Updated 2-Bed Townhome with Private Courtyard & Detached Garage
Step into a smartly updated two-story townhome that blends period character with modern conveniences. This 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath residence (1,156 SF) opens from a private, fenced courtyard finished in brick pavers — an intimate outdoor room shaded by a mature tree that's perfect for drinks, a grill, or morning coffee. Inside, the main living area is defined by an exposed brick accent wall and a wood-burning fireplace equipped with an electric insert for easier, cleaner operation. Luxury vinyl plank flooring runs throughout the main level for durability and a contemporary look.
The kitchen and dining nook flow naturally from the living room and include ample cabinet storage and sight lines to the courtyard. A convenient powder room and stacked laundry area on the main level add everyday practicality. Skylights over the stairwell brighten the upper floor, where the primary bedroom features a second exposed brick wall, a working fireplace, and a Juliet balcony rebuilt in 2025 — a charming detail that brings fresh air and a street view. The upstairs full bath comfortably serves the second bedroom and guests.
Mechanicals have been thoughtfully maintained: a new furnace was installed in 2021, the chimney has been cleaned and sealed, and the washer/dryer are newer units. A detached one-car garage provides secure parking and storage — a notable plus for townhouse living in Denver. The complex sits among mature trees and established single-family homes, with the unit entrance facing a communal grassy area for a quieter, suburban feel.
Location is practical and desirable: easy access to Lowry amenities, convenient commutes to the Denver Tech Center and downtown, and within the area described as served by Cherry Creek School District (please verify exact school assignment). For buyers seeking a turn-key in-town home with outdoor privacy and character, this unit is rare: updated systems, meaningful outdoor space, and a garage make it a standout in this price band.

A factual market snapshot around 1253 S Yosemite Way #96.
This property sits in a stable southeast Denver pocket where townhomes and condos are in steady demand. Through early 2026 the metro market has balanced after recent rate-driven cooling: buyers continue to favor well-located, updated smaller product with private outdoor space and parking. At the listed $310,000 (≈$268–$270/sf) this unit competes strongly against similar 2-bed townhomes in the Lowry/Hampden corridor, particularly because detached garages and private courtyards are limited. Inventory in sought-after micro-markets remains lean, which favors sellers who price in line with condition and amenities. Investors will note a rent band consistent with a healthy gross yield; owner-occupiers will appreciate the Cherry Creek school claim and proximity to Lowry/DTC. Verify school assignments and HOA details to fully capitalize on the property’s premium attributes.
