Discover a rare piece of Brighton history with this beautifully updated 1921 home, the only historically designated residence in the area. Originally owned by Thomas A. Miles, a prominent figure who played a significant role in the growth of Brighton, this home carries a rich legacy. Miles was well known in the community and gained further recognition as a star witness in a local murder trial, whose testimony led to the conviction of the accused.
While preserving the charm and integrity of its original design, the home has been thoughtfully updated with vintage features and modern conveniences. The updated kitchen is a chef's dream, featuring a 48" gas range with double ovens, a custom chef's table, Coretec luxury vinyl plank flooring, and a unique custom sink surround. The character continues with restored push toggle switches, original light fixtures in the living and dining rooms, and rich, original wood grain millwork throughout.
This home has also been modernized with the addition of a 3/4 bath in the basement, featuring sleek, contemporary finishes. The main floor bathroom has been updated while preserving its beautiful original hardwood floors. Other upgrades include a newly installed top-line injection pump for updated basement plumbing, an updated fireplace, newer paint, and replaced light fixtures on the main floor, Minisplits to help keep the home cool during the hot Colorado summers. Outdoors, enjoy a peaceful retreat with a flower garden, rose garden, vegetable garden, a 10x12 Tuff shed, and an inviting front porch complete with a ceiling fan. The gas boiler remains fully functional, and the chimney was repaired in Spring 2024.
Steeped in history, this one-of-a-kind home offers both timeless charm and modern functionality, while honoring the legacy of the Miles family and its lasting impact on Brighton.
