c. 1891 American Foursquare
Highland
Denver, CO









A Love Story For The Ages Awaits In This Iconic Landmark Home – Built c. 1891 by Scottish mining engineer Hugh Mackay as a romantic & persuasive wedding gift for his wife.

A timeless tale of love is felt throughout this graceful 2-Story Indiana Limestone American Four Square with Remarkable Detailing. Offers a respectful nod to the past while living artful & classy, meeting the needs of today with a vintage twist in an open floor plan with 11-ft ceilings, Neo-Classical trim and quartersawn oak floors throughout the main level.

The grand staircase beckons you into a spacious living room featuring an original fireplace & oversized window overlooking the outstanding front yard. Surprisingly large Great Room has room for the 8-ft sofa and all of the accompaniments, ensuring you can live & entertain with elegance. A gas fireplace is showcased in a cocktail corner of the Great Room. Convenient casual dining area is adjacent to the custom kitchen delivering top-shelf appliances, soapstone counters, copper sink, and white oak cabinets for generous storage.

Dining area opens to the impressive backyard that is second to none – tremendous greenery including mature trees, flowers, garden, a lighted pergola to dine under, open-air patio, grilling deck, and a hot tub too! Let’s head upstairs…

2nd story houses 3 bedrooms, including an Owner’s Suite fit for royalty – completely dialed in with a walk-in closet and a full bathroom to woo you! 2nd bedroom is equally as large & dressed with a bay window. 3rd bedroom functions as a home office and features a built-in Murphy Bed.

Marvelous 2nd bathroom upstairs stars an art deco tile walk-in shower to tickle your heart and functions with all the modern amenities you desire. Original Carriage House Garage has room for 2 cars and a 2nd story that could be finished in the future for guests. All systems have been updated.
