Two of Denver’s favorite places – Washington Park and Cherry Creek — make 405 S University Blvd an enviable location. Both are just blocks away.
Washington Park’s flower gardens, lakes and recreational options delight people of all ages and interests. Young families gather at the playgrounds. Walkers, runners and bikers exercise. And recreational sports teams play. Midsummer, friends and neighbors picnic on blankets while listening to free concerts performed by the Denver Municipal Band. From summer strolls to winter snowshoeing, the park is an idyllic natural respite year-round.
Nearby, Cherry Creek North and Cherry Creek Shopping Center offer premier shopping at more than 400 boutiques, shops, brand stores, spas and galleries, plus a variety of dining options at some 50 restaurants and outdoor cafes. The 19 galleries of Cherry Creek North host a gallery art walk on the first Friday of every month. On summer weekends, residents head to the farmer’s market for regionally-grown produce and tasty baked goods. Every 4th of July weekend, the Cherry Creek Arts Festival transforms the neighborhood into a large outdoor gallery. And for a change of pace, locals enjoy walking or biking along the waters of Cherry Creek on the 22-mile pathway.
This Tudor style home at 405 South University adds its special style and grace to the lovely locale. The front entry’s dramatic polished marble with granite inlays sets the standard of quality found throughout. Every room exudes charm and craftsmanship.
For example, the elegant, spacious dining room features a crystal chandelier, hardwood floor and crown molding. In the raised living room, a custom wood surround caps the granite-faced, wood-burning fireplace. Sculpted trim shapes the widened doorways and, natural and custom lighting create a dramatic ambiance.
The gourmet kitchen is a work of art in itself. Custom full height hardwood cabinets, colorful ceramic tile countertops and inlaid floors enhance the space. The mobile kitchen island makes it easy to adapt the work space flow to the needs of different occasions.
The same attention to detail flows into the oversized master retreat, two spacious secondary bedrooms, and baths. For example, stained glass windows and treatments of inlaid travertine marble and tile beautify the master bath.
This elegant residence also embraces modern lifestyle needs and amenities. The lower level provides open space for a study or games, and a family/media room for audio/visual entertainment. Custom built-in shelving accommodates your books, antiques, collectibles or entertainment center. Outdoors, the expansive rear courtyard offers a serene setting for entertaining, casual dining or relaxing. The front side yard has space for gardening. Ample off-street parking makes it easy for friends and guests to visit.
And again, for those times when outdoor recreation, shopping, dining out or gallery hopping beckon, Washington Park activities and Cherry Creek shopping adventures are just blocks away.
