Just a few steps from the rushing waters of Mill Creek and with a private pond, this spacious A-frame home is both spectacular and comfortable.

Upstairs, a massive loft has room enough for a another bedroom, as well as a family space.

5763 S. Olathe in Centennial

Few neighborhoods in the Metro area deliver the bang-for-the-buck like the Piney Creek neighborhood in Centennial. Located just south of popular Smokey Hill High School, Piney Creek is close to main streets Parker Road, Orchard, and Buckley. E470 and I225 are just minutes away.

The homes in Piney Creek are spacious and well-appointed, with lots of features. 5763 S. Olathe is a great example of what this neighborhood has to offer. With three bedrooms and four baths, there’s room for the whole family.

The living room feels even larger than it is, with a high vaulted ceiling. Architecturally, the design is a side-split. The family room on ground level is open to the large, eat-in kitchen. The master suite, two other bedrooms, and open loft occupy the highest floor. A media room, complete with a movie screen is on the lowest level. The mid-level also includes a private office.

Built in 1986, this Piney Creek home is a true reflection of its era, when buyers demanded big kitchens, large lots, three car garages, and lots of room to entertain. The private backyard has a built-in grill and 600 sq. foot patio. In any neighborhood close to the inner city, this much house would command a price tag close to a million dollars (or more).

For growing families, this part of Centennial offers great Cherry Creek schools, including Indian Ridge Elementary, Laredo Middle School, and Smokey Hill High. Lots of shopping and recreation, including a neighborhood pool are all close by.

Barnum Home Reflects History of the Community

Welcome to 985 King Street. This little home has defied both time and gravity, as it still remains standing despite its 125 year history.

Originally built as the offices for the Barnum Circus, it’s apparent that this home has been expanded at least once in its lifetime. The two bedrooms on the south, are clearly an addition, as is the utility porch at the rear of the building. All told, this home is 715 square feet. It has two bedrooms, a kitchen, a living, a bathroom, and a utility room.

Unfortunately, the years have taken their toll on this charming little home. The foundation is poorly built and as a result the walls are clearly drooping, particularly the south front corner of the building. All of the mechanicals are in bad shape, especially the aging furnace. The roof, amazingly, has lasted more than 40 years.

Despite its obvious curb appeal, this house will need lots of love (and a fair amount of engineering) to remain a viable and livable home. It seems likely that only an experienced investor will be able to take on such a large challenge.

Perhaps the best thing about this home, in its current state, is the lot and location. Located just a few blocks from RTD’s new light rail station on Knox Court and just around the corner from a bus stop on 10th Ave., this location is perfect for anyone who uses public transportation.

In addition, Mile High Stadium, downtown, and the new redevelopment that St. Anthony’s near Sloan’s Lake are all just minutes away. For commuters, this location features easy access to Sixth Avenue freeway, Colfax Avenue, and Federal Boulevard.

Its 6250 square foot lot is perfect for families and urban farmers. The neighborhood is perfect for either rentals or owner-occupied homes. A quick drive around the area shows many homes being remodeled or being built from scratch. Clearly, the neighborhood is ready for investment.This neighborhood features many homes that were a part of the Barnum community which began as a winter resting point for the famous circus. Hopefully, the history of this home and his community will be remembered for many years to come.

This home has sold.
