Property Description

Own a piece of Denver history and offset your mortgage with $4K–$5.2K/month in built-in income. $20K seller concession offered — perfect for rate buy-down, closing costs, or upgrades. Steps from Cheesman Park & short walk to Cherry Creek, this stunning 1886 Victorian wows with its iconic corner turret & rich original architectural details blending historic charm with modern luxury in one of Denver’s most desirable neighborhoods. The standout private-entry garden-level 1-bed, 1-bath apartment (with full kitchen) delivers strong income—approximately $4K–$5.2K/month ($45K–$63K/year) depending on use and leasing strategy. Perfect for an au pair, in-laws, multigenerational living, or savvy house hacking that offsets your mortgage while keeping everyone comfortably close yet independent. Zoning allows for a potential 3rd unit, adding long-term upside. Spanning 4,052 sq ft across 4 levels, the home offers 5 bedrooms & 4 bathrooms with exceptional flexibility for extended family or investors. Timeless original details—rich hardwood floors, intricate trim, pocket doors, & 3 fireplaces with original tile—shine alongside a gourmet kitchen featuring Viking & Kenmore Elite appliances, a spa-like primary bath, and attic media room complete with bar. Outdoor living is magic: a welcoming front porch for peaceful mornings, a sunset & Denver skyline-facing second-story back deck for unforgettable evenings, a private yard, & a 2.5-car detached garage with future rooftop deck potential. Beautifully restored & flooded with natural light, this true sanctuary honors its heritage while delivering the warm, inviting lifestyle you’ve been dreaming of. Perfectly positioned on a quiet, tree-lined block, this is a rare opportunity to own a legacy property that lives as beautifully as it performs. The main home has historically rented for $6,250–$6,500/month furnished—creating ~$10K–$12K/month in total income when combined with the ADU. Listing Agent has ownership in home.
