    What's special

    New price + $20K seller concession. This iconic 1886 Queen Anne Victorian near Cheesman Park offers something rarely found in central Denver: over 4,000 finished sq ft, preserved historic character, major recent improvements, and a fully separate private-entry garden-level residence. Original stained glass, intricate millwork, pocket doors, fireplace tile surrounds, hardwood floors, and a signature corner turret give the home the timeless character buyers want in a true Denver historic property, while thoughtful updates make it livable for today. The private garden-level residence includes its own entrance, full kitchen, 1 bedroom, and 1 bathroom, creating flexible space for multigenerational living, an au pair, long-term guests, work-from-home needs, or optional rental income. Depending on use, the space has offered income potential of up to approximately $5,000/month. The main home features formal and informal living spaces, a custom kitchen with premium appliances, 5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, and a spa-inspired primary suite with a fully customized bath and shower. With multiple levels of living, the home provides rare flexibility for everyday life, entertaining, guests, or separate work and living zones. Recent major improvements include a newer roof, gutters, skylights, and a fully replaced sewer line — valuable peace of mind in a historic home. A detached garage, smart home features, and lush outdoor spaces complete the property. Just steps from Cheesman Park and a short distance to Cherry Creek, this home combines historic architecture, rare scale, modern livability, and income-flexible living in one of Denver’s most beloved neighborhoods. Assumable 2.25% VA loan for veterans with VA entitlement. Listing Agent has ownership interest in the home.
