Timeless character and thoughtful updates come together in this 3,027 sq ft Craftsman bungalow in Denver’s desirable Alamo Placita neighborhood.
A spacious and welcoming covered front porch leads into a warm, light-filled interior where hardwood floors, classic trim, and a statement fireplace create an inviting living space. The main level flows effortlessly from the living room into a dedicated dining area, enhanced by a coffered ceiling and natural light from surrounding windows.
The kitchen blends charm and function with custom cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and a skylight that brightens the space. An adjacent bar area and counter seating create a casual spot to gather, while maintaining an easy connection to the home’s main living areas.
The primary suite provides a comfortable retreat with generous proportions, while additional bedrooms offer flexibility for guests or workspace. Bathrooms feature a mix of classic details and modern updates, adding to the home’s character and livability.
The finished basement significantly expands the home’s functionality with multiple living zones, additional bedrooms, a bathroom, and ample storage—ideal for a media room, gym, or guest accommodations.
Outdoor living is equally inviting with drought-tolerant landscaping and irrigation for the front and back gardens. The back patio is enhanced by a pergola, and the entire backyard offers a private setting for relaxation or entertaining. A detached 2-car garage adds convenience and storage.
Situated on a level lot with mature landscaping and a Walk Score of 89, this home offers close proximity to parks, dining, and neighborhood amenities, with easy access to downtown Denver.
A well-balanced home offering character, space, and everyday comfort in a highly connected location– it’s just waiting for you!
