Enter into the original, charm-filled main floor formal living/dining rooms and you’re drawn into the elegant and spacious kitchen. Wood floors, 6-top Dacor gas range, double ovens with convection, slab granite and huge island make this a true gourmet kitchen.

The main floor master offers a retreat to relaxation. French doors lead to a charming deck and fill the room with sunlight. A large walk-in closet, private bath with dual vanity, steam shower and jetted tub, and en-suite laundry finish out the master suite. Additionally, the main floor offers a second bedroom and full bath.

Descending to the lower level, pause on the dramatic mid-level loft with a view to the charming yard and patio. The lower level offers a large family room, pool-room, a second laundry, 3rd bedroom and ¾ bath. The entrance to the attached, oversized garage with storage is through the family room.

This home was leased in October 2010 and is no longer on the market.

Seven 30 South – Restaurant for Romantics

My husband and I met on a blind date at Pour La France restaurant in Denver. We decided to meet in the Bonnie Brae neighborhood, nearby where I lived at the time. I was new to selling Denver real estate and some friends decided we should meet because we each had a 2-year-old son. I didn’t trust a man I didn’t know to pick me up at my house, so I made him meet me there at the restaurant located at 730 South University Boulevard.

We still visit the restaurant often even though it’s been renamed Seven 30 South.

A year and a half after we met, we went back to Pour La France and Mr. Right popped the question.

The waitress cried when she lifted up the plate and saw it there. He’d been busily drawing the entire time and I hadn’t paid any attention. It was sweet and romantic because he used the table crayons to make a chart with “Will You Marry Me? Check here: ________Yes _________No _________Maybe.”

I checked yes!

A few weeks ago, we strolled up to Seven 30 South to celebrate our wedding anniversary, and to reminisce about the years. The boys are now teenagers!

Seven 30 South is a terrific little neighborhood bistro with consistent food and service. You can order anything from a Southwest style salad to Chicken Pot Pie to a nice piece of grilled fish or Tuscan Beef Stew. In the summer they have an outdoor seating area that faces onto University Boulevard and the Bonnie Brae neighborhood center.

You may not want to go on a blind date, but you should still take someone special to Seven 30 South!
