Property Description
It's a rare opportunity for such a beautiful condo in the historic building "The Ellington" to become available. Built in 1910, this lovingly cared for home sits high in the tree canopy of the Cheeseman park neighborhood. Abundant natural light illuminates the honey hued wood floors and lovingly preserved craftsman style wood hutches, built-in's, and accents. A large skylight over the rear staircase allows sunlight to pour in along the interior wall, allowing all 4 sides of the home to be bathed in natural light. The unique layout of both a front and rear staircase also comes with the added benefit of the guest bedroom having the only shared wall between units. The kitchen and bath were thoughtfully remodeled in 2025 to seamlessly blend the old with the new. Materials such as walnut cabinets, quartz countertops, glass doors and penny tile complement the original wood, tile, and leaded glass found throughout this character-rich home. The kitchen features soft close and lit drawers, 3 stage water filtration, premium appliances and accent lighting above and below the cabinetry. The solid wood built-in hutch with its pass through connects those in the kitchen to guests seated on counter height stools on the opposite, dining room side. Massive wood and leaded glass doors lead to a breezy and calming porch space with the serenity of the greenery by nearby mature trees and overlooks the landscaped yard and stone patio below. Located in the basement is a laundry room featuring individual washers and dryers for each unit and a private storage room with a built in workbench and shelves. 2 parking spaces in the rear of the building are also included. For years the owners have enjoyed morning walks across Cheeseman Park and into the Denver Botanical Gardens. They are gifting the new owners a one year membership to keep this tradition alive. This includes a key fob for access through the rear entry gate that connects Cheeseman to the gardens.
