Rare 1.25-Acre Infill Lot with 1927 Bungalow — Renovate or Redevelop
This property is one of the most unusual inner-city opportunities we see — a substantial 1.25-acre parcel improved with a 1927 Craftsman-style bungalow that combines original character with everyday livability. The 2,716 SF home offers three bedrooms and two bathrooms, an updated farmhouse-style kitchen with new appliances, solid wood and tile floors, and a back porch/mudroom that’s perfectly scaled for daily use. Mature trees and an expansive rear yard create privacy and multiple outdoor rooms — a true urban homestead potential.
The lot’s natural downslope to the rear is a strategic asset: it makes walkout-basement floorplans straightforward and supports the listing’s referenced subdivision concepts (buyer to verify with City of Denver). The existing improvements are comfortable to occupy and can be incrementally upgraded while you pursue longer-term plans. Practical systems are in place: public water and sewer, natural gas and electricity connected. Off-street parking is provided by a gravel drive and a one-car garage.
Location is convenient to major corridors and amenities: short drives to Federal Blvd and Santa Fe dining/retail, quick access to US-285, and recreational access to the South Platte River trail network. Nearby redevelopment activity (including the Loretto Heights projects) is increasing investor attention in this southern Denver corridor, enhancing long-term upside for strategic buyers.
Whether you’re an owner who wants a generous private yard inside the city, an investor seeking rental or flip potential, or a builder exploring lot-split economics, this property warrants serious due diligence. Schedule an appointment to tour and discuss a strategy — the parcel size and configuration make this a rare opportunity within Denver limits.

This section of south Denver blends older single-family neighborhoods with pockets of new development and commercial corridors. Streets are framed by mature trees and many homes reflect early-20th-century architectural styles. The area is practical for drivers (close to US-285 and Federal Blvd) and increasingly attractive to buyers looking for larger lots and redevelopment opportunities near the city. Recreational options include nearby river trails and community parks; new projects such as Loretto Heights are adding long-term momentum.
Good access to South Platte River trails and neighborhood parks; large private yard supports gardening, orchard, or private recreation.
A factual market snapshot around 2954 S Bryant St.
Southern Denver has shown steady interest from both owner-occupants and investors. Median prices for single-family homes in the broader south-Denver corridors have been more moderate than central neighborhoods but demand for large lots and homes with development potential remains high. Inventory has stabilized from earlier tight conditions; median sale prices have grown modestly (low single-digit year-over-year as of early 2026) while properties with unique land attributes continue to trade at a premium. For a buyer focused on upside, this listing is attractive because lot scarcity inside Denver increases feasibility for subdivision or high-value new construction once approvals are secured. Pricing at $720,000 aligns with the home's usable condition today and reflects the embedded land value relative to area comparables.
Likely single-family or low-density residential zoning; listing references subdivision potential into multiple lots subject to municipal approvals.
