Welcome to the beautiful Morgan's Historic neighborhood and this extraordinary home designed by Jacques Benedict. Originally known as the "Neusteter House," it is a superb example of Italian Renaissance Revival architecture and is on the market now for the first time in over fifty years! Located on the east side of Cheesman Park, this home's backyard opens to 80 acres of green space with a 1.8 mile walking path, numerous picnic spots, kid's playground and a private entrance to Denver Botanic Gardens! The back patio allows for morning coffee on the Park and evening entertaining while watching the gorgeous Colorado sunsets. Back inside, the "round room" with its domed ceiling is said to have perfect acoustics for musical performances. The curved staircase, leaded glass windows, elaborate moldings, original elevator and painted soffits are as special now as they were when the home was built almost a century ago. The grand living room has an incredible stone fireplace and a sunny alcove perfect for work or reflection. So much room for sleeping. There is certainly potential to reconfigure and customize the current bedroom plan on second and third floors as needed. Marvelous garage doors in the heated/plumbed/high ceilinged garage open to private driveway. The next owner will appreciate this home's distinct character and charm while embracing necessary updates for today's lifestyle. This estate is being sold in "as is" condition. Come take a look!
