Discover the remarkable Lumber Baron Inn, an iconic 1890 Victorian mansion situated on a 14,000 sq. ft. corner lot in Denver’s historic Potter Highlands neighborhood. Rich in architectural character and restored to reflect its original design, this ±9,700 sq. ft. property features five en-suite bedrooms, multiple formal living and dining spaces, and a commercial-grade kitchen, offering extraordinary versatility for residential, hospitality, or mixed-use living.
The home includes a spacious third-floor ballroom with private restrooms—perfect for events, retreats, studio uses, or creative redevelopment. The garden-level offers a fully functional owner’s apartment, ideal for live-work, on-site management, or private guest accommodations. Outdoors, the property provides mature landscaping, serene gardens, and expansive hardscaped areas suitable for gatherings or everyday enjoyment.
Zoned PUD, the property allows lodging, social activities, and private functions for a fee, but can also be reimagined as a single-family residence, boutique inn, corporate retreat, creative residential compound, or other custom lifestyle concept. Located within the historic Potter Highlands district, the home sits among tree-lined streets, landmark properties, and walkable neighborhood amenities, yet remains just minutes from Downtown Denver.
This is a rare opportunity for a buyer who wants to operate a B&B/event venue, create a signature live-work estate, or reposition this architectural treasure back into a grand residential home.
