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.

Welcome to life in LoHi! This beautiful 2 bed PLUS office townhome is just blocks from all the best that the Highlands have to offer - local theater, food and drink, galleries and so much more. Come home to Navajo Street, park in your insulated 2 car garage, and then walk up to your bright and spacious main level, which features a true entertainer's kitchen. You can gather your loved ones around the oversized island while you create something delicious, then set a table in the adjacent dining area with a gorgeous meal or a fun board game. There's a great, dedicated office space just off the kitchen, as well as a powder room for your guests. The large living area gives you ample room for the big squashy couch you've always dreamed of, where you can enjoy a movie or a book in front of your fireplace with the flip of a switch. There's a small balcony as well where you can hook up a grill, or get some fresh air, but let's be honest... you're going upstairs for that. On your way up you'll pass two big bedrooms on the 2nd floor, both with modern bathrooms and well equipped closets. Now you arrive at what really makes this home special - the gigantic rooftop deck. The views are truly panoramic, encompassing the entire city skyline and even some of the mountains too. There's room to take in those views however you choose: from a dining table with friends, from a lounging area with a beverage, and yes, you could even add a hot tub if you want to enjoy those city lights under a night of falling snow. This low maintenance home doesn't even have a true HOA, just a low cost party wall agreement ($112/month) that covers your water, sewer and exterior electricity so you have fewer bills to keep track of. Life is lovely in LoHi, so take the opportunity to have a piece of it!

1-Year interest rate buy-down covered by qualified lender available as an added incentive on this home. Lower your payment in year one. Inquire for details. Mead's the kind of town that still feels like it's in on a secret — a small Weld County community minutes off I-25 that's grown fast without losing what made people move here in the first place. Six parks. Mead Ponds and Historic Highland Lake for an evening cast. A Fishing Derby every year, a Fall Festival, a chili cook-off that gets more competitive than it should. St. Vrain State Park ten minutes out. This is a town built around Saturday mornings outside, not traffic and noise. This home sits in Highlands Preserve, a short trip from downtown Mead and Town Park, with trails, a dog park, and playgrounds woven through the neighborhood — the kind of setup where you actually learn your neighbors' names. The house backs to open space, with the Front Range unfolding past the rooftops and a community park just down the street. Inside, luxury vinyl plank runs the whole main level — durable, no-fuss flooring built for real life. Kitchen, dining, and living room flow into each other under a wall of windows that pull the afternoon light straight through the house. A fourth bedroom lives on the main level too — guest space, home office, whatever you need it to be, no trip upstairs required. Head up and a central loft gives you a second living space — media room, office, extra room to spread out. Two more bedrooms share a full bath, and the laundry's up there too, because nobody wants to haul a basket up and down stairs every week. The primary suite looks straight out at the Front Range and comes with a full ensuite — dual vanities, tiled shower, the whole deal. Outback is a blank slate: a fully fenced yard framed by that same Front Range sky, ready for whatever you want to build into it — garden, fire pit, hammock, your call.
