EXECUTIVE RENTAL The Downing House Apartment is a newly created 1400 sf apartment in an 1889 historic Queen Anne Victorian home in Capital Hill with very high ceilings and lots of windows and light. The original architect is F. E. Edbrooke, who was the architect of the Brown Palace Hotel and the Tabor Opera House, among other beautiful Colorado buildings. Here are some highlights: - BEDROOMS - Technically there are 3 bedrooms in the apartment, but there is also a 4th "Harry Potter" bedroom that children love. There are no closets or other clothing storage spaces in this small room with low ceilings, but it is lots of fun. Great for visiting kids, but not appropriate for long term adult stays. This room could be used for storage. There is also a sleeper sofa in the 1st floor living room. - OUTDOOR SPACE - There is a private 3rd floor deck on the West side of the house with an awesome view of the Denver skyline and of the Capital's gold dome. The deck has a dining table with an umbrella and 6 chairs. There are also 6 comfortable Adirondack chairs. The grounds, including the grill, are not part of the lease agreement, but the long term tenants who occupy the rest of the house may be willing to share their outdoor space and grill. -PARKING - There is a two car garage and ONE of the spaces is dedicated to the apartment tenants. There is also a large parking lot behind the home and spaces can be rented there monthly for $50. If you have a large truck or SUV you cannot park in the garage because although it is a 2 car garage, it is on the small side. - BATHROOMS - One bathroom has a very comfortable claw foot tub for soaking along with an attached shower. The 2nd bathroom has an extra large shower. - KITCHEN - all new eat-in kitchen is extremely bright. The kitchen is compact but has everything you need including new stainless steel appliances and a full size washer and dryer. - 2 FAMILY ROOMS - there is a family room on each floor. Both family rooms have large, flat screen televisions. There is no extra fee for the Wi-Fi that is shared with the long term tenants in the rest of the house. - UTILITIES - All utilities are included in the rental price. We have new solar panels for energy efficiency, along with a European mini-split HVAC system for mostly zoned cooling and heating. - SMOKING is allowed on the deck and other outdoor areas, and we are marijuana tolerant, but smoking is strictly prohibited inside the apartment. A large fine will be imposed for smoke odors inside the home. - LAUNDRY - Full size washer and dryer is located in the kitchen. - LOCATION - Wonderful Capital Hill location - close to everything the city has to offer including coffee shops, great restaurants and bars (on 14th, Colfax, 17th Avenue, Downtown, Uptown, as well as all the areas in between!), parks, museums, the Zoo, the Botanic Gardens, etc., etc., etc. Lyfts, Ubers, cabs and scooters are all readily available if you would rather ride that walk - but there is plenty to walk to as well. - PETS - Cats are not allowed, but dogs may be allowed depending on the particular dog and the situation. A pet deposit may be required. - SECURITY / SAFETY - our home is an urban oasis so we take security seriously (although we've never had any problems such as a break-in). But being urban, we are cautious. The yard, starting at the front of the house, is completely surrounded by 6 foot fencing or walls with locked gates. You will have access to all the gate codes so you will be able to come and go as you please. Also, the apartment construction was built with Denver permitting so safety codes were followed and we have all new hard wired carbon monoxide and fire alarms. There is a First Aid Kit located in the 1st Floor Bathroom. - NOISE - Although this is a fun area and people who live in the area like to socialize, many of the neighbors also work, so please be respectful and quiet after 10 pm. Intimate parties and events are okay, but large large, noisy gatherings are prohibited. Please note there is a Ramada in across the street for extra guests. - MANAGER NEARBY - The owner/manager lives 10 minutes away, so if you have any problems, they will be taken care of as soon as possible. Our goal is for you to have a good experience at the Downing House, whether you are in Denver for work or play! - STAIRWAYS - Please note there are 3 sets of stairways in the apartment so we are not wheelchair accessible, and small children must be monitored. - A 30-day lease costs $3500 and a lease agreement needs to be executed (the 30 days is not necessarily per calendar month). Every 2 weeks the housekeeper will come and clean, including changing sheets and towels. Tenant pays the housekeeper $180 for each cleaning - this extra $360 per month will be paid, along with the rent payment, directly to the owner by personal check or credit card charge (Visa and Mastercard accepted). - Short Term Rentals of less than 30 days are possible (2 days is the minimum). In addition to an extra short term rental tax fee of 16%, along with the $180 cleaning fee, the short term rental rates are $1350 a week; $375 per weekend day; and $290 for each week day. - One space of parking is provided in the garage, but only for medium to small cars (it is a smaller 2 car garage). Any damage done to other cars in the garage will be deducted from the deposit. - A space in the parking lot behind the home may be rented for $50 per month (calendar months only - no prorating of months allowed), so if you have a large truck, SUV or car, please rent a space there.
