Renovated Park Hill Bungalow - Just Listed @ $400,000

I fell in love with this beautiful homelocated at 2892 Cherry Street in Park Hillat the curb. Situated high on a generous corner lot in one of Denver' s most coveted neighborhoods, the classic brick construction, extra roomy front porch, and amazing HUGE front door had me hoping for the best inside. I was not disappointed.

The beautifully xeriscaped front garden with just enough grass to play, and a flagstone patio big enough for adirondack chairs and a firepit create the perfect place to chat with the neighbors, greet guests, and relax with a big mug of coffee or tumbler of wine.

Walking through the over-sized front door, you will be surprised by the open layout and generous size of the living room, dining room, and stunning gourmet kitchen.

Perfect for cooking with the family, entertaining a large party, or setting the perfect intimate dinner service, this home has been thoughtfully renovated with actual LIVING in mind.

The kitchen is both literally and figuratively the heart of this home.

The seller has thoughtfully moved the kitchen from a small, cramped space in the back of the house into the absolute center, allowing for easy entertaining, comfortable meal preparation, and enough room to host either a large, boisterous birthday party or a small community meeting.

A fabulous combination of materials and finishes create a kitchen that feels not only expensive and professionally designed, but also well-used and loved. From the stainless steel and silestone countertops to the stainless steel appliances, great effort was made to integrate this home's history with its present and future - with plenty of room to grow.

French doors from the kitchen lead to an organic garden and big backyard, as well as a newer 2-car garage with overhead storage. There are 2 big bedrooms upstairs, each with en-suite full bathroom. There is also a great bonus/office space with plenty of room to work, craft, play, etc.

The windows throughout this home are large and thoughtfully placed to maximize both light and privacy.

The high ceilings and original wood detailing add to both the period charm as well as the spacious vibe that makes this home feel so inviting and comfortable.

The finished basement is the big bonus in this home - doubling the home's finished square footage in a really usable, stylish way. Huge storage closet, big open living space, a smaller playroom/meditation space, as well as a big conforming bedroom and beautifully finished full bath - perfect for guests, the kids, and a family getaway space.

Built-in shelving surrounds a space perfect for a TV, creating usable storage and display.

Located in lovely Park Hill, this home is on a quiet, tree-lined street.

Located just east of City Park and stretching from Colfax Avenue the longest continuous street in the U.S. to the northern city limits, Park Hill traces its roots to 1887 when the original area was platted by exiled German baron Allois Guillame Eugene Von Winckler. Almost exclusively residential, a wide variety of housing styles characterize the area, changing in style from bungalows and Four Squares to post-World War II Cape Cods as the neighborhood expanded northward.

The largest share of Denver's tree-lined parkways is located in Park Hill. Developed at the height of the City Beautiful movement, these "shaded drives," used frequently by runners and walkers, are at least 10 degrees cooler during the city's hot and dry summers. Nearby amenities include City Park, Denver's largest; the Denver Museum of Nature and Science; and the Denver Zoo.
