    What's special

    For more than 30 years, this home has been the backdrop for holidays, celebrations, neighborhood gatherings, and everyday moments, and it's easy to understand why. Built in 1909, this beautifully maintained home showcases the craftsmanship and character that define Denver's historic homes. Original millwork, leaded and stained glass, French doors, built-ins, fireplaces, and beautifully proportioned rooms reflect the quality of another era, while thoughtful improvements allow it to live just as comfortably today without compromising its original character. One of the home's greatest strengths is how well it lives. The living room, dining room, sunroom, and kitchen each have their own character, offering a sense of separation without ever feeling disconnected. Together, they create a layout equally suited for gathering with friends, working from home, or enjoying a quiet evening by the fire. With more than 6,000 finished square feet, six bedrooms, five bathrooms, a finished third floor, finished basement, and generous storage, the home offers a level of comfort and flexibility that's uncommon in a home of this era. Outside, a welcoming covered front porch, private backyard patio, second-floor balcony, and beautifully established gardens extend the living space outdoors. Mature landscaping, ample outdoor living spaces, and a flourishing fruit and vegetable garden create an outdoor setting that's every bit as welcoming as the home itself. Ideally located just minutes from Cheesman Park, Cherry Creek, Wash Park, Downtown, neighborhood restaurants, cafes, and shopping, you'll enjoy easy access to some of Denver's favorite destinations while coming home to a beautiful, tree-lined historic street. After more than three decades with the same family, it's easy to appreciate the care that's gone into every chapter of this home. Improvements have been made with an eye toward preserving its character while ensuring it remained a wonderful place to live.
