1419 Ford Street, Golden, CO 80401

This 1800s Victorian in the E Street Historic District has been part of Golden's story for over a century, and it's ready for someone to write its next chapter — but be clear-eyed going in: this is a renovation project, not a turnkey home. The floors slope, and a structural bid is available on-site for review at your showing. Original stained-glass front door — transom window, hardware, and all! Original hardwood floors run throughout and would shine with a refinish, and era-appropriate high ceilings carry through two bedrooms and a bath in the classic Victorian footprint. A vaulted kitchen addition with exposed beams and brick adds unexpected warmth to the historic bones. The uneven stairway down leads to a basement with five-foot ceilings — low, but full of potential for storage or a workshop. Outside, a fenced yard with period fencing and a small greenhouse offers a head start on a garden, a carriage house/shed adds extra storage, and a driveway provides off-street parking — genuinely rare in this neighborhood. Where this home really shines is what it can become. Zoned R3 in a historic district with strong neighborhood support for high-dollar renovation and addition projects, this property has real flexibility: multi-family use, an ADU, or a substantial single-family renovation are all on the table for the right buyer. (Golden allows short-term rentals with a permit if it's your primary residence.) The location does a lot of the work for you: near Washington Avenue's shops and restaurants, the Clear Creek Walkway, the Golden Mill food hall, and Parfet Park, with the School of Mines and downtown Golden just around the corner. This is a project for a buyer who wants a historic property with development upside and is prepared for the work that comes with it; structural repairs, cosmetic updates, a real investment of time and budget. Priced and positioned accordingly. Grants may be available with restoration please contact Golden Historic Preservation.
