This prime urban infill property is zoned R-2, allowing for single-family homes, duplexes, and accessory dwelling units (ADUs). It boasts dual street access (32nd/33rd Avenues) with utilities including an active 2nd sewer tap ready to use. Strategically located just 1.9 miles from I-70/I-76, 6 miles from downtown Denver, and 24 miles from DIA, with convenient access to transportation, bike trails, and Crown Hill Park nearby. The property is adjacent to the exciting 100-acre Lutheran Legacy Campus redevelopment project, which includes an approved master plan for parks, trails, and walkable streets that enhance neighborhood amenities.
