130 S Lafayette Street

Built in 2007 by Denver's Character Builders, 130 S Lafayette Street was designed from the ground up to reestablish classic Denver residential architecture -- limewashed brick, copper gutters, a wrap-around front porch, and stained-glass-flanked front entry included. This is not a historic property; it carries the character of one, with the systems, finishes, and livability of a modern luxury home.

Inside, the grand entry sets the tone with two fireplaces, exceptional millwork, hand-laid walnut flooring, wainscoting, and coved ceilings. The kitchen features custom cabinetry, high-end appliances, and a built-in espresso machine, opening to a great room and positioned behind a formal dining area designed for real entertaining. Upstairs, the primary suite is defined by exposed wood beams, vaulted ceilings, a wood-burning fireplace, a private mountain-view balcony, a custom closet, and a marble spa bath. Two additional bedrooms share a well-appointed Jack-and-Jill bath. The fully finished basement adds a private guest suite, a 500+ bottle wine cellar, and a dedicated home gym -- rare amenities at this address.

Outside, the backyard fireplace and gas lanterns carry the same level of finish found throughout the home. Situated in the highly sought-after Washington Park neighborhood of Denver, Colorado, this property sits three blocks from Washington Park -- one of Denver's premier urban parks -- and within easy walking distance of Restaurant Olivia and the acclaimed dining corridor along S Gaylord Street. Cherry Creek North is a 10-minute drive. The home is served by Denver Public Schools, in the Steele Elementary, Merrill Middle, and South High School feeder pattern -- among Denver's most desirable public-school assignments.
