A special piece of Congress Park history is ready to begin its next chapter.
Built in 1942 by the original owner, 1040 Cook Street has been part of the same family’s story for generations. Thoughtfully built by hand, the home reflects the character and craftsmanship of its era and the life that unfolded within its walls. The vaulted wood great room addition is a particularly memorable space, featuring a stone fireplace with stones personally collected by family members over the years. Throughout the home, small details offer glimpses into the memories made here.
Today, the property is being offered **AS-IS, in its current condition**, creating an opportunity to bring a new vision to this established Congress Park location. **Visible cracking and potential structural/foundation concerns have been observed; no professional structural assessment has been completed by the seller. Buyers are encouraged to conduct all inspections and due diligence they deem necessary.**
Situated on a nearly 4,900-square-foot lot, the property offers an opportunity to explore renovation, redevelopment, or a future custom-home concept, subject to buyer due diligence, zoning, permitting, and applicable regulations.
The location is exceptional, with convenient access to Congress Park, Cheesman Park, the Denver Botanic Gardens, Cherry Creek, Colorado Boulevard, neighborhood shops and restaurants, Trader Joe’s, major medical centers, and downtown Denver. East High School and other central Denver amenities are also nearby.
For those looking for a property with history, land, and an outstanding central Denver location, 1040 Cook Street offers the opportunity to honor what has been while imagining what comes next.
