If you want to live in Park Hill, this home is a must see! Positioned on the north side of a large lot, this house has tons of sunshine all year round. Enter into a cozy front sun porch and then into a large living room with a convenient coat closet at the front door. There is beautiful hardwood flooring throughout, ceiling fans, updated double pane windows and a wood fireplace in the living room with surrounding built-in shelving.
The living room is large and unlike many bungalows can be easily configured to highlight the fireplace, your TV, or both!
The kitchen is bright and sunny with a back stair addition that adds to the open and spacious feeling. The entire room was recently remodeled and features a functional design with slab granite counter-tops, maple glazed cabinetry and newer appliances including a convection microwave hood combination. The kitchen opens up to a large formal dining room that has a wall of southern facing windows.
There are 2 bedrooms and 1 full bathroom on the main level. The front bedroom has a nicely sized walk-in closet and the back bedroom has 6 high windows on 2 walls. The bathroom is positioned off of a small hallway in between the two bedrooms and has built-in storage.
The basement in this home is fully finished, with higher ceilings and southern facing, brick paver-lined, egress windows making the space bright, sunny and truly usable! The basement includes a large family room with newer carpet and built-in shelving, a third conforming bedroom, a three-quarter bathroom and a large laundry room.
If you like this home now, just wait until the Summer…The owner is a passionate gardener who has spent years transforming the yard into a Park Hill oasis. The flagstones are reclaimed Denver sidewalks, and the low water perennial native plants were selected and zoned to grow sustainably by a Denver Zoo landscape designer. Although the plants need minimal water, the lawn will be green all summer long with a recently installed sprinkler system. A meandering gravel pathway will take you through the large southern side yard replete with plantings and an arched arbor.

What’s Your Zoning?
Regardless of your position on the current zoning debate taking place right now in the Highland neighborhood between the No High Rises in West Highland Group and RedPeak Properties, one thing should be completely clear…as a home owner, you must understand the Denver zoning code, you must know how your property is zoned, and you must know how your neighbors’ properties are zoned!

Even if you have no thoughts of ever developing your property or changing the external appearance of your home, your neighbors may not have the same plans for their home and their plans could greatly impact your property’s value. Fortunately, most of Denver’s Zoning code is logical, and you probably won’t be surprised by the zoning of your neighborhood, but that also might not be the case…
To find out the zoning of your property, refer to the Denver Zoning Map. Simply type in your property’s address and click search. For example, typing in “3220 Meade Street” returns the map below showing that the property is zoned U-MS-5 (which basically means…”Urban - Main Street - 5″ where the 5 more or less refers to the number of allowable levels).

To find out exactly what the zoning of your property means and specifically what type of development is allowable on your property or on that of your neighbors’, download a copy of the Denver Zoning Code. Doing a quick find on “U-MS-5″ will bring you to the following short description followed by a ton of details which pretty clearly describe what the City will allow to be constructed.

Now, if you’re a home owner on a residential street like Meade St. in the Highland neighborhood and you discover that you’re zoned U-MS-5, you probably won’t be too happy to read the above description and should probably start getting involved in your neighborhood association! If, on the other hand, you’re a landowner/developer who wants to build some high density apartments near the popular 32nd and Lowell retail area, you’re probably pretty happy to read the above description and should get your plans submitted for permit asap!
If you check out the Denver Zoning Code and have questions, contact Red Door Properties to discuss.
