This fabulous Vitorian in the heart of West Highland is an eclectic blend of old and new - it has so many original features, with some modern amenities. It just took a price reduction, and it’s ready to go, so I’m holding it open this Satruday from 1-4, stop by and check it out, you will love it.
 Spacious Victorian with tons of charm! Tree lined street just 5 blocks from Highlands Square, shops & restaurants.
Fruit trees, a patio and a storybook gazebo make this yard a great place to hang out, relax, and entertain.
The real bonus in this backyard is the 2-story heated garage with space to create - whether it’s an artist space or workshop, this is valuable, functional space that isn’t included in the property’s square footage!
 Charming backyard with gazebo and garage/studio!
 Light, spacious front room with working fireplace.

Earlier this year, I started redesigning and remodeling a home on Perry Street as my new residence. My sister, Pat Perry, is the owner and chef at the Highlands Garden Café and she the purchased the home three years ago. While she and our mother completed the gardens next to the home, the remodeling and construction was up to me. Imagine my surprise when I uncovered a bit of North Denver history lost under the floorboards.
The home was built in 1902 and it is a small unassuming flat roof structure, lacking the character and elegance of the surrounding homes. While working in the small cellar, I discovered a thin handwritten journal filled with names, drawings, and maps. You can imagine my surprise of discovering a lost journal though there was no mention of its author or the owner.
I decided to find out more and tracked down Frederick Stanford whose grandmother owned the home from 1910 through 1984. He graciously filled in all the details and I now find myself writing the Highlands Christmas Story in hopes of returning the journal to its rightful owner.
In his letter, he described the home on Perry Street perfectly and shared why this home has a special place in North Denver’s history. I have posted the entire story online at HighlandsChristmasStory.com and I am sharing a sample of his letter with you.
“It seems the flat roof on Perry Street was actually the perfect size for eight reindeer and a sleigh! Unlike the high-pitched Victorian style roofs of her neighbors, this spot was the best resting spot in the Highlands for Santa to allow his reindeer a quick break in their amazing journey. As kids we used to snicker when she told us Santa would drink her homemade Peppermint tea sitting on the ledge above the front door. Those snickers would be goose bumps now! You have proven her story true”.
To celebrate this Highlands story, you and your family are invited to the Highlands Garden Café on December 20th from 1-3PM for decorating cookies and sharing in the conclusion of the story It is our hope to leave Santa hundreds of Highland cookies in homes everywhere to celebrate this Christmas season. The Café is also collecting new, unwrapped toys for donation to the Boys and Girls Club of Metro Denver. Your contribution will add to the smiles Christmas morning for those in need. If you would like to receive your own online copy of the story, please email me at martin@liveurbandenver.com and I will forward it to you.
Please RSVP online for the Christmas cookie party at HighlandsChristmasStory.com or call the Café at (303) 458 5920.
We hope to see you there!

 This is a great opportunity to tour one of the Highlands’ newest contemporary residences. Located in the historically designated Whittier Coffield neighborhood best known for it’s grand Victorians on oversized lots with larger setbacks than most Denver homes. It’s rare to find new construction that compliments existing historic architecture as well as being a “product of our time.” This tri-level, 2700 square foot, 3 bed, 4 bath, masterpiece was designed, developed, constructed and finished exclusively by Kung Architecture. The result is a very carefully detailed and consistently executed product. This home will be open to the public Wednesday, February 11th from 4pm to 7pm. Please stop by to meet the architects, enjoy complimentary cocktails and appetizers and enjoy a tour of this exciting home. The views from the rooftop terrace are nothing short of spectacular!
