Classic Denver character, reimagined for the way you live today. Set in the heart of San Rafael, this iconic Victorian pairs timeless architectural charm with thoughtful modern updates, creating a home that feels both distinctive and effortlessly livable. Inside, original character takes center stage. Soaring ceilings, large picture windows and gorgeous maple floors bring warmth and dimension to the main level, while fresh neutral paint and brand-new carpet give the home a crisp, updated feel. With 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, there’s room to live, work, gather and grow—all without sacrificing the charm that makes a classic Victorian so special.
The open, updated kitchen is designed to be both beautiful and functional, featuring custom cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless appliances, generous prep space and ample pantry storage. Upstairs, the massive primary suite feels like its own private retreat, complete with a sitting area and incredible views. Outside, the newly renovated, low-maintenance backyard creates a private urban escape—perfect for relaxing, entertaining or enjoying Colorado evenings without spending your weekends on yard work. Plus the rare 3-car garage is an almost unheard-of find in this part of the city. All of this in an incredible location close to neighborhood shops and dining, City Park, Downtown Denver, Saint Joseph Hospital and Presbyterian/St. Luke’s. Historic soul, modern comfort and an unbeatable location—this is Denver living with character.
