This custom 2023 Observatory Park modern home stands out for its thoughtful design, timeless materials, and exceptional level of finish. Crisp white architecture, black steel-grid windows, and a dramatic two-story glass entry create an immediate impression. Five bedrooms, six baths and a dedicated office, set on a rare double lot. Eight inch character grade hardwood from Spain runs the length of the main level, wide enough to show its grain. The living room gathers around a linear fireplace framed in Italian limestone, a material you notice with your hand before your eye. The kitchen was built for someone who cooks: custom cabinetry, a waterfall island, hickory floating shelves and a full height slab backsplash. Sub-Zero column refrigeration and freezer, a Wolf wall oven and convection steam oven, a wine column and dual dishwashers. Steps away, a wet bar in handmade Calacatta tile and a powder room finished in brushed gold. A steel stringer staircase rises to three en suite bedrooms. The primary is a genuine retreat, with its own limestone fireplace and a spa bath of full height polished slab, a soaking tub beneath a skylight, oversized shower, floating bench and private water closet. The finished lower level carries the same standard, with a full wet bar, family room, two bedrooms and two baths. A main level office behind a glass sliding door works equally well as a sixth bedroom. Smart lighting, locks and shades. Dual zone climate with whole home steam humidification. Covered patio, balcony, private yard and detached three car garage. Observatory Park is Denver at its most established: wide streets, mature trees, and a true park at its center anchored by the historic Chamberlin Observatory. The University of Denver sits just west, with light rail close at hand, and Bonnie Brae, Wash Park and Cherry Creek minutes away. Over 5,300 finished square feet on a double lot in a neighborhood that rarely turns over. Private showings by appointment.

Wake up to vaulted ceilings and morning light in this 4-bedroom, 4-bathroom townhome in one of Denver's most connected pockets, University Park. Built in 2006 and offering roughly 3,600 square feet, this home gives you the space of a single-family house with the low-maintenance ease of a townhome — plus a walled private yard and a 2-car detached garage that most attached homes in this area simply don't have. Inside, the open-concept main level flows from a custom kitchen with slab granite countertops and full-height cabinetry into bright, connected living and dining spaces built for everyday life and entertaining alike. Vaulted ceilings continue through the upper level, where the primary suite anchors the floor with a 5-piece bathroom and a large walk-in closet. Three additional bedrooms offer flexibility for a home office, nursery, gym, or guest space, each benefiting from the same vaulted, open feel. Downstairs, the finished lower level includes a private guest suite with its own full bathroom — ideal for visiting family, a long-term guest, or a quiet work-from-home setup separate from the main living areas. Step outside to a walled, private yard that's genuinely rare to find on a townhome in Denver, plus a detached 2-car garage for parking, storage, or a home gym setup. The location is what sets this one apart: close to Observatory Park and the Buchtel Prairie Park walking path, with Washington Park, Cherry Creek, and the Denver light rail all nearby. Restaurants, coffee shops, and everyday shops along S. University Blvd. are just minutes away, making errands, dinners, and weekend mornings quick and easy. This is a rare combination for University Park: real square footage, a private walled yard, a 2-car detached garage, and close proximity to some of Denver's best parks and dining — all in one well-built, move-in-ready home.
