Property Description

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 distinguished streets, this iconic stone estate has been thoughtfully revitalized to honor its heritage while embracing contemporary life. Formal entertaining rooms, a dramatic coffered dining room, soaring ceilings, restored oak craftsmanship, stained glass, multiple fireplaces, a spacious family room with wet bar, and an inspiring artist’s studio create spaces that feel both elegant and deeply welcoming. Designed by renowned Denver architects Varian & Sterner, the home blends Queen Anne architecture with Richardsonian Romanesque stonework, steep gables, and timeless architectural detail. A private apartment with its own entrance adds exceptional flexibility for guests, multi-generational living, creative work, or income potential, while updated systems—including forced air heating and cooling, smart-home technology, and energy-conscious improvements—deliver the ease of modern living rarely found in a home of this era. In spring and summer, blooming wisteria drapes the stone façade and gates, adding a sense of romance and quiet seclusion that feels worlds away from the city beyond. Just moments from Denver Botanic Gardens, acclaimed restaurants, cafés, parks, and the cultural energy of Capitol Hill, The Stonehouse offers a lifestyle as distinctive as its architecture. More than a remarkable home, it is a legacy property—inviting its next owner to write the next chapter in one of Denver’s truly singular residences.
