The Stonehouse at Capitol Hill is one of Denver’s rare true lifestyle properties — a residence equally suited for elevated daily living, large-scale entertaining, creative work, multi-generational living, or visionary live/work possibilities in the heart of the city.
Set behind wrought-iron gates on one of Capitol Hill’s most architecturally rich streets, this extraordinary stone estate offers a rare blend of historic grandeur, turnkey luxury, modern comfort, and exceptional flexibility in the heart of Denver.
Thoughtfully revitalized over several years by its current owners, the residence was designed to support both beautiful everyday living and dynamic gathering spaces. Formal entertaining rooms, a large family room with wet bar, an artist’s studio, multiple fireplaces, stained glass, restored oak craftsmanship, extensive moldings, soaring ceilings, and a dramatic coffered dining room create an atmosphere reminiscent of a historic luxury hotel — both expansive and deeply welcoming.
The home’s scale and layout allow for a remarkable range of uses and experiences. Whether hosting intimate dinners, large celebrations, creative salons, extended family stays, or working from home in an inspiring setting, the property adapts effortlessly to modern life. A separate apartment with private entrance offers additional flexibility for guests, staff, rental income, or multi-generational living.
Modern systems include forced air heating and cooling, smart-home security, lighting and entertainment, as well as energy-conscious updates rarely found in residences of this vintage.
In spring and summer, blooming wisteria softens the home’s stone façade and wrought-iron gates, adding to the sense of romance, privacy, and old-world character that makes the property feel transportive in the middle of the city.
Originally designed by noted Denver architects Varian & Sterner, The Stonehouse showcases Queen Anne architecture with Richardsonian Romanesque stonework, steep gables, and luminous stained glass. Yet what makes the residence exceptional is not simply its history — it is the rare opportunity to inhabit a property with soul, scale, flexibility, and lasting emotional resonance.
Equally suited as a luxurious private residence, creative retreat, entertaining destination, or live/work environment, the home invites a range of possibilities depending on a buyer’s vision. That versatility — paired with its architectural significance and turnkey livability — is one of the property’s most compelling attributes.
Located moments from Denver Botanic Gardens, restaurants, cafés, parks, and the cultural energy of Capitol Hill, the home offers an urban lifestyle that is vibrant, walkable, and deeply connected to the city.
This is not a home that fits neatly into a category. It is a legacy property for buyers seeking beauty, flexibility, character, and the opportunity to inhabit one of Denver’s truly singular spaces.
