This 1927 Hoyt-inspired Spanish Revival home, located on 17th Avenue Parkway in Park Hill, is rich in history. Situated on almost a quarter of an acre, the setback from the Parkway gives it an appearance of grandeur. The property included a speakeasy in the basement during prohibition, making it a popular neighborhood spot. The original door that concealed the speakeasy is still in place along the steel enclosed bar.
The house was made up-to-date with modern additions through the years, including a main floor family room and office. There is also a 2-car garage with a rooftop sunning deck accessible from the backyard. Further, the kitchen updated to today's standards. The updates were done while not disturbing the beautiful architectural details from the period it was built, including the rod-iron work on the front door and the main staircase railing. The living area still boasts cathedral cove ceilings and palladium windows throughout the home.
Also noteworthy is that all three bedrooms on the second floor contain an ensuite bathroom. The main bedroom has ample closet space - an anomaly for the home's time. A guest suite and bath are suited in the basement, along with a wine cellar.
This exquisite home eloquently combines the period it was built with our current modern-day living. The property in the past worked well for families, empty nesters, and young couples. Truly one of Park Hill's most refined.
