748 Downing Street

In the coveted 7th Avenue Historic District, where century-old trees line the streets and history lingers in brick and stone, a rare gem awaits. Built in 1907 and restored for modern living, this stunning Denver Square seamlessly blends timeless craftsmanship with refined designer detail. Set along one of Denver’s most iconic streets, the home welcomes you with lush landscaping and a gracious front porch. Inside, a parlor fireplace wrapped in Ann Sacks tile sets a warm, sophisticated tone, while the formal dining room glows alongside an original curved glass bay window. The gourmet kitchen, remodeled with cherry cabinetry and Bosch appliances, flows into a spacious family room that opens through French doors to a remarkable outdoor oasis. Entertain or unwind on the 400 sq. ft. patio beneath a pergola and bistro lighting, surrounded by a Hügelkultur garden, rose beds, and the original carriage house (turned garage) framed by a historic masonry wall.
Upstairs, the spa-like primary suite features a luxurious bathroom and an oversized walk-in closet, complemented by a second bedroom and a full bath. The third floor expands the possibilities, offering flexible space for a home office, reading nook, creative studio, or additional guest suite. A rare finished basement adds yet another layer of functionality, featuring a private suite with its own entrance and laundry, making it perfect for multigenerational living, visiting guests, live-in support, or as an income-producing rental.
This is more than a beautifully restored historic home: it’s a living piece of Denver history, with updates for peace of mind: new furnace (2025), custom Jellyfish lighting (2023), updated electrical and plumbing (2016), sewer line (2022), A/C (2017), and exquisite woodwork throughout.
With a Walk Score of 91 and just blocks to Cheesman Park, Denver Botanic Gardens, Cherry Creek, and local shops, this home is rooted in one of the city’s most walkable, bikeable, and beloved neighborhoods.
