Welcome to one of the flagship homes and an entertainer's dream in Denver's Old San Rafael Historic District. This Victorian era Italianate, with it's tall windows and abundance of historic detail, easily has one of the best park-like yards in the city. Surrounded by a wrought iron fence, the garden has a huge flagstone patio that blends perfectly into newly irrigated pockets of flowers, trees and grass with paths to explore and enclaves in which to decompress -all anchored by a subtle yet striking sculpture in the center. The home itself is equally impressive -with a masterfully updated chef's kitchen (quartz countertops, high-end cabinets, top-tier stainless appliances and plenty of space and light) that opens to the dining area and a lovely bay window overlooking the garden. In the living room, one will find floor-to-ceiling built-in bookcases on either side of the original fireplace. A cozy family room sits on the other side of kitchen and the first floor is all hardwood floors. The sizable primary bedroom has dual closets, a bay window overlooking the garden and a private balcony from which to see the sunrise over the garden and surrounding neighborhood. The enormous basement has a private entrance from the garden and could easily be converted into a separate living unit. Storage abounds everywhere. Newer Pella windows, newer roof, lead water intake has been replaced. Don't be deceived by the quiet, tree lined feel of Old San Rafael -it is in the heart of the city with multiple places to eat, drink and shop within two blocks. The heart of RiNo is a mere ten minutes away by foot, Coors Field ten minutes by bike, with Restaurant Row on 17th Ave, Uptown, Cap Hill and Cheeseman Park all closeby. This residence, in this location boasts one of the very best combinations of reclusive oasis and urban living experiences that Denver has to offer!
