2266 S Downing St Denver CO 80210

by Derec Shuler on December 3, 2009

We’re glad to announce the latest home for sale in the University area of Denver that’s getting ready to hit the market in the next week!

This wonderful home at 2266 S Downing St, Denver, CO 80210 is in easy walking distance to Safeway, shops, restaurants like Little India, and Harvard Gulch Park, giving it a Walkscore of 78.

What’s great about this home is the 4 conforming bedrooms (it’s a technical thing but each bedroom has two point of exit in case of emergency, something rare when bedrooms are in the basement).   It also has central air conditioning and new hot water heater and high efficiency gas furnace.

The kitchen is updated with new stainless steel appliances, modern cabinets, and bamboo countertops.  The extra long driveway leading from the front of the house to the garage will allow for up to 4 cars, a nice bonus.  Actually, the nice bonus for those in the outdoorsy scene, is the climbing wall built along the garage, great for bouldering and definitely a social piece during cookouts on the patio.

This home will be ready for showings in another week after we finish painting and laying down new carpet in the basement.

Watch the website at http://2266SDowningSt.com for the latest updates and follow this home on Twitter @2266SDowningSt.
