Do you love Denver, too?
As Denver Real Estate Agents we adore Denver’s every little nook and cranny, which is why we’ve started ramping up our Neighborhood Spotlights. Inside each post, we’ll give you a little history (but only a little), fill you in on what the locals have to say about their ‘hood, and then give you some reasons to get your booty over to visit.
2951 Wyandot St. | Denver | LoHi | Sold
Stunning true live/work historic home or office in the heart of LoHi! Love light? You and your people will love the 17 foot ceilings with a wall of windows. Historic charm meets clean renovation with open kitchen, work, and living areas on the main floor. Two basement bedrooms (one non-conforming) don't feel "basement-y" because of clever, open design. Extra loft space gives plenty of storage (330 cubic ft!). Convenient bathroom on each floor (yass!). Shared, huge-tree-shaded and fully-fenced courtyard is amazing for grilling, gathering, entertaining, and quiet enjoyment.
