245 S. Franklin has been exquisitely renovated since 2000, with the most recent updates completed in 2008. The home offers the rare opportunity to have three bedrooms with walk-in closets and two baths on the first floor. Attention was given to maintaining the character of the old, yet affording the owner the amenities of the new. All the bathrooms and the kitchen were rebuilt with in-character, yet contemporary, cabinets, flooring and tile work. Original chandeliers were used, and new ones added. Original brick was exposed and new brick added. Unique barn-like sliding doors were created in the master bedroom and basement. Custom built-ins and lighting are throughout. There still remains 1,000 sq. ft. in the attic for further expansion.
Interior Features The Dining Room and Kitchen both have unique custom built-in breakfronts. The large open kitchen has 42” cabinets, slab granite counters, an island, and a walk-in pantry. Appliances are stainless steel and include a gas range and built-in microwave; new refrigerator, new dishwasher, and a new sink. The kitchen opens to an eating area with a built-in bench seat and access to the backyard and garden level basement.
Exterior Features 245 S. Franklin St. has been professionally landscaped and maintained. Iron edging surrounds the lush perennial gardens, and there are nine species of trees. The backyard is perfect for outdoor entertaining with a beautiful flagstone patio, where an antique tin fountain provides ambient water for alfresco dining. Flagstone and brick paths wind through the yard to the detached one car garage and additional off street parking. The large dog run was added in 2008.

This neighborhood is known for its front porch living. This particular part of Wash Park is known for being quiet, providing walking areas near Denver Country Club. Yet, it is just blocks to the hustle and bustle of all that “The Park” provides.
Additional Features and Amenities The wide, open, stairway and brick faced wall beckons you to the garden level basement, where a large family room, fanciful child’s playroom and office, bathroom, non-conforming bedroom, mechanical and storage area significantly extend the living space for the home. Additional storage space is accessed behind the mirror in the basement bedroom. A new 91% efficiency heater and AC were installed in 2008.
