Denver, Colorado 80220
I’m Mackenzie. I did my pediatric residency at CU Anschutz, and this was our family’s home through it all. The commute was a 9-minute straight shot down Montview, which was huge on early morning calls. My husband Zach worked from home, our son had his own room, and we still had a guest bedroom for when family visited. Our dog had a fenced backyard with a dog door, and there’s a park with a dog park and tennis courts literally across the street.
Now that we’re moving on, we’re looking for a good fit. If this looks like it could work for you, we’d love to talk.
We’re selling by owner, no listing agent on our side. If you want to bring your own agent that’s totally fine, or if you want to keep things simple and direct, we’re happy to do that too.
These are from the last listing (pre-furniture). We’ll be adding updated photos soon.
Everything was pretty much redone before we moved in. The kitchen has subway tile backsplash, gray shaker cabinets, quartz countertops, and all stainless steel appliances (new as of 2023). The bathroom was updated with a tile surround and new vanity. Washer and dryer are in-unit.
There are ceiling fans in every room, which is great in the summer. The living room has a big window facing the park, and the primary bedroom is genuinely oversized. We had our king bed in there with room to spare. We used the second bedroom as our son’s room and the third as a guest room / office.
The backyard is fully fenced with a nice board-on-board privacy fence, and we put in a dog door on the back so the dog could go in and out. There’s a storage shed back there and a covered patio area where we spent a lot of evenings.
Beyond what was already updated when we bought it, here’s what we added.
Full board-on-board fence around the backyard. Looks great, real privacy.
Tore out the AstroTurf, poured concrete. Added outdoor furniture, string lights, the whole vibe.
Had professional insulation installed. Noticeably better with heating costs.
Fixed leaks, repaired the sewer pipe, added a bathroom vent. All the unglamorous stuff that matters.
Brand new door with a window and built-in dog door. Game changer if you have a dog.
Planted 3 trees (2 side, 1 front), fixed up the sprinkler system. The yard looks great now.
A couple things we noticed that the next owner could do with this place.
The primary bedroom is oversized and the laundry room is right there. You could pretty easily convert that space into a second full bath. In this market, a 3/2 is worth meaningfully more than a 3/1.
The covered back patio already has a roof and structure. A few other houses on the street have enclosed theirs to add a family room, office, or even a 4th bedroom. It’s a natural extension.
Honestly, the neighborhood was one of the best parts. Here’s what’s around you.
The drive to Anschutz is dead simple. Head east on Montview, you’re there. No highway, no turns, no drama. I could be walking into the hospital in under 10 minutes from the time I left the house. Denver Health is about 20 minutes away.
The house is on a corner on a main road, which means when it snows, the city plows it. We never once got snowed in, which is more than a lot of people in Denver can say.
We’re flexible on timing. We get the schedule thing. Reach out however works for you.
For sale by owner. Happy to work with your agent or keep it simple, whatever you prefer.
