    What's special

    Massive lotLaminate countertopsLarge dining areaTile flooringPartially updated kitchen
    This home is a rare find, situated on 0.28 acres in Denver—an exceptional lot size for the area. Built in 1955, this property offers 3 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, all conveniently located on the main level. The massive lot includes a very large driveway, you can park 15 cars in it! Originally a classic red brick home, the exterior has been tastefully updated to a modern gray finish, including the gutters and the attached two-car garage, giving the property a clean, contemporary look. Inside, the home features a spacious family room with a working fireplace, a large dining area, and a partially updated kitchen. The living room is opened to the dining room! The kitchen includes off-white cabinetry with modern black hardware, a stainless steel stove and refrigerator, laminate countertops, and tile flooring. The main-level bathroom is equipped with a tub and shower combination and tile flooring. The basement is largely unfinished but with full electric and plumbing already done, providing excellent potential for customization. You can access the basement through the main level or through a separate entrance from the backyard, due to this the basement has potential to be a rental! The basement includes a fully functional toilet and sink with working plumbing, offering the opportunity to complete an additional bathroom. There is one finished room of approximately 150 sq. ft., while a separate partially finished room of approximately 650 sq. ft. and the rest of the basement’s square footage 430 sq feet would be perfect for a large entertainment room or living room but it is unfinished. Hardwood flooring runs throughout the home, adding warmth and character. While the home does not have central air conditioning, window units have been effectively used for cooling. Additional highlights include: • Hot water heater (2 years old) in excellent condition • Roof under 10 years old, recently inspected and in excellent condition • Extra-large driveway with space to accommodate up to 20 vehicles • Front yard enclosed with a black wrought iron gate, ideal for added security and pet owners This property offers a unique combination of space, character, and opportunity in a highly desirable location. While the basement would need to be finished, you will save money because full plumbing and electric is already in there! The property is occupied so no solicitors! Only serious inquiries will be considered. Please do not waste our time. Text us with any questions or to schedule a showing.
