Step back into Denver’s golden era—circa 1907—the same year City Council officially renamed the park on Capitol Hill to Cheesman Park, making it a blossoming centerpiece of the city. During this vibrant time, the iconic Denver Square took hold, and 1311 Lafayette Street was thoughtfully crafted, showcasing a striking front-facing gable and distinctive fishscale shingle detailing. Inside, the home is a rare preservation of history, where original craftsmanship remains beautifully intact. Stained glass accents, stately pocket doors, intricate Victorian millwork, and leaded glass windows create a warm, soulful atmosphere that feels both timeless and inviting. These historic elements have been carefully restored and paired with era-conscious modern updates, resulting in a seamless blend of character and comfort. The spacious layout offers an easy, natural flow, ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen is designed with both function and style in mind, featuring high-end JennAir appliances and a layout that makes cooking a pleasure. A dedicated office provides the perfect remote work retreat, complete with an original built-in bookshelf and an ornate fireplace that inspires focus and creativity. Outdoors, a private backyard offers a peaceful escape—perfect for summer gatherings, gardening, or simply unwinding with a good book. A rare three-car garage includes an EV charger, while owned solar panels significantly reduce utility costs. Located just two blocks from Cheesman Park, this home offers the best of historic charm with low-maintenance living—an exceptional opportunity you won’t want to miss.
