Enjoy the hustle of the city but want a yard and lots of storage? 1288 S Emerson St. offers both PLUS immediate access to the light rail, commuting routes, coffee shops, restaurants, and great schools with a spacious fenced lot & custom remodeled gourmet kitchen. Truly the center of the city - walk to Wash Park, Whole Foods, S Pearl Farmer's Market & Festivals, Call Your Mother, Stella's, Chook, Sushi Den, Wash Perk, Sweet Cow and, in June, James Beard-nominated Reunion Bread's new home. Jump on the Light Rail for a 12-min ride to DTC or 18-min ride to Union Station. Prefer to drive? You're no more than -15 minutes away from anywhere in city limits. From the roomy living spaces to the bonus storage nooks, you will find a home suited for your life today and years to come. The sunny main floor features expanded, gorgeous hardwood floors throughout. A quiet wing holds two bedrooms (one will fit a king bed, one a queen), full bathroom and spacious linen closet. The lower level has an oversized family room for multiple uses, large bedroom, 3/4 bath, & laundry room with extra storage. Don't miss the enormous storage room with built-in shelves. Our Sellers invested to perfect this home: custom renovated kitchen to the highest standards (check out hidden lower cabinets facing the dining area and the touch-to-open waste drawer); added Central Air Conditioning; opened the main floor living space; expanded and restored hardwood floors; and created more usable outdoor space with thoughtful landscape design. Wonderful, fully fenced backyard with an elevated deck means you can make full use of Denver's lovely evenings. Yes, the home is at the corner of a main street that sees more traffic than a residential street. BUT It's also less than 3 blocks from one of Denver's best parks *and* a light rail station, zoned to highly sought Steele Elementary, has been thoughtfully remodeled, and is under $900k. Inside, the home is perfectly quiet. *Must see to believe*
