2245 Rue Julian

The perfect balance of historic character, thoughtful updates, and an incredible Sloan’s Lake location come together in this 4-bedroom, 2-bath Victorian home located on a block lined with historic homes and surrounded by great neighbors. Original cedar floors, stained-glass windows, high ceilings, original woodwork, and an antique cast-iron fireplace preserve the details that give this Denver home its character and charm. The updated kitchen blends function with character, featuring quartz countertops, updated cabinetry, a new gas range, and an open layout that connects naturally to the main living spaces. Upstairs are three bedrooms and a full bath, including a spacious primary bedroom with a walk-in closet and private balcony. The roomy light-filled upstairs bathroom was recently updated and offers two separate sinks, a classic clawfoot tub, and a separate shower. A fourth bedroom and second full bathroom, with its own clawfoot tub, are located on the main level. The outdoor space is just as inviting. The front yard features native Colorado plants and raised beds for growing vegetables or creating your dream garden. The fenced backyard is shaded by trees and features a new patio, landscaping, and an updated sprinkler system, along with a fully insulated and heated backyard office that offers separation for working from home. A detached one-car garage, alley access, additional off-street parking in the alley and one of the few remaining carriage lots in Denver, and ample storage in both the attic and unfinished basement complete the package. Other updates include 16 new double-pane windows, a tankless water heater, and fresh interior and exterior paint. And then there’s the location. Walk or bike to Sloan’s Lake, head over to the shops and restaurants along 32nd Avenue and Highlands Square, or take advantage of easy access to downtown Denver and the mountains. A home with this combination of character, updates, outdoor space, and location is a rare find.
