3545 N Adams Street, Denver, CO 80205
A 1951 single-level cottage in Clayton with an open kitchen, a separate family room with a wood-burning fireplace, and a two-car detached garage off the alley – all for $409,000 with no HOA.
A white stucco cottage on a shaded Clayton block, 3545 N Adams Street was built in 1951 and has been maintained and updated where it counts. Mature trees arch over the front of the house, and a covered porch with room for a bench sits just off the walk. The soft green front door and its iron security screen add a little color against the white stucco.
Inside, the layout is open and entirely on one level. The kitchen anchors the middle of the home, with painted cabinetry, a white subway tile backsplash, laminate counters, a double stainless sink, and a stainless range and microwave. It opens directly to the main living and dining space, where there’s room for a full table. Windows on two sides keep the space bright through the day.
Past the kitchen, a separate family room changes what this floor plan can do. Paneling runs floor to ceiling, a wood-burning brick fireplace with a lovely mantel is a great focal point, and a wide picture window looks out over the backyard. Most homes at this square footage give you one room to do everything; this one gives you two, so a television room and a dining room don’t have to be the same place.
No HOA, no metro district, and low carrying costs.
City Park, the Denver Zoo, and the RiNo Art District all nearby.
The two bedrooms sit on the opposite side of the plan, off a short hall with the full bath. Both have ceiling fans, luxury vinyl plank flooring, and two windows. The bath is finished in a rose tile that runs up the tub surround and around a window set into the shower wall, paired with an updated vanity and fixtures. There is no carpet anywhere in the house – LVP and tile throughout.
The laundry sits in the kitchen area with the washer and dryer included, so there is no trip downstairs and no closet to squeeze into. Outside, the 5,370-square-foot lot is fenced and low-maintenance, with a covered patio in the backyard, garden beds along the fence line, and room to plant. A two-car detached garage sits at the back of the lot with alley access, which is a fantastic amenity in this area.
Practical notes: forced-air heat, room air conditioning, ceiling fans in the bedrooms, composition roof, frame construction, and a 962-square-foot single-level floor plan with no interior stairs. There is no HOA and no metro district, and 2025 taxes were $2,173.
Clayton puts you between City Park and the A Line, with the Denver Zoo, the Museum of Nature & Science, and the RiNo Art District all a few minutes out, and I-70 and downtown close in either direction.

Broker Associate
“Real estate is an exciting field because it’s an area where being average doesn’t cut it. You really must excel. Most agents only do a handful of transactions each year. To be successful, you have to be more than twice as busy as average agents. To be that busy, you have to provide exceptional service to every client.”
Photos, videos, and floor plans are helpful, but there’s no substitute for walking through the home yourself.
