A rare opportunity to own a true Denver Victorian in one of the city’s most desirable, walkable locations—just steps from the Broadway entertainment district, downtown Denver, and the State Capitol. This historic residence blends preserved architectural detail with modern updates, offering timeless character and exceptional flexibility. From the moment you enter, the home makes a powerful first impression with a grand entrance foyer—a true statement space rarely found today—showcasing soaring ceilings, richly preserved original woodwork, a sweeping staircase, and stunning stained-glass windows that flood the home with filtered light. The foyer sets the tone for the craftsmanship throughout —details that speak to a level of historic quality simply impossible to replicate. The renovated kitchen honors the home’s period charm with custom cabinetry, Thermador appliances, soapstone countertops, and a rear staircase to the second level. The upper floors provide generous and flexible living spaces, including guest rooms ideal for offices or studies, a second-level loft area overlooking the foyer, a conveniently located laundry closet, and a stunning primary suite featuring dual fireplaces, a walk-in closet, and a private balcony. The third level adds even more versatility with additional rooms, a ¾ bath, and a front recreation space pre-wired for entertainment, plus west-facing mountain views—well-suited for conversion into a private rental or guest suite with minimal modification. Alternatively, the basement offers another strong income-producing option, with the ability to create a separate living area for rentals. Outdoors, enjoy a private brick and slate patio, garden beds, and a two-car garage. Rich in history and originally built for one of Colorado’s first city attorneys, this Victorian is unmatched in presence, location, and flexibility—ideal as a primary residence, investment property, or both, and a truly exceptional offering in the heart of Denver.
