Built in 1890 by renowned architect William Lang, the Ellis-Schenck home is a rare masterpiece of Victorian history, elegance, and craftsmanship in the heart of Highland Square. A European-inspired renovation seamlessly blends old-world charm with modern luxury, ensuring every detail has been curated with authenticity. 

Step into the elegant foyer and be transported to an era of grandeur. The parlor, anchored by a vintage fireplace with salvaged tile, sets the stage for timeless beauty. Adjacent, the home’s defining architectural feature—the iconic Turret—floods the main and second levels with natural southern light. 

The main level unfolds with a striking reception room leading to the formal dining area. A richly appointed family room with quartersawn oak built-ins and a stately wood-burning fireplace radiates warmth. Just beyond, a sunlit home office with a unique copper penny floor opens onto a sprawling southern-facing deck and lush grounds. 

The kitchen blends history with modern function, featuring an iconic AGA stove, double dishwashers, a custom refrigerator, a vintage built-in hutch, and a walnut island. A private three-quarter bath and a convenient laundry area complete the main level. 

Upstairs, the primary suite evokes Parisian charm with artful design, a soaking tub inside the turret, a walk-in shower, vintage gas fireplace, and dual closets—one vintage, the other a custom Italian wardrobe. Down the hall, a full bath with a clawfoot tub and brass accents includes discreet laundry. Two additional bedrooms include a serene retreat and a sunlit room with a private deck overlooking the grounds. 

The third story is a light-filled retreat with whimsical hideaways, a half bath, and a vintage railroad car-inspired home office with exquisite millwork and abundant storage. 

Descend to the basement, where an unexpected delight awaits—a private nightclub with a performance stage and a true speakeasy! With a separate entrance, this space is unparalleled for entertainment or use as an au pair suite or private quarters. 

Modern conveniences include a heated two-car garage and a bonus heated studio, pre-wired and pre-plumbed for ADU conversion for a home office, art studio, or guest retreat. 

The grounds are breathtaking—a private park-like oasis with a hand-carved eastern-inspired pergola, lush gardens, mature trees, and inviting spaces for entertaining or quiet reflection. Just steps from Highland Square’s top dining, boutique shopping, and coffeehouses, this home is a landmark of historic Victorian elegance blended with contemporary luxury. 

A rare opportunity to own a piece of Denver’s architectural history—the best of the best awaits you here!
