This stately Denver Square at 1321 Gaylord Street combines century‑old character with thoughtful modern upgrades and flexible living arrangements. Restored millwork, original leaded glass, and wide‑plank wood floors anchor the formal rooms while a remodeled chef’s kitchen—featuring custom cabinets, high‑end appliances, and a large island—brings the home up to today’s standards. A recently installed $55,000 heat pump provides efficient heating and central air conditioning throughout the house.
The generous second‑floor plan delivers four bedrooms, including a tranquil primary suite with an intimate sitting area and a four‑piece bath finished with radiant heated floors for year‑round comfort. The hall bath retains period charm with a classic clawfoot tub and an adjacent laundry for convenience. Downstairs the enormous finished basement contains a kitchenette, non‑conforming bedroom, full bath and additional laundry—once a separate apartment and ideal now as a nanny, in‑law suite, or income unit (verify permitting). Storage is abundant for a home of this vintage.
Outside, a private rear yard with flagstone patio, planted beds and a fire pit extends living space for entertaining. A detached garage and paved parking area off the alley offer a rare parking amenity in central Denver. Located just blocks from the Denver Botanic Gardens and Cheesman Park and an easy stroll to Cherry Creek North and downtown, the home’s position blends peaceful residential streets with immediate access to dining, galleries and recreation.
Thoughtful restoration, modern systems, and a flexible layout make this property attractive to families seeking historic character without sacrificing contemporary comforts or to investors pursuing a value‑add rental arrangement. 1321 Gaylord is a distinctive, move‑in ready Denver Square in one of the city’s most desirable park‑adjacent neighborhoods.
