A rare blend of historic character, modern livability, and unmatched flexibility—this iconic 1886 Queen Anne Victorian near Cheesman Park features original stained glass, intricate millwork, and a fully separate garden-level residence. Ideal for an au pair, multigenerational living, private guest suite, or optional income, the space offers up to $5,000/month (~$60K annually) while preserving complete privacy in the main home. Just steps from Cheesman Park and a short walk to Cherry Creek, the home offers over 4000 finished sq ft across 4 levels, combining timeless architecture with thoughtful updates. Rich in character, the home showcases original fireplace tile surrounds, intricate millwork, pocket doors, stained glass, and its signature corner turret. Natural light pours through preserved windows, highlighting the warmth of hardwood floors and historic craftsmanship.
