Elevated above a dreamy, tree-lined street in the heart of Capitol Hill, this charming 1900s residence seamlessly blends historic character with thoughtful modern updates. A grand foyer welcomes you with a show-stopping original wood staircase, setting the tone for the timeless elegance found throughout the home. The inviting living room welcomes you, centered around a cozy gas fireplace and opens to a sun-drenched bonus room-perfect for a home office or reading nook. The renovated kitchen shines with quartz countertops, brick backsplash, large island, and abundant natural light. Host intimate dinners al fresco with seamless indoor-outdoor flow from the eat-in kitchen to the expansive back deck.

Upstairs, the second level features three bedrooms and a full bath, including a flexible space that can serve as an additional family room or playroom. The top floor is reserved for a luxurious primary retreat, boasting a spa-like bath with steam shower, walk-in closet, stackable washer/dryer, and a serene seating area-perfect for morning coffee or winding down with a book. Combining architectural charm, modern convenience, and exceptional versatility-all just moments from Cheesman Park, the Denver Botanic Gardens, Denver Art Museum, and more-this home is a rare opportunity in a centrally located neighborhood surrounded by some of Denver's most iconic attractions.
