There are neighborhoods people move to, and then there are neighborhoods people never want to leave. This quiet stretch of 9th Avenue is one of them. Wide tree-lined streets, longstanding neighbors, kids heading to school in the morning and riding bikes to the Congress Park pool on weekends. It's a special enclave, and locals know it.What sets this 1925 brick and stucco home apart from the typical Congress Park bungalow is how it lives. Warm and inviting with coffered ceilings, a gas fireplace and an east-facing sunroom that every family finds a different use for. The kitchen is appointed with a Thermador range, oven and dishwasher and a Liebherr refrigerator and freezer, ample counter space and a butcher block prep station, opening naturally into the dining area in a way that just works. Four bedrooms, a finished basement and a walk-in laundry room with storage give everyone the space they need.Out back, the professionally landscaped yard was made for Colorado evenings. Built-in seating, a water feature and uplighting create a private retreat you'll actually live in. A corner lot allows you to enjoy the full length of the yard on two sides- perfect for kids, entertaining and everything in between.Congress Park is three blocks away with its newly renovated Olympic-sized pool, brand new playground, tennis courts and ball fields. Zoned for Teller Elementary, ranked in the top 5% of Colorado schools, this location puts Cherry Creek North, the restaurants along 12th Avenue, Trader Joe's and the Denver Botanic Gardens (summer concerts and all) right at your doorstep.3040 E 9th Avenue is the kind of address that rarely becomes available.
