Updated Berkeley Bungalow — 2 Beds, Heated Porch & 2-Car Garage
This Berkeley bungalow pairs period charm with thoughtful, whole-house upgrades. Built in 1924 and lovingly updated, the home opens to a heated enclosed front porch that functions as an office, play room or extra sitting area year-round. Inside, classic bungalow features—like the tile-surround fireplace—frame the living room, while a sunny south-facing dining area provides flexible space for hosting. The kitchen is a standout: extra-tall cabinetry, leathered counters and high-quality Samsung appliances give the space a contemporary, durable feel while honoring the home's scale. A mudroom off the kitchen leads to the rear patio and Trex deck with custom metalwork—perfect for grilling or container gardening.
The primary bedroom features a generous cedar-lined closet with double doors; the second bedroom steps directly onto the rear deck, extending indoor-outdoor living. The updated full bathroom includes a reeded-glass door and well-thought storage; an extra linen closet in the hall adds convenience. The half-basement contains utilities, included Samsung washer/dryer, and garden-level windows that bring natural light and simplify future finishing or conversion, subject to permits.
Systems have been extensively addressed: the seller reports full replumbing, a new HVAC system with furnace and central A/C, new double-pane windows and added insulation in exterior walls and attic. Those investments reduce short-term maintenance needs and support energy efficiency. A large two-car detached garage with alley access provides rare vehicle and storage value for central-North Denver.
Located steps from the shops and restaurants clustered along Tennyson Street and a short ride to Sloan's Lake, this home is ideal for buyers seeking a move-in-ready historic with modern comforts. Public open house scheduled — contact listing agent John Wyszynski for showings and details.

A factual market snapshot around 4908 N Raleigh St.
Berkeley and adjacent north-west Denver neighborhoods continue to outperform many Denver submarkets for renovated single-family homes. Inventory remains constrained for well-updated bungalows close to parks and retail corridors, producing faster sales and strong buyer competition. Median sale prices in the immediate area are commonly above the broader Denver median; renovated 2BR bungalows frequently trade at a premium because of limited supply. Current conditions favor sellers of turnkey properties but still reward buyers who move quickly with clean offers. For investors, rental demand in this pocket is steady, driven by proximity to downtown, transit options, and recreational assets like Sloan's Lake.
Likely single-family residential zoning typical of Berkeley (may be R-2 or comparable Denver residential code); buyer should verify with city zoning maps.
