At a time when Cherry Creek’s shopping/dining district is attracting a new round of multifamily residential building, Kentwood Real Estate’s Sheila Schlifkin says that having a single-family home — one adjoining no other — makes a big difference in the quality of life there. She has one of those to show you on Nov. 19 at 342 Monroe Street thatap been totally flipped this year from its 1999 origins; she’ll have it open before the game, noon until 3 p.m.
“When you’re not attached to any other home, you’re the boss,” Schlifkin said, showing off the makeover that this four-bedroom, six-bath home has had, on a pretty block that rises to the east, providing second-floor views of the mountains at this time of year, when the tree canopy is bare. This home was built less than 20 years ago — not all that long — but Schlifkin says the thorough remodel has made a huge difference in its appeal. The makeover got rid of a sunken living room with a center fireplace in favor of a wide-open layout that unfolds to a formal dining area, and a luxury kitchen with Wolf six-burner range and Sub-Zero fridge in a butler’s pantry, juxtaposed with a bright morning room with additional fireplace. Left alone is a nicely appointed study, and the basic architecture of a Denver Square — framing that view from a balcony that opens from one of two full master suites.
The price is $2,599,999 — one Schlifkin says is appealing with respect to the relatively small number of homes — particularly single-family plans — that are on the market here. On this one, you’ll see a bedroom suite level where the view master shows a third fireplace; and the second master is of even larger scale, with huge bath, designer tub, glass walk-in shower and hefty walk-in closet, close to an upstairs laundry. Those are joined by an elevator, not just to the main level, but to two guest bedrooms in a finished basement, for when kids come to visit. There’s another large laundry and rec area and a three-car, finished garage. Schlifkin has it open on Nov. 19 from noon to three. From Cherry Creek’s shopping/dining district take East Third Avenue east past Steele Street, four more blocks to Monroe and turn left; or call at 303-475-3275.
