Affectionately nicknamed “Little Blue” by its current owners, this charming 1942 ranch offers a rare opportunity to own a well-kept vintage home on an expansive lot in a fabulous location—all with no HOA. Tucked away in a quiet pocket of University Park, this home blends thoughtful updates, like brand-new interior paint, with vintage details like original built-ins and hardwood floors that pay homage to its heritage. The updated kitchen is a delight, featuring quartz countertops, a stylish backsplash, a sleek under-mount sink, updated tile flooring and refinished cabinetry. An adjacent dining room with custom banquette seating and additional cabinet storage maximizes both style and function. The well-designed layout extends to a sprawling basement bedroom—ideal for guests or a private retreat—along with a dedicated basement bonus room, offering space for both creativity and productivity. A sliding patio door opens to a spacious west-facing covered patio, perfect for hosting friends or family for dinner parties. Beyond, the expansive backyard invites endless possibilities, whether it’s gardening, throwing the ball with your furry friend, or simply enjoying the tranquility of Colorado’s picturesque sunsets. Storage and parking are abundant, with an extra-large two-car detached garage accessible via the alley, an insulated hobby closet adjacent to the dining room, plus a convenient carport accessible via the front driveway for easy loading and unloading. Recent improvements, including a new roof and gutters (2022) and central air conditioning (2020), ensure peace of mind. Set in an unbeatable location, Little Blue is just moments from Natural Grocers, United Artists Theaters, and a diverse array of culinary options on nearby South Gaylord Street. Proximity to the I-25 corridor makes commuting to downtown or DTC effortless via vehicle or RTD Light Rail, while nearby Washington Park and the University of Denver add to the unique appeal of this special residence.
