2000 E 21st Ave is a restored 1953 mid-century modern ranch home in Denver, Colorado, with roughly 4,000 square feet of living space on a 10,500 square foot xeriscaped corner lot.

Question 2

Where is 2000 E 21st Ave located?

Accepted Answer

The home sits on a corner lot in park-adjacent City Park West (ZIP 80205), two blocks from City Park, with a low-stress bike route to downtown Denver.

Question 3

Is 2000 E 21st Ave a mid-century modern home?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Built in 1953, the home carries original mid-century modern character — sharp geometry, walnut wood accents, expansive windows, and period tile — preserved and restored rather than remodeled away.

Question 4

What makes this home unusual for central Denver?

Accepted Answer

The combination: a turnkey mid-century modern ranch by a verifiable architect, in park-adjacent City Park West, on a large xeriscaped corner lot on a quiet interior-facing corner, with single-level main living and a basement apartment. Each element exists elsewhere in Denver; finding them together is what is rare.

Question 5

Does the layout support multi-generational living?

Accepted Answer

The layout is suited to multi-generational living or an au pair arrangement: a main level with a primary suite, a roughly 900 square foot basement apartment with its own kitchen, bathroom, and laundry, and a flexible lower-level room with a mini bar.

Question 6

How close is the home to City Park?

Accepted Answer

City Park — Denver's largest park, with lakes, trails, the Denver Zoo, and the Denver Museum of Nature & Science — is two blocks from the front door.

Question 7

What updates have been made to the home?

Accepted Answer

Major systems have been modernized, kitchens and baths renovated, and the landscape converted to a mature xeriscape with drip irrigation, while the original 1953 architectural character was preserved.

Question 8

Can the home be used as a short-term rental?

Accepted Answer

Rental use is subject to Denver licensing and zoning rules. The lower-level apartment with separate kitchen and laundry may support rental strategies; the site's short-term rental guides cover Denver's framework.

Question 9

Is the yard xeriscaped?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The 10,500 square foot corner lot is a mature, water-wise xeriscape garden with drip irrigation, pollinator plantings, a covered sitting area, a gas fire pit, and a water fountain.
