Are you looking for a project... like a REAL project? If so, 1921 S Marion Street is the property for you. This 1920s bungalow sits on a 6,250 sq. ft. lot and is in close proximity to Platte Park, Wash Park, and the University of Denver. Getting back to the project component of this... honestly, it's either a scrape or a complete gut renovation, potentially with a pop-top. I have two great comps that support our list price and the potential for a quick sale. Check them out online, and as you do, please note that they're in the exact same neighborhood and sit on the same 6,250 sq. ft. lot size. The first is 1935 S Gilpin Street, Denver, CO 80210. This property needed a complete gut renovation or to be torn down. It sold for $552K after starting at $625K. The other is 2035 S Humboldt Street, Denver, CO 80210. From what I can gather, this one also needed to be torn down or completely gutted. It sold for $565K after starting at $589K. As you can see, rather than pricing high and coming down, this property is being priced right from the start. Reach out with any questions, Showings start Tuesday, September 29th. Schedule a showing, or stop by the Open House on Tuesday, September 29th, from 1–3 PM.
