Property Description
Here is a chance to own a little piece of old town Highlands. Located in the only historically-protected block in Jefferson Park, the core of this hidden gem was built in 1886 and was home to workers of the Zang Brewing Company. It has survived Denver's growth for well over a hundred years, including the relocation of River Drive. Now with all its modern updates, the house sits tucked in a private one-way alley (the original River Drive) making it the perfect little hide-away in the city. The carport area has a cedar shed and can hold one, maybe two tandem cars (backed-in) and the city provides on-street permits for River Drive. Enter through one of the three gates to your fully fenced-in yard - the right size for raised garden beds, pets or just enjoying the view from the patio. The yard has an 8x10 ft. shed for storing tools and seasonal items. Step into a small foyer for storing your daily stuff (ski/snowboard racks are nearby in the cellar area). The living room (and above it) is the original 1886 structure with wood-burning fireplace. The space is surprisingly flexible. Put focus on the fireplace, optimize for TV watching on one of the two walls, or make a dining area or bar just off the pantry. The kitchen has an extra dining space that's been used as a cozy family/TV room too. From here, you're steps away from the grill area and patio. Walk up the original stairs and enter into two, open (yet still conforming) bedrooms, full bathroom, and laundry area. This space is perfect for a single person or couple! With original wood floors, six windows and six skylights, you'll feel like you're floating in a tree house. Step out onto the deck and enjoy what's left of the city views. Technically, you can see the Cash Register Building from the bathtub, but that's a stretch. All the same, relax and enjoy some elevated space at your little hidden home in the city. Or if you live primarily outside of Colorado, make this your perfectly-placed Denver pied-a-terre.
