    What's special

    Glass-front uppersFinished basementCraftsman millworkDetached two-car garageProfessional gas rangeFlanking built-in shelvesWhite shiplap wainscoting
    Built in 1910 and sitting on one of Denver's most walkable streets, this Platt Park Craftsman has been cared for with a clear eye for what makes older homes worth keeping. The original hardwood floors, wainscoting, and craftsman millwork are all intact — not as a selling point, but because they were simply never replaced. The living room centers on a fireplace with green subway tile surround and flanking built-in shelves, with windows on three sides that keep the space bright without feeling exposed. The kitchen is practical and well-outfitted: white cabinetry, glass-front uppers, a professional gas range, and enough counter space to actually cook. The main level has two bedrooms and a full bath. Downstairs, the finished basement adds a third bedroom — with a barn door entry and its own full bath — along with unfinished storage that gives you real room for bikes, skis, and everything else that comes with living in Colorado. The finishes down there are clean and simple: plank flooring, recessed lighting, white shiplap wainscoting. Out back, the deck has been refinished and stained, the sod is new front and back with an irrigation system in the ground, and there's a hot tub that gets real use in this climate. The detached two-car garage sits off the alley. No HOA. Street parking out front. South Pearl Street's shops, restaurants, and Saturday farmers market are a short walk away. Currently has tenants in lease through September 2026 but available for walkthroughs and showings before that based on appointments. If you are a listing agent or someone who brokers deals, please do not contact me, put me on your mailing listing or call me. THIS IS A FOR SALE BY OWNER LISTING ONLY. Thank you for your attention to this.
    What the owner loves about this home
    The fireplace wall alone is worth pausing on — green subway tile surround, dark cast iron insert, white built-ins flanking both sides, windows tucked in between — it's the kind of detail that feels considered rather than renovated. The cased openings and craftsman half-walls between the living and dining rooms create separation without closing things off, something new construction rarely gets right. The basement surprises you: barn door entry, shiplap wainscoting, recessed lighting — actually finished, not just technically finished. And the backyard, with its refinished deck, hot tub, and mature trees overhead, is the kind of space that quietly becomes the reason you bought the house. Then there's the street itself — South Pearl, farmers market, independent restaurants, Platt Park — the kind of neighborhood people move to Denver for and never leave. Homes with this much original character, in this condition, at this address, don't sit long.
