    What's special

    Newer fenceBeautiful mature treesLovely garden areaPrivate drivewayHuge garage with electricityNew roof and guttersProfessional landscaping
    **Cherry Creek North for less than $1.5m and $2m cheaper than any other SF home in the entire neighborhood! Add to that, the potential rental income of having two units within the same home (which is how the current owner operates the property)** Surrounded by multi-million dollar homes in the heart of Cherry Creek North! The lot itself is zoned for two 3-story tall town homes with an additional ADU (accessory dwelling unit) in the back - a 3-bay garage with another residential unit on top of the garage. The upside to this property is significant! As it sits now, it's making money due to the rental at the basement level and tremendous amount of parking. Open up the entire home all for you or continue to rent one or both units! Buy now, build equity, develop later! Incredible area - 1 block to amazing restaurants, Cherry Creek Mall 2 blocks away, walk everywhere! HUGE garage with electricity as well as your own private driveway, new roof & gutters, new water heater, remodeled kitchen upstairs and downstairs. Both bathrooms have been remodeled, upstairs is the original and massive claw-foot cast iron tub. Back yard is GORGEOUS, private and quiet. Stamped concrete patio, pergola and lots of exterior lighting, some no-maintenance/xeriscaping features have been incorporated to save on water! Professional landscaping, lovely garden area and flagstone patio on the south side of the home, beautiful mature trees and newer fence. English ivy and huge lilac tree. Lovely fully enclosed sun porch at the front of the home, finished and currently being used as an office space and additional living space. LED and solar lighting features. This home has been well maintained, loved and cared for. One of the original homes in Cherry Creek North! Buyer and buyer agent to verify ALL. There's lots of possibilities and tremendous upside with this one. Check zoning with the city and county of Denver. This is a lovely home in the BEST neighborhood in Denver and is move in ready!
