A rare find in the heart of Five Points: two separate homes sharing one oversized, fully fenced lot, offering the kind of flexibility that's nearly impossible to come by this close to downtown. Live in the front and potentially Airbnb the back unit, or let a long-term tenant help offset the mortgage — the choice is yours. The front home is a beautifully updated 1-bedroom, 1-bath with a loft, converted and updated in 2020 with an eye toward the character of the surrounding block — right down to the roof, with everything in the home dating to that same 2020 update. The back home is a bright, charming 2-bedroom, 1-bath historic cottage, thoughtfully updated and meticulously maintained, set back off the street for extra privacy and paired with its own two-car garage; it's just as well cared for mechanically, with a 2026 furnace and air conditioning unit, a 2026 roof shared with the garage. Between the two, you get 1,422 square feet of well cared for living space and a genuinely unique setup. Outside, the shared yard is a standout in its own right — mature trees, a private half basketball court and workout area, and a fish pond turn the grounds into a real outdoor retreat, with plenty of room to entertain, garden, or just unwind. And with a Walk Score of 94 and a Bike Score of 96, you're minutes from RiNo, Downtown, Uptown, Curtis Park, and everything in between.
