There are a lot of renovated homes for sale in Denver.
The harder question is: how much of the renovation goes beyond what you can see in the listing photos?
At 2795 W 39th Avenue in Sunnyside, the answer is quite a bit.
This 1942 Denver home has been fully remodeled and permitted, while keeping some of the original character that makes older northwest Denver homes so appealing.
The result is a three-bedroom, two-bath home with 1,594 finished square feet, a 6,400-square-foot corner lot, garage, fenced backyard and a long list of improvements that go well beyond paint and countertops.
The Expensive Work Is Already Done
One of the biggest differences between this home and a purely cosmetic renovation is the amount of work that went into the systems and exterior.
The renovation includes:
New Class 4 shingle roof
New gutters
New windows
New furnace
New air conditioning
New water heater
New fence
New sod and landscaping
New concrete flatwork
And the remodel was fully permitted.
Those aren’t necessarily the things that grab your attention first on Zillow, but they can make a major difference when you’re buying an older Denver home.
Instead of walking into a beautifully finished house and immediately wondering when the roof, HVAC or windows will need attention, many of those larger projects have already been addressed.
A Kitchen Designed to Feel Like It Belongs Here
The kitchen was designed to feel elevated without turning the house into something completely disconnected from its original character.
A panel-ready KitchenAid refrigerator blends into the cabinetry, while a 36-inch oversized gas range gives the kitchen a true focal point and considerably more cooking space than you typically find in a bungalow of this era.
The goal wasn’t simply to make the kitchen look good in photographs.
It was to create a space that feels integrated into the house and is genuinely enjoyable to use every day.
Vintage-Modern Details
Throughout the renovation, the design leans into what Katie describes as a vintage-modern feel.
One of the best examples is in the bathroom, where handmade zellige tile adds texture and variation rather than the perfectly uniform finish you see in so many newer renovations.
At the same time, the home retains its original hardwood floors.
Those original materials matter.
Rather than stripping away every sign of the home’s history, the renovation keeps some of the warmth and character of a classic Denver bungalow and layers modern finishes and systems around it.
A Layout That Gives You Flexibility
The home has two bedrooms on the main level along with the primary living spaces.
The finished lower level adds another bedroom, bathroom and additional living area.
That extra space can easily become a guest suite, home office, workout room, media room or simply a second place to spread out.
For buyers who like northwest Denver but don’t want the vertical layout of a newer townhome, this kind of bungalow configuration can be especially appealing.
A Real Yard in the City
The house sits on a 6,400-square-foot corner lot, giving it significantly more outdoor space than many newer homes in the area.
The new fence, sod and flatwork help turn the backyard into actual usable living space rather than another project waiting for the next owner.
There’s room to entertain, garden, let the dog out or simply have some separation from your neighbors while still being in the middle of Sunnyside.
Two Blocks From The Universal
Location is a big part of the appeal here, too.
2795 W 39th sits just two blocks from The Universal, one of Sunnyside’s longtime neighborhood breakfast spots.
That puts you within easy reach of the restaurants, coffee shops and businesses that make northwest Denver so appealing, without giving up the residential feel of the surrounding blocks.
It’s one of the things people love about Sunnyside: you can live in a classic brick bungalow with a yard and still walk out the door and feel connected to the neighborhood.
The Bigger Picture
What makes 2795 W 39th interesting isn’t simply that it has been remodeled.
It’s the combination.
A classic Denver bungalow.
Original hardwood floors.
A thoughtfully designed kitchen.
Handmade tile.
A real yard.
A corner lot.
And major systems that have already been replaced.
For buyers who want the charm of an older Sunnyside home but would rather spend their weekends enjoying the neighborhood than working through a renovation list, this one deserves a closer look.
