Perched on a corner lot in the Highlands, this duplex unit lives like a single-family home — over 2,200 square feet, four separate outdoor spaces, and light in every room. Out front, a teal door opens onto a yard anchored by a luscious raised-bed vegetable garden, trellised squash and zucchini spilling over right off the sidewalk. The kitchen anchors the main floor: an eat-at island, granite counters, espresso cabinetry, and a pantry closet, with open sightlines into the sunlit living room. Down the hall, a powder bath opens to the back patio and lawn — fenced and tree-shaded, with room for a fire pit and still plenty of grass left over for play — plus a tucked-away side courtyard, a quiet spot for morning coffee away from the street. Upstairs, two guest suites each have their own ensuite 3/4 bath — the first just up a short flight, the second up another. Continue up to a dedicated laundry room with cabinetry, then down the hall to the primary suite: spacious and light-filled, with a large ensuite 3/4 bath featuring a double vanity and walk-in shower that opens to a huge walk-in closet. The top floor is built for entertaining — a loft with a wet bar and an indoor/outdoor fireplace clad in weathered corten steel, opening onto the rooftop deck for sunset drinks above the treetops, whether you're by the fire outside or watching it from the couch within. The finished garden-level basement, lit by an oversized window, flexes as an office, gym, media room, or theater. Set on a tree-lined street in the Highlands — one of Denver's true treasures — you're minutes from the charming shops and restaurants along Tennyson and 32nd.
