We worked for more than a year to make this Wash Park home just right. Now we are moving for a job and this house with every detail done is now available.

What details?

- First, it's the ideal location location location. It's a 5-minute walk to the best park in Denver, and a 5-minute walk to the Light Rail station. From that station it's a straight shot to Downtown or the Tech Center. It's also a 5-minute drive on the highway to downtown, and a 5-minute drive to the Cherry Creek mall.

- The home itself is a stately Victorian beauty, which looks as good today as when it was built in 1897.

- The lot is huge compared to most of Wash Park, and the giant yard gets amazing sun from the southern exposure.

- The inside of the home needed work when we bought it, and we did ALL of the work, so you can have all the charm of an old home, but all the comfort and convenience of all-new construction.

- All new kitchen with Soapstone island and tons of cabinets.

- Just between the kitchen and the family room is a cozy gas-flame inside-outside fireplace. That is, it's toasty warm in the winter, and is just right to take off the chill if it gets cool while you are sitting on the patio in the Spring or the Fall.

- A wood-burning fireplace in the living room surrounded by original tile work and built-in book cases.

- In addition to the hugemongous living-dining room, family room and kitchen, there's a room that will work great as either a home office or a playroom and a half-bath on the first floor.

- Three roomy bedrooms upstairs, each with a walk-in closet

- Two full bathrooms and a laundry room, all upstairs.

- That's right, the laundry is upstairs, no more trips up and down stairs!

- Built-in drawers and cabinets in the upstairs hall and the master bedroom. Handy!

- Master bath has jet stream tub and separate enclosed steam shower with a bench inside the shower. Ahhhhhhh.

- Lovely tile floors in both bathrooms, but don't worry about cold toes! Both bathrooms have radiant heat in the floor.

- Master bedroom has huge cove ceilings and plenty of room for a king-sized bed.

- Home is truly all new: Every inch of plumbing and wiring were installed new in 2006, so unlike so many older homes, two people can take really nice showers at the same time and then run hair dryers at the same time.

- Home office, family room, and all bedrooms wired for Cable and Internet.

- Every window is a new double-paned Marvin with warm wood on the inside.

- Well, not every window... There are four original period stained-glass windows that were restored during the renovation.

- All new landscaping, finished just this spring. Totally automated system. If you like to garden there's room for that, and if not just let the Sprinklers do it all. We also have a great lawn guy.

- Out the sliding glass doors you'll find a huge and magnificent deck made of Cumaru, a Brazilian hardwood that will last 50 years. Here's another example of the detail you'll find in this house: The deck is assembled with no screw-holes (where problems with wood always start) and instead the planks were "joined" the way a picture frame is made.

- Of course, this is where you get to enjoy the other side of the inside-outside fireplace.

- There's also a roof structure over the top of part of the deck, the part that has a gas line stubbed out for a barbecue - no more trips to the Home Depot in the middle of a dinner party for a tank of gas!

- There's also a playhouse next to the deck, but it's not attached so if you want it moved or removed, no problem. If you do have kids or want to have kids over, though, they'll build many fond memories in this double-deckered clubhouse with a play area and a small porch on top and an enormous sand box below.

- Two-car garage with working automatic opener.

- In front of the garage the parkway is much wider than is typical in Denver. This is important because it gives you two parking places off the street without using the garage, in case you want to use the garage for stuff or a workshop instead of for cars.

- Just to the side of the house there's a handy 6-by-12 TuffShed we built to store stuff during construction. 

This house is awesome, families that we have over have just raved about how comfortable it is, how fun it is for kids, how inviting it is for guests. We built everything to be just right, and had planned to live in it for decades, but a job changed our plans. That means you have a great opportunity for a kind of house that is just hard to find in Washington Park.

If this house on a lot this size was on the other side of the park, it would be well north of a million bucks. It's on Washington, which is a one-way, but the city has plans to change it and Emerson back to two-way soon. When that happens the value of this house will shoot up. But that won't matter much for you because (unless a job change happens for you) your family will want to stay here for decades just like us.

We are selling without a Realtor™. If you are a Realtor™ please do not contact us unless you want to buy this house for yourself. (You should! It will show others what a savvy buyer you are and your family will love it!) We already have a Realtor™ identified that we will use if we don't sell it ourselves. If you have a buyers' agent, we are willing to negotiate paying them. 

By the way, we have a great and honest mortgage broker, so if you want help getting that part done we'd be happy to connect you to him.

Wash Park has a bunch of small bungalows, awkward-looking pop-tops, and new duplex units with postage-stamp yards. There are very few good-sized, charming, functional houses on big lots like this one. Still, the price per square-foot of this one is right in line with the neighborhood so this isn't just a great house but a great value.

Visitors to our house have told us it will sell fast; it just feels like a great place with everything done, and done right. Send us an email, and tell us when you'd like to see the place and we'll set up a showing for you.

Thanks for reading!
