The Layout: Rare Main Floor Space & Infinite Flexibility
From the moment you walk up to the inviting front porch and step through the original carved wooden entry door, the historic character shines through an iconic Tudor-style fireplace anchoring the main living room. But what truly makes this property a standout asset is its rare interior configuration.
Multiple Living Areas (A Wash Park / Platt Park Rarity)
Finding multiple separate living areas on the main floor is nearly impossible in historic bungalows. This home breaks the mold by providing distinct spaces to spread out, relax, or entertain. Allowing for cozy movie nights in one area while leaving another open for quiet reading or formal hosting.
True Work-From-Home Adaptability

A Lower-Level "House-Hacking" Opportunity
Downstairs, the large finished basement opens up a world of possibilities. Complete with a secondary family room, a wet bar, and private access, it can serve as a spectacular primary retreat capable of easily fitting a king-sized bed alongside an ensuite bath and walk-in closet. Alternatively, with very minor modifications, this flexible footprint makes for a highly lucrative short-term rental setup or house-hack to offset your mortgage in a premium zip code.
The Outdoor Sanctuary: A Wisteria-Covered Paradise
Step through the sliding glass doors into the private, fully fenced backyard to experience the home's most unique crown jewel: a mature, stunning wisteria-covered pergola.
Pergolas of this maturity are an incredibly rare find in Denver. Adorned with glowing cafe string lights, this outdoor living room functions as a private oasis. It stands as the absolute perfect backdrop for intimate summer dinner parties, morning yoga, or unwinding under crisp Colorado starlit nights.
