    What's special

    This is the best kept secret in Park Hill! Where else can you get into the coveted Park Hill Elementary boundary without paying Park Hill prices? The school bus picks the kids up just blocks away! Tucked on a surprisingly quiet street just one block off the energy of Colfax, this well maintained home gives you the best of both worlds: peaceful evenings at home and easy access to some of Denver's favorite neighborhood destinations. Grab your morning coffee at Torpedo, meet friends at Ester's, explore the exciting restaurants, breweries, and redevelopment along East Colfax, or stroll the popular shops and eateries at both Kearney and Oneida Streets—all just blocks away. Inside, you'll find generously sized living spaces, fresh paint, updated flooring throughout, and a move-in-ready feel. A new dishwasher and radon mitigation system add peace of mind, while the flexible bonus/studio/office/yoga space with 3/4 bath, oversized storage shed, and abundant off-street parking make everyday living easy. One of the home's biggest surprises is the expansive 9,750-square-foot lot—a rare find in Park Hill. Whether you envision gardening, entertaining, creating your dream outdoor retreat (room for a pool!), or exploring the potential for a future ADU (U-SU-DX zoning! Buyer to verify zoning and building requirements), this property offers room to grow. This isn't the biggest house in Park Hill—but it may be one of the smartest buys. A rare opportunity to own in one of Denver's most sought-after neighborhoods, enjoy an oversized lot with future potential, and take advantage of an unbeatable location—without stretching to a Park Hill-sized price tag. Come see why this little pocket of Park Hill has so many loyal fans.
