5401 E Dakota Ave #3, Denver, CO 80246

This is not a remodel — it's a reimagining. Completed in 2023, 5401 E Dakota Ave #3 is a bold architectural statement in Denver’s Hilltop neighborhood, offering 5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms and approximately 3,922 finished square feet of living space. From the moment you approach the hand-forged steel front door, the home signals originality: a dramatic 30-foot hand-laid natural stone fireplace anchors the main living room, and custom forged-metal railings run throughout, marrying industrial strength with refined design.

Designed to host and to live comfortably, the main floor flows from a timeless kitchen — quartz counters, matte-black cabinetry, and premium appliances — into two distinct dining spaces and direct outdoor access to secluded patios. The living room’s soaring volume, integrated wet bar, and powder room create a memorable entertaining core. Sliding connections to the side and rear patios expand your footprint outdoors where mature trees and a fully-enclosed spa area provide privacy rarely found this close to Cherry Creek.

Downstairs, the fully finished basement delivers flexibility with two additional bedrooms and a secondary living area — ideal for guests, an extended family, or a home theater. The primary suite is a retreat: generous proportions, a five-piece bath and a two-person shower speak to the high-end finishes permeating the house. New wood floors on the main level, plush carpeting where comfort matters, efficient heating and cooling systems, and a replaced roof and stucco exterior complete the picture of a home where most heavy lifting has already been done.

Located steps from Hilltop’s tree-lined streets and minutes to Cherry Creek North, City Park, boutique shopping and sought-after private schools, this property is built for buyers who want a turnkey, architect-designed home without the wait. No HOA, immediate possession possible. Schedule a private showing to experience the scale and craftsmanship in person.

Hilltop is an established, tree-lined Denver neighborhood known for mid-century and contemporary houses, mature landscaping, and proximity to Cherry Creek and City Park. The area attracts families and professionals who value generous lots, access to private schools and boutique shopping, and a quiet urban character that’s still minutes from downtown.
