Congratulations to Red Door Properties’ newest buyers, Ryan and Marie, who closed on their Washington Park home this week! Ryan and Marie worked with Red Door Properties to sell their Swallow Hill Uptown condo in May and, after a few months of patiently waiting for the right Washington Park home to hit the market, they found a classic bungalow with modern architectural elements and fantastic outdoor spaces! Enjoy Wash Park, Ryan and Marie!!

373 South Sherman, Denver, CO 80209

Welcome to 373 South Sherman Street!

This charming Victorian home has tons of history! Built in 1893, it was affectionately known as “Daughter #3” because the original owner built this home and its two identical southern neighbors for his three daughters. Over the years, the home has been lovingly remodeled inside and out with the addition of a bright stucco exterior, front porch and back sunroom, sprinkler system, new roof and updated electrical panel.

A gracious entry foyer provides a convenient space to greet visitors and hang coats before welcoming them into the rest of the home. The living room features a wood burning fireplace with original oak mantel and original ceramic tile hearth and surround.

Between the living room and formal dining room are antique double pocket doors which were once common to Victorian homes but are difficult to find today. A lovely wall of built-ins provides storage for the dining room and new hardwood floors brighten the space.

The kitchen has an open floor plan with a sunny, southern facing window and bright white cabinets. A gorgeous, exposed brick wall and original white wainscoting provide historic charm to the room, while the remodeled granite counter tops, a double oven, tile flooring and movable storage/prep island provide the modern conveniences.

The master bedroom is located upstairs and has a spacious sitting area with great morning light. Two additional bedrooms upstairs would be perfect for kids! The center hallway between the upstairs bedrooms is brightened by beautiful clerestory glass above each doorway.

A fourth conforming bedroom with hardwood flooring, located on the main level, could also serve as a great office or study. A full bathroom with a restored antique claw foot tub (dating back to 1911) and original wainscoting is upstairs and a three quarter bath with newer tile flooring is on the main level.

This lovely home is ideally located on a quiet Washington Park street. Take a short jog to the activity of Wash Park or stroll around the corner to grab a cup of coffee and gourmet pastry at Buffalo Doughboy Bakery. The front yard is home to a rare black walnut tree that provides tons of nuts. The fully fenced back yard has a beautiful plum tree that yields over a bushel of fruit a year and the back deck features a trellis covered with white Niagara and Concord grape vines that offer delicious fruit, shade and ambiance. In addition, the owner has created a spacious, organic urban vegetable garden positioned south of the brick two car garage for plenty of sunshine.

Check out 5280′s recent “highly subjective take on who lives where in in the Mile High City.” Red Door Properties would love to hear your opinion…is 5280 accurate about Denver’s neighborhoods?

Trick-or-Treat Denver!!

Ok…Halloween is almost here, so it’s time to start planning your trick-or-treating route!

This year, Zillow.com named Denver the 16th best trick-or-treating city in the country based on a methodology which factored in home value (assuming, I guess, the wealthier the neighborhood the better the candy), population density, walkability and crime statistics to create their Top 20 Trick-or-Treating City Index. We were 5th last year, so we dropped a bit… disappointing, but it still looks like were still in a good spot for a fruitful evening this year…that’s good news!

Now, of course, the question is where in Denver should you focus all of your door knocking energy? Zillow also ranked the neighborhoods in Denver using the same methodology and listed the following 5 as your target hoods for Halloween:

I wouldn’t argue that any of the neighborhoods ranked by Zillow are not good targets, but where is Stapleton?…right?!? Although, we don’t have a fancy index formula like Zillow.com, Red Door Properties knows Denver and would like to add Stapleton to this exclusive list of Denver trick-or-treat target neighborhoods.

All that said…where ever you decide to take your little ghosts and goblins this year…Red Door Properties wishes you a safe and Happy Halloween!!!!
