815 Vivian St, Lakewood, CO 80401

Property Description

Home should feel like a reprieve - somewhere you exhale, somewhere that holds you up and lays the foundation for memories of joy, community, and love. That is 815 Vivian, to a tee. The original 1944 house was taken down to the studs and completely rebuilt, and a large new addition was added in 1979. The garage was built in 1989. Vivian was made the way custom homes used to be built - with a level of craftsmanship and integrity that's hard to find today. The current owner has held the property for nearly fifty years and cared for it meticulously, with real love. Solid oak built-ins run throughout, and a generous additional living space with its own bathroom sits above the 480-square-foot garage. The roughly one-third acre leaves plenty of room to garden and unwind, complete with a beautiful greenhouse. The location is hard to beat - about fifteen minutes to either downtown Denver or the foothills, and just minutes from Colorado Mills and Denver West, with Whole Foods, Target, Cheesecake Factory, Chipotle, Yard House, and more close by. The unit above the garage is wonderfully versatile: a rental to help offset the mortgage, an artist's studio, an office, a craft room - whatever you need it to be. Charm, warmth, and an understated sophistication define this property. Welcome to Vivian. You are home. *Note: Total square footage includes an estimate of the unit above the garage. The main house has two (2) bedrooms and two (2) bathrooms; the unit above the garage has one (1) bedroom area and one (1) bathroom.*
