About the property

Sprawling Corner Lot Bungalow — 4 Beds, Detached 2-Car Garage

1901 S Adams St is a genuine University Park bungalow with a rare commodity for Denver — space. Sitting on an oversized 8,920 sq ft corner lot, the single-story layout delivers comfortable living and strong options for the next owner. The home’s footprint (approx. 1,605 sq ft) includes four bedrooms and two full baths, arranged for easy circulation and private sleeping quarters away from shared living spaces.

The kitchen has been modernized with quartz countertops and comes equipped with a full appliance package (range, oven, microwave, dishwasher, disposal, refrigerator). Laminate floors run through the main areas, and an in-unit laundry adds everyday convenience. Outside, the property’s detached two-car garage and gravel driveway solve a perennial Denver problem: parking. The lot is irrigated by an in-ground sprinkler system and provides space for a large yard, garden beds, or future expansion subject to local permitting.

Location is a standout. The home borders the historic Buchtel Boulevard trail and is a short walk to the University of Denver, placing campus resources and cultural venues within easy reach. Two light rail stations are nearby, offering direct transit to Downtown Denver and the Tech Center — ideal for commuting or campus life. Wash Park, neighborhood cafes, and a variety of shops are just minutes away, giving you urban convenience with a calm residential block feel.

This property will appeal to those seeking a family residence with outdoor room, buyers who prize driveway and garage parking, and investors looking for a stable rental in a university-adjacent pocket. With immediate functional value and upside through selective updates, 1901 S Adams St is a versatile offering in one of Denver’s most desirable south-city neighborhoods.

Tree-lined streets, mature landscaping and walking trails give the area a residential character while nearby University Boulevard and Evans Avenue supply restaurants, coffee shops and transit lines. Buyers in this neighborhood value proximity to campus, green space (Wash Park) and reliable access to Downtown.

Editorial market perspective

University Park and the DU corridor remain well-regarded pockets within the Denver metro. As of early 2026, demand for single-family homes within walking distance of DU and Wash Park remains steady; inventory has crept up from post-pandemic lows, but homes with strong location attributes (large lots, dedicated parking, proximity to transit) continue to trade competitively. Median sale price in the immediate area is higher than the city average — expect shorter market time for move-in-ready or thoughtfully updated homes, and stronger buyer interest from both owner-occupants and investors seeking university-related rentals. Given the home’s acreage, garage and access to transit, this listing is competitively positioned to capture both local buyers and investors.
