A rare opportunity in one of Denver’s most consistently appreciated neighborhoods: a fully permitted, comprehensive renovation of a 1912 bungalow on Grove Street in the Highlands. Nearly every major system was replaced in 2022 — plumbing, electrical, HVAC, tankless water heater, windows, doors, and appliances — while the home’s original character was carefully preserved. The result is a property that performs like a new build within a 100-year-old frame. You enter the home and are greeted with a warm and inviting living room complete with a fireplace. The living room opens into a bright, open kitchen and dining area, with quartz countertops and newer appliances, anchored by solid hardwood floors. A private main-floor primary suite with a dual-sink bathroom offers a rare accommodation for a home of this vintage. An additional bedroom and a full bath round out the main floor. The finished basement adds three bedrooms (one non-conforming), a family room, another full bath and dedicated laundry room. At the rear of the property: an oversized stamped concrete patio, fenced yard, and a 890-square-foot detached garage — an exceptionally rare find in the Highlands. This blank canvas is capable of housing six vehicles, a workshop, a studio, collection or any combination the next owner imagines. Renderings with potential uses can be found in the photo section. A short walk reaches Highland Square on 32nd Avenue: St. Kilian’s Cheese Shop, Cerebral Brewing, Mondo Vino, El Camino Community Tavern, Paperboy, Hearth, Fire on the Mountain, Beyond the Blackboard, West Side Books, Ruby Jane and Wax Trax Records. Highland Square hosts a bustling weekly Farmers Market and the beloved Highlands Street Fair, Oktoberfest, Harvest Festival and Holiday in the Highlands. Sloan’s Lake, LoHi, Ball Arena, and downtown Denver are within minutes. Living here provides you with a welcoming community reminiscent of small town living with the bonus of quick access to I-25.

Perched on a corner lot in the Highlands, this duplex unit lives like a single-family home — over 2,200 square feet, four separate outdoor spaces, and light in every room. Out front, a teal door opens onto a yard anchored by a luscious raised-bed vegetable garden, trellised squash and zucchini spilling over right off the sidewalk. The kitchen anchors the main floor: an eat-at island, granite counters, espresso cabinetry, and a pantry closet, with open sightlines into the sunlit living room. Down the hall, a powder bath opens to the back patio and lawn — fenced and tree-shaded, with room for a fire pit and still plenty of grass left over for play — plus a tucked-away side courtyard, a quiet spot for morning coffee away from the street. Upstairs, two guest suites each have their own ensuite 3/4 bath — the first just up a short flight, the second up another. Continue up to a dedicated laundry room with cabinetry, then down the hall to the primary suite: spacious and light-filled, with a large ensuite 3/4 bath featuring a double vanity and walk-in shower that opens to a huge walk-in closet. The top floor is built for entertaining — a loft with a wet bar and an indoor/outdoor fireplace clad in weathered corten steel, opening onto the rooftop deck for sunset drinks above the treetops, whether you're by the fire outside or watching it from the couch within. The finished garden-level basement, lit by an oversized window, flexes as an office, gym, media room, or theater. Set on a tree-lined street in the Highlands — one of Denver's true treasures — you're minutes from the charming shops and restaurants along Tennyson and 32nd.
