Property Description
Step into a 1890 time capsule at 1629 N Downing St, a beautifully preserved Queen Anne Victorian located in the Swallow Hill Historic District. This historic masterpiece seamlessly blends rich architectural detail with flexible modern functionality, offering a unique opportunity to own a property that's as versatile as it is magnificent. The home was designed by the architect L. Aldine, who was recognized for the use of ornate detailing, including porches, balconies, rough-cut stone belt courses, and decorative shingles. The home features exquisite woodwork, exposed brick, and original stained-glass windows. Zoned G-R-03, the property is currently configured as a private residence but has a proven history of use as professional offices, apartments, or a combination of both-perfect for live/work or investment. The second floor has been thoughtfully reimagined as a luxurious primary suite, complete with a custom walk-in closet and a gas fireplace for added warmth and charm. Another gas fireplace anchors the main level's cozy living room. The third floor offers a spacious bedroom with an en-suite bath or a quiet studio space-ideal for creatives or professionals. The previous owner was a renowned landscape architect. Outside you will find gardens, charming patios, and a private fenced backyard-a true urban sanctuary. Located just minutes from Downtown Denver, hospitals, shops, and renowned restaurants, this home offers the perfect blend of walkability, tranquility, and city convenience. Private parking spaces are available in the alley and a garage. Whether you're looking for a distinguished personal residence, a boutique office space, or a hybrid of both, this property delivers. Experience the magic of 1629 N Downing for yourself.
