Property Description
A rare opportunity to own a truly historic mansion built in 1900, rich with legacy, character, and timeless elegance. Located along prestigious 7th Avenue Historical Street, this remarkable estate was once the family home of Dana Crawford, where she raised four sons and created generations of memories within its storied walls. Dana Crawford was an American architectural conservation developer and preservationist working in Denver, Colorado. She was involved in almost every renovation project in downtown Denver, from the initial designation of the LoDo District and creation of Larimer Square to Union Station. Originally designed for gracious living, the home has long served as a cherished family estate-welcoming children, grandchildren, and countless gatherings over the decades. The interior has been recently painted throughout, offering a fresh, refined backdrop while preserving the home's historic soul. The original horse-and-sleigh garage has been thoughtfully converted into a charming one-bedroom, one-bathroom carriage house with a kitchen-ideal for guests, extended family, or private accommodations. Additionally, the property offers ample space to build a two- or three-car garage at the rear of the home. The third floor features private quarters perfect for a nanny or au pair, complete with a kitchen, bedroom, and sitting room. The basement is an entertainer's retreat, boasting a wine cellar alongside game rooms designed for a pool table, ping-pong, and more. With unparalleled history, architectural presence, and flexibility for modern living, this extraordinary mansion is more than a home-it is a legacy property, lovingly maintained and ready to continue its story for generations to come.
