355 S Williams St

This property, a 6,240 sq. ft. (double) lot, has been in my family for 75 years and three generations. It holds a lot of great memories but the brick house and separate one-car garage, built in 1912, are in need of complete overhauls or scraping. (For those who enjoy history, I have most of the provenance prior to my grandparents purchasing it in 1947.) The house is ~ 2,600 sq. ft. split between the main floor and basement. The main floor has living and dining rooms, kitchen, two bedrooms, built-in hallway linen storage, one bathroom, and a small ‘office’ or storage add-on room next to the ‘porch’ where there is a narrow staircase for basement access. The basement is mostly finished – one end has a fireplace – and the rest is partitioned off for a bedroom, cedar closet, laundry, several small storage rooms, and a workbench room. A large, beautiful American Linden tree provides plenty of front yard shade during the hot summer days. It is not priced to sell to property investors or developers, rather for someone who wants to live in a great neighborhood with a community of people who enjoy the outdoors and can appreciate some of the ‘simpler’ things, like the occasional free mini street concerts. This is a PRIME LOCATION with NO HOA. Walking distance to the historic Washington Park with its modern recreation center, tennis and basketball courts, two lakes, the iconic W. P. Boathouse – where you can rent pedal boats, kayaks, and paddle boards to play on the lake – walking/bike paths, playground, and flower gardens. Walking distance to the quaint shops and restaurants on Gaylord Street or to play or walk along Cherry Creek on your way to the Cherry Creek Mall. Walk to the Denver Country Club, across from the mall. Also have churches, banks, and schools within walking/biking distance or a short drive away – plus easy access to the Auraria Campus and Metro State University or to the University of Denver. And if you like the ‘downtown’ scene for work, play, shopping, or the arts, that’s just minutes away as are other parks, the Denver Botanic Gardens, the Denver Art Museum, and the Denver Zoo. It’s a short drive to medical facilities or to get your groceries, or visit the ‘big box’ stores. Like golfing? Lots of places to choose from including aqua golf. It’s a quiet neighborhood, but if you want to get out of the city, there’s quick access to I-25 where you’re options abound. Whatever you like to do, I hope this sounds like the ideal place for you. Price is marginally negotiable. Seller requires $100,000 earnest money . All offers must be submitted with a mortgage pre-approval letter or proof of funds.
