Timeless Architecture + Distinctive Location. This home’s undeniable sense of place is reflected in its Colonial design, brick and limestone construction, Ludowici tile roof and connection with its surroundings. Steps from Cheesman Park and Botanic Gardens amidst Denver’s finest historic homes, the location is magical. Designed in 1917 by local architects Varian and Varian, the home has a colorful history that began during Denver’s City Beautiful Movement. Built for the Founder of Denver Tramway Co, whose wife was head of Denver’s Boston Terriers Club (note the backyard kennel), it was later owned by a Catholic Archbishop. The classic floor plan features a stunning staircase, gorgeous living room with wood burning fireplace, pretty sunroom, walnut paneled library with secret doors, kitchen with island, breakfast nook and butler’s pantry and dining room with original built-in cabinetry and a historic surprise. The main house has a total of 6 bedrooms, including a renovated primary suite with huge closet, 5-piece bath and private sitting room. The enormous basement has been recently remodeled and includes an exercise room, TV room, wet bar, ping pong/billiards area, mudroom, laundry, walk-in vault and garden room. Enjoy hi velocity central air conditioning throughout most of the main house. Over the three car garage is a carriage house originally designed to house the chauffer – complete with two bedrooms, a kitchenette and a renovated full bathroom. The home and carriage house offer an abundance of storage space. The yard is nothing short of spectacular with its beautifully designed English gardens, original Summer House and west facing covered porch. Stroll to Cheesman Park, Denver Botanic Gardens and so close to Cherry Creek North and downtown Denver. Come take a look!
