The Uniquely Well-Designed Victorian Painstakingly Updated for Contemporary, Cosmopolitan Living...

1429 Detroit is a one-of-kind beauty which portrays a quiet exterior elegance in its bay window and arched glass architectural touches. Soft spoken yet distinctive. From the moment you step onto the tiled porch and across the threshold into this home, you can see and feel the harmony and peaceful, understated opulence that has been preserved and created within these 3700+ sq feet. The care and appreciation of the home's original design qualities and décor are evident.
The living room has new hardwood floors yet the fireplace has the original mantle and tile work. The heating vents are the ornamental grates from the turn of the century. To meet today's needs, the electrical systems and lighting fixtures have been upgraded.
The adjacent formal dining room with its own fireplace which is an uncommon benefit in today's offerings sets a tone of formal gentility.
The floor plan unfolds and evolves with one room seamlessly blending into the next. It flows without the barrenness of the loft or great room concept. Here it's gentle and beckoning - the product of thoughtful, appreciative, meticulous design and execution.
The kitchen is laid out as a place you would want to cook and enjoy close intimate conversations over a cup of coffee with a friend. Solid slab granite countertops, new stainless steel appliances, loads of new quality wood cabinets and an island all come together to create a great work space. Off the kitchen is your new laundry room complete with stainless steel washer and dryer, mud room sink and the main floor guest bath.
This first floor is ideal for entertaining whether a cozy dinner party of six or a floating cocktail venue of 50.
For quiet nights at home, the study/family room off the kitchen provides a sense of separation yet inclusion with other home members.
The main hall staircase is original with the property and leads to the master suites. In this home, each of the extraordinarily large bedrooms has its own tile bath with glass surround shower.
The front 2nd floor bedroom has its own fireplace and walk-in closet space the size of most bedrooms. The second oversized bedroom on this floor enjoys large closets and large bath. Again, every tiny aspect of detail has been addressed in this home's renewal to a contemporary lifestyle.
The 3rd floor is the largest room with an open floor plan. With its own bath and closet space, this could be easily utilized as a bedroom, a playroom, a study, an office, a studio or whatever suits your fancy.
Did we mention the upgraded heating, plumbing and zonal air conditioning? New double pane windows for seasonal comfort and lower utilities. The sprinkler system and security system. And then there's the garage, off-street parking, new deck off the kitchen and a 596 sq foot storage space in the cellar.
The home's location is close to downtown, to Denver's upscale Cherry Creek shopping center, local restaurants and entertainment venues, shops and services, cultural attractions at City Park, the Tattered Cover and mass transit.
The best news of all is the price of this home. Recently this fine home was appraised at $800,000. Today, it's on the market at a mere $649,000. This is an automatic reduction of $151,000 off appraisal and an unheard of price of $175/square foot for this area.
