Framed by towering trees and perched gracefully above the iconic 6th Avenue Parkway, this Hilltop retreat offers a rare seamless fusion of architectural character and modern refinement. Mature trees offer a unique "mountain/surrounded by trees" feel. With substantial interior and exterior updates, this home embraces its original charm while delivering every contemporary comfort. Sunlight filters through leafy canopies into a vaulted living room with a classic fireplace, a dining room with bespoke built-ins and a bright, timeless kitchen with a center island and subway tile backsplash. The inviting great room with fireplace opens to a lush backyard oasis - complete with a sprawling patio, built-in grill - perfect for effortless entertaining. Calling all-weather barbecue masters, year-round barbecueing in this setting and proximity to kitchen can't be beat. Backyard includes fenced in drieway which offers extra play area. One of four gracious bedrooms, the serene primary suite features a spa-worthy bath with soaking tub, double vanity, walk-in shower and walk-in closet. Downstairs, the finished lower level adds a rec room, flex space and a laundry area. Easy, direct access to home from rear alley/garage area, adjacent to backyard which flows through french doors to great room/kitchen. Nights out are mere moments away at Postino and the movie theater while coffee at Frank and Roze or Toastique becomes a local morning essential. Centrally located moments from Cherry Creek, 9+Co, Lowry and beloved Robinson and Cranmer parks, this is Hilltop living at its most elevated.
