Move-in ready, extensively updated, and anchored by one of the best backyard setups in the area, this classic brick bungalow offers a rare blend of Denver character, modern livability, and private outdoor space. Inside, the home has been thoughtfully refreshed with an updated kitchen, remodeled bath, hardwood floors, new windows, a new furnace, extensive brick/tuckpointing and chimney work, and numerous upgrades throughout. The layout offers flexible living across two levels. The finished lower level can be enjoyed as part of the main home for guests, media, office, fitness, or everyday overflow, while also offering the option to separate the space for supplemental monthly income. The seller has previously used the lower level this way, and income history is available upon request. Outside is where this property truly stands apart. The backyard feels like a private urban retreat, with an 8-foot privacy fence, pergola, turf, hardscaping, lighting, multiple outdoor living zones, and a lush collection of trees that creates a peaceful, secluded feel rarely found this close to the city. A detached finished garden studio adds even more usable space, complete with heating, cooling, electric, insulation, and double-glazed windows, ideal for a home office, gym, yoga room, creative studio, playroom, or quiet retreat. Minutes from City Park, the Denver Zoo, the Museum of Nature & Science, 9+CO, Cherry Creek, coffee shops, restaurants, music venues, parks, and recreation, this home delivers the convenience of city living with the comfort and privacy of a thoughtfully improved retreat.
