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.

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.
