612 Harrison Street is one of very few standalone houses currently listed under $1,000,000 in Congress Park, offering a rare opportunity and excellent value in one of Denver’s best neighborhoods. This sturdy 100-year-old Craftsman-style brick home features incredible character and thoughtful updates throughout its 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. A side door still marks the original coal chute, but the home now enjoys modern central heat. The front yard has been fully redesigned with no-maintenance xeriscaping, including four “conversation boulders” flanking the walkway, leading to a covered west-facing porch perfect for sunset views and into a freshly painted interior. The living room showcases an original brick fireplace, built-in shelves, period windows, and new recessed lighting, while two main-level bedrooms connect via a Jack-and-Jill bathroom with a glass-door shower; the dining area offers built-in storage, and the updated kitchen includes brand-new floors, slab granite counters, an eat-in wood counter, stainless appliances, a Sub-Zero refrigerator, and ample cabinet space. The finished basement adds significant living space with two hardwood-floor bedrooms (one with a fireplace), both with new egress windows, plus a full bathroom, laundry/utility room, and multiple closets. Outside, the enclosed backyard features a stone patio with market lights ideal for BBQs, new low-maintenance gravel landscaping, two sod grass areas on timed sprinklers, and a storage shed with a lawnmower, while a large brick 2-car garage (insulated, powered, with direct sewer access) offers workshop potential or ADU conversion possibilities, plus two additional off-street parking spaces. Located on the edge of Congress Park near 6th & Colorado, you’re less than one block from 7th Avenue Parkway, a 3.5-minute walk to Snooze Café, and just 5 minutes to Trader Joe’s, making this freshly updated, move-in-ready home a true gem in a wonderful, walkable community.
