This Historic Brownstone, with sandstone entry & double walnut doors, represents a gentler past, when horsepower still referred to horses & a person's home was truly a castle. Stunning original mantel w/ Vermont castings, gas fireplace, stained glass windows, & (once operating) pocket doors, give grace & warmth to the entry & living room. You will fall in love with the dramatic sweeping staircase leading to the kitchen, featuring pickled ash cabinets & access to the 2nd floor deck, showcasing a panoramic view of Downtown Denver, the Aquarium, Pepsi Center, Elitche’s, Maroon Bells, & the front range. The "Cat Walk" w/ (once gleaming) hardwood floors & original casement windows, leads you to the primary bedroom, highlighted by original cobalt blue, half-moon glass, accent windows, cozy fireplace with floor-to-ceiling bookcases & a walk-in cedar closet with balcony. The primary bath, appointed w/ Italian marble floor, plantation shutters, double vanity w/ recessed lighting, corian counter top, & period style sinks w/ brass fixtures. Over the years, this magnificent residence has been updated with a commitment not to compromise the ambiance of a time of gracious living which included a 3-story dumb waiter & transom window. We are fortunate that this treasured residence is located on Stonemen's Row in the Denver Historic District which will protect it from demolition. Without doubt, this one-of-a-kind opportunity is waiting for someone who appreciates the value of owning an Historic property and wants to return this grand old lady into the showpiece she once was.
