1272 Leyden Street

This beautified and cute-ified 1940s-era home retains its historic character - think original hardwood floors and charming brick exterior - yet it's been professionally and tastefully updated top to bottom. Plenty of windows, crown molding, and an open and sunny layout set the scene for a happy home space. Look forward to entertaining from the chic and stylish kitchen, with shaker-style cabinetry, undermount sink, subway tile and stainless appliances. Raise a glass with friends on the pretty stone patio, surrounded by attractive landscaping and mature trees, with a responsive HOA that oversees the common areas. This easy-going townhouse fits in just right in this quiet, friendly neighborhood that manages to be close to downtown, Cherry Creek and Lowry, yet stands apart as its own independent enclave. Within a few-block radius are grocery stores, delis, drugstores and coffeehouses. Plus, you'll have plenty of new cuisines to try, hopping from one buzzed-about eatery to another.
