets the tone—lush, layered, and whimsical. Set on a generous 6,240 sq ft lot, it features a charming gazebo and a fabulous deck that feel like a true extension of the home. The outdoor space is designed for gathering, growing, and everyday enjoyment. Inside, the sizable primary suite addition is a rare find—room for a king bed, a wall of closets, private laundry hookup, and a large ensuite bath. A second main-level bedroom suite offers a full bathroom for flexibility and privacy. The home also features a light-filled living room with a gas fireplace and a spacious dining area that makes entertaining easy and inviting. The kitchen offers an open, adaptive layout with floating shelves, exposed brick, gas Wolf cooktop, integrated storage, and transformable island elements that flex with your lifestyle. Downstairs, the finished basement includes the third bedroom suite, a kitchenette, a versatile flex space perfect for an office or gym, ample storage, and a dedicated laundry room. Whether you need guest space, multigenerational living, or a creative retreat this basement delivers. An added bonus, Class 4 Impact Resistant Roof (2019) and owned solar panels. With full main-level living and laundry, a beautiful side ramp on the south side of the home, and an accessible primary bathroom, this home quietly offers accessible living without sacrificing style. If you're looking for something a little unexpected, a little cool—and absolutely loved—this home delivers it all, inside and out.
