2900 Forest ST Denver, CO 80207

This charming all-brick ranch on a large 9,370sf corner lot, situated on a block of other Mid Century modern houses, is a wonderful opportunity for you to create the Park Hill home of your dreams. Tidy and well-maintained, this 1949 ranch has been attributed to builder/developer Edward Hawkins, of Arapahoe Acres fame, who built 35 modern-style houses in Northeast Denver between 1942 and 1949. Elements of Mid-Century design are found in the home, most dramatically with the tongue & groove wood ceiling in the living room, and its floor-to-ceiling fireplace of thin Roman brick flanked by tall windows in a symmetrical layout. Other clever MidMod touches are the built-in bookcases in the living room and the unique cutout with a planter between the living room and hallway. Late 40s Art Deco glass and nickel ceiling lights line the hallway. Three bedrooms total are on one level, the front two are wrapped in wide knotty-pine paneling in keeping with the era the home was built. The largest of three bedrooms is located in the southeast corner and provides a potential path for expansion and the addition of a primary suite "wing" that could open onto the patio and rear yard, and create privacy from 29th Avenue. A covered patio is symmetrical to the living room and the wide brick fireplace chimney. A Breeze-Air evaporative cooler shares roof-space with the chimney. A two-car alley loading garage loads to the south for easy coming and going. The dining room, kitchen, and laundry are on the north end of the home and are accompanied by a half-bath, mechanical, and laundry. The original one-car garage has been converted into living space, but this volume could potentially be incorporated into a new space plan with a larger kitchen/dining/entertaining space oriented to the living room and yard. This well-preserved home is ready for your (and your architect's) creativity to begin a new exciting chapter in its life! Dryer and Freezer in the converted garage both work and are included.
