Situated on a prime corner lot in Sunnyside, this thoughtfully rebuilt property delivers a rare combination of location, flexibility, and long-term value. Moments from favorites like Semiprecious, Bacon Social House, and Better Buzz Yoga & Wellness, you'll enjoy one of Denver's most sought-after urban lifestyles, with dining, fitness, and gathering spots just blocks away. Unlike many renovations that prioritize speed over substance, this home was rebuilt with exceptional care and attention to detail. Every improvement reflects a commitment to quality, creating a residence that feels intentional, cohesive, and built to endure. A standout feature is the desirable ranch-style floorplan, offering true single-level living with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a dedicated laundry room on the main floor. The primary suite is especially noteworthy, featuring a private en suite bath and walk-in closet—amenities rarely found in homes of this vintage. Outside, fresh exterior paint and a newly installed privacy fence create a backyard retreat. An oversized detached two-car garage built in 2024 provides exceptional space for parking, storage, hobbies, or workshop use. Above the garage, a framed ADU presents a compelling value-add opportunity. With active, pre-paid residential and sewer use/drainage permits already in place, the next owner can complete the space as a rental, guest house, home office, studio, or multigenerational living quarters. Whether you're seeking a primary residence, investment opportunity, or multigenerational living setup, this home offers flexibility that is increasingly difficult to find in Denver's urban core. The most recent tenant generated approximately $3,700 per month in rental income. Combined with the quality renovation, oversized garage, future ADU potential, proven rental history, and premier Sunnyside location, this is a unique opportunity that stands out not only for what it is today, but for what it can become tomorrow.

Your First Home — Fenced Yard, Steps from RiNo ***Eligible buyers may receive up to $7000 in lender incentives toward closing costs, prepaids, or a rate buydown—with no income limits or training classes required.*** Trade apartment walls (and the neighbor stomping around upstairs) for a front door, a yard, and a pet-ready fenced yard. This fully renovated single-family cottage sits on an oversized lot, tucked at the back like its own private carriage house — no shared walls, nothing blocking your view, and RiNo's breweries, galleries, and coffee shops just a short walk/bike ride away. Inside: high ceilings, big windows, and light-filled rooms that feel nothing like a starter home. The kitchen and bath have been tastefully updated, and newer appliances — including an in-unit washer and dryer — mean day-one convenience. Outside is the real win. The yard is already fenced, so your dog can be out the door and running. Huge front yard a blank canvas of a lot ready for whatever you want to build or plant, and you've got outdoor space that's entirely yours. You're walking distance to RiNo's dog-friendly patios, minutes to Denver's bike path network, and a short walk to Fuller dog park! A detached garage rounds things out with flexible space for a car, storage, or a maker's studio. First-time buyer? This home may qualify for down payment assistance and lender grant programs! Investor? Previous Tenant is ready to move back in! Builder? Keep the income while you file for building permits to easily build a new home on the expansive front yard ( No Demo Required, and you already have the ADU built!) This home qualifies for the community reinvestment act providing 1.75% of the loan amount with a cap of $7,000 as a credit towards buyer’s closing costs, pre-paids and discount points.
