Built in 1911 and thoughtfully remodeled, this Cole home keeps all of its historic character and none of the compromises. The open floor plan lets light and conversation move freely through the main level, while the original charm reminds you this house has a story. The kitchen is the star: new appliances, a high-end BlueStar range, and a butler's pantry that doubles as a prep and laundry room, so the mess stays tucked away when people are over. Every bedroom has an extra-large closet (yes, every one). Downstairs, a basement studio suite gives you room for guests, a home office, a creative space, or whatever comes next. Add extensive crawl space storage, which nobody gets excited about until they need it, and then it's the best feature in the house. The big-ticket items are already handled: new roof, freshly painted interior, sprinkler system front and back, a new storage shed, and a fireplace and chimney prepped for a gas insert. Out back, the private fenced yard is generous by any city standard, with a deck, a grassy lawn, a flagstone patio, and a mature shade tree that is practically asking for a rope swing. Then there's the location. Russell Square Park is one block away, recently refreshed with an expansive playground, a basketball court, picnic areas, and plenty of shade. RiNo, City Park, the Denver Zoo, the Museum of Nature & Science, and downtown are all close by, with quick access to I-70. Historic soul, modern function, and a backyard you'll actually use. Come see it in person.
