980 S Pennsylvania Street

One of West Washington Park's largest Denver Squares is on the market for the first time in 47 years. This home has been lovingly maintained by this family to preserve its original character. There is a large front porch, unpainted oak trim, the original fireplace with English tile surround, spindled staircase, oak flooring and a beautiful oak buffet in the dining room. The tall Linden tree was planted out front in 1985. In 2000 a large addition was added that nearly doubled the size to 2925 SF above ground to accommodate the owner's growing family. The main level addition creates a large space open to the kitchen for gatherings with family and friends. The kitchen is open to the dining room and family room and has maple cabinetry, composite counters and stainless appliances including a gas range. The upper addition has a large primary retreat with modern 4 piece bath, 2 large closets and versatile office, nursery or yoga/exercise space. A balcony overlooks the backyard and is a perfect place to watch the sun or moon rise. 2 other bedrooms on this level have large closets and are served by an updated, full, hall bath. The addition is heated with comfortable and energy efficient hot water heat. Cooling is handled by a high end Breezaire evaporative cooler. The yard features a large, wrap-around deck that has room for outdoor dinner parties and a hot tub. A modern oversized 2 car garage sits on the alley. This home is located on one of West Wash Park's best blocks with great neighbors and good schools nearby. It is just 7 blocks West of popular Washington Park, 2 blocks from Whole Foods and 3 blocks from light rail with the many shops, restaurants and farmer's market on Old S Pearl just beyond. There are 2 neighborhood bars, a pilates studio, 2 barbershops, hair and nail salon, three other work out places and a liquor store all within 2 blocks. Living here could not be more convenient!
