Built for Denver’s First Surgeon General
Old-house lovers, get ready to swoon! This isn’t just a house; it is “The Bliss House,” a literal living monument built in 1892 for Dr. Gerald Bliss, the very first Surgeon General of the Colorado Territory. It was designed by William Lang, the rockstar architect of Victorian Denver. Lang homes are famous for hiding a secret signature symbol in the woodwork, and this one features lovely little oak leaves carved into the doorframes and stairs. Talk about ultimate bragging rights!
A Turret with a Secret Balcony
The absolute best part of this entire Queen Anne masterpiece has to be the two-story turret. If you climb up to the finished third-floor attic, you can step right out onto a private balcony nestled inside the turret itself. It gives you the coolest tree-top views and gorgeous seasonal mountain vistas. It is the perfect spot to hide away from the world with a glass of wine and pretend you are the ruler of your own private castle.
Vintage Soul Meets Modern Spa Luxury
Inside, the historic craftsmanship is enough to make any old-house fan cry happy tears. We are talking about a vaulted carved-wood staircase, original tile fireplaces, stained glass windows, and pocket doors that still work smoothly. But you won’t have to live like it’s 1892! The home has fully updated electric and plumbing, brand-new kitchen appliances, and a jaw-dropping bathroom with a modern AirSpa clawfoot tub. You get all the vintage charm without any of the old-house headaches.
Perfect Spot Near the Lake
Outside, you get a massive corner lot with a shaded wrap-around front porch, low-maintenance turf, and even enough gated space to park an RV. Best of all, you are just three blocks away from Sloan’s Lake Park. You can walk down the street for a morning lakeside stroll, gaze at the downtown Denver skyline, and still enjoy super easy access to the mountains. This is a rare chance to be the next caretaker of a true Colorado treasure!
