Description
Bask in the historic charm of this stunning 2-story Craftsman home in Denver’s beloved Park Hill. Perched on a tree-lined corner at 22nd and Bellaire, two blocks north of Montview Blvd and the Museum of Science and Nature, the residence is walking distance from City Park, the Denver Zoo, Spinelli’s Market, and a myriad of favorite local restaurants and watering holes. Park Hill is also home to exceptional schools (Park Hill Elementary, DSST, McAuliffe Middle School and East High). Built in 1915, during the Arts and Crafts Era, this home demonstrates the hallmarks of the period. The exterior has a low-pitched triangular roof with overhanging eaves and decorative brackets, a wide front porch, and half-timbering with stucco. The interior has natural materials like dark-stained trim made of now-extinct wood from Germany, and well-maintained hardwood floors. Original features include exposed beam coffered ceilings, parlor pocket doors with leaded beveled glass, built-in buffets and cabinets in the dining room, cast iron radiators, original tile in the bathroom, and crystal doorknobs. A bright sunroom encased by windows and flooded with natural light provides a cozy place for a cup of tea. Through a solid two-way door from the dining room, the kitchen leads to a light-filled eating area with windows overlooking the backyard that provides opportunity to expand the kitchen and main floor bathroom. The second story hosts 3 large bedrooms with hardwood floors, walk-in closets and a full bath. The 3rd bedroom has a balcony that faces the backyard and a bonus space ideal for an en suite bathroom. Two staircases lead to the lower level which has a large living room with gas fireplace, laundry room, full bathroom and a 4th bedroom. The backyard offers an escape from the hustle and bustle with a west-facing deck, built-in flower boxes, ample flowerbeds and a detached, 2-car garage. Live your best life in this historic gem in the heart of the city! *Property is AS-IS*
