Downtown Littleton Project.

Downtown Littleton

We bought a house in Downtown Littleton and plan to remodel it! Click here for the video tour of the “before” with appearance from Hank, the Aussiedoodle.. Don’t worry, we will keep you in the loop of our work.

The Details:
2 bedrooms.
1 bathroom.
1018 sq. ft.
unfinished basement.
8,000 sq. ft. yard.
1 car detached garage.
7 minute walk to Downtown Littleton and Lightrail Station.
Open living/dinning room.
Built in 1917.
Gorgeous hardwood floors throughout main level.

The Projects:

Paint, everything.
Finish the basement, adding another bathroom, living room and bedroom. (roughly 600 sq. ft.)
Refinish the front porch floor.
Make the kitchen more user friendly – not sure what yet but right now the fridge is in a separate room.
Replace air registers.
Add central A/C.
Remove cat smell (three cats resided here before us).

The Goal:

The updates will work to preserve the character of the home and the year in which it was built. Once finished, we will evaluate the highest and best use of the home: short term rental, long term rental or selling it. Follow along as we make these changes!

Why Downtown Littleton?

Historic Downtown Littleton has a number of shops, restaurants, coffeeshops and bars and with a walk score of 40, they are easy to get to on foot. Close by are parks and trails for walking/running and biking, including the High Line Canal. Home values have increased steadily over the past five years and as Downtown Littleton continues to grow, we saw the potential for more appreciation. As Downtown Denver continues to get more expensive, many people are finding Downtown Littleton as an affordable option. In recent years, the Viewhouse and the Tavern have moved into Downtown Littleton, attracting millennials, one of the largest groups of consumers right now. Additionally, a few of my favorite places in the city have announced they are opening a location in Downtown Littleton – Bacon Social House and Fierce45.
