Previously a successful STR/Airbnb, this home offers intriguing potential for visiting guests, roommates or rental income. *** Outside, the fun continues: bonus office/art studio, tranquil sauna, magical oversized garage with rock-climbing wall, SunRun solar lease for electric offset, and a newly covered deck with natural wood beam ceiling. Follow the turf to the backyard BBQ station, complete with pergola, dining area, hammock and twinkling lights. *** Two blocks to DU, minutes to Platt Park / Wash Park / Harvard Gulch. So many reasons to leave your car at home. The world's very first Chipotle is right up the street, along with Jelli, Lucille's, Jerusalem Cafe, V Revolution. Bike/walk to Old South Pearl, South Downing and South Broadway eateries. Evans and University light rail stations make RTD airport transit a snap. Porter, Swedish & Craig hospitals are all within 10 minutes for optimal healthcare housing. Historic charm, architectural soul, income potential—and a backyard that knows how to have a good time.
