Also, on the first level, a secondary space features built-in cabinetry and access to another storage area with a utility sink and mechanical room. A back door leads to the private gated parking area, which can accommodate four or more vehicles in tandem.
The second level is ideal for an office, creative studio, or live/work scenario. The space offers a full kitchen with gorgeous modern cabinetry and updated appliances, a beautiful common area, two private office spaces or bedrooms, a bathroom with walk-in shower, a washer and dryer, and plenty of storage. Off the kitchen, a large rooftop area with sweeping views of downtown Denver is primed to be an incredible outdoor living space with a recently installed safety railing.

Welcome to the Art District on Santa Fe
The Santa Fe Drive corridor stretches from Alameda Avenue to the north, 13th Avenue to the south, and Kalamath to Inca from west to east. The area is a vibrant destination within Denver, comprised of a unique mix of art galleries, independent shops and retail, bars and restaurants, theaters, offices, cultural institutions, and residential developments.
Artists, designers, and creative enterprises live and work in the area. Santa Fe Drive also connects residents to essential neighborhood amenities and destinations, including parks, schools, cultural facilities, employment, and transit stops and stations.
The arts scene makes it a popular destination, particularly on First Fridays — a celebration of the arts with open galleries and large groups of people wandering in and out of galleries and restaurants on foot along the corridor.
Santa Fe is also a vital corridor within the Denver transportation network, providing access to downtown, the Auraria Campus, La Alma/Lincoln Park, and surrounding neighborhoods via US-6 and I-25. It is a critical link between downtown, 6th and 8th Avenues, and I-25, providing connections for people in the surrounding neighborhoods and the greater Denver community.
