**Watch the full property video here: https://youtube.com/shorts/R_S9GE-DfdM?feature=share** Artists rejoice in this piece of Denver's history—a charming circa-1896 former grocery store, which served the community for over 60 years. Thoughtfully converted into a unique residential space in the 90s, this one-of-a-kind property blends historic character with modern comfort—and even includes a fully equipped ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) for added versatility and income potential. Since 2020, the separate studio above the garage has been a successful Airbnb, generating excellent supplemental income. Whether you continue its rental legacy or use it as a private guest retreat, it functions seamlessly as an extension of the main home, offering privacy and comfort for all. Located mere blocks to local favorites like Postino and Novel Strand Brewing, this home places you right in the heart of one of Denver’s most vibrant and historic neighborhoods. Inside the main residence, soaring 10-foot ceilings and massive West and South-facing windows flood the space with natural light. The expansive open floor plan is anchored by a chef’s kitchen featuring granite countertops and an earthy green tile backsplash, adding both style and function. Two generously sized bedrooms and a stunning four-piece bath—complete with ample storage—create a restful retreat at day’s end. Step out back into your own lush oasis, where established grapevines, a Wisteria tree (a symbol of luck and resilience), a small greenhouse, and a thriving vegetable garden make this a dream for both homesteaders and pollinators alike. The location is unbeatable—just a short stroll to the best of South Broadway, including Voodoo Doughnut, Bardo Coffee House, Moxie Eatery, Sweet Action Ice Cream, and the historic Mayan Theatre, among countless others. This property offers not only a home, but a lifestyle—rich in character, rooted in community, and brimming with possibility.
