Set within one of Denver's most architecturally significant landmarks, this two-story loft offers an extraordinary opportunity to live in a piece of the city's history, reimagined for modern life. Constructed in 1889 and expanded in 1924, the Denver Dry Goods Building was once the largest department store west of Chicago, a grand emporium employing over 1,200 people at its peak. Designed by Frank Edbrooke, the architect behind the Brown Palace Hotel, the building has been transformed into distinctive residences that retain the integrity of its industrial past while embracing contemporary comfort. Located on the quiet fourth floor, this rare loft spans two thoughtfully designed levels and is defined by dramatic architectural gestures: soaring 25 foot ceilings, original exposed brickwork, timber and steel beams, and an iconic spiral staircase that anchors the space with sculptural presence. Oversized windows invite generous natural light, enhancing the sense of volume and calm throughout. The home's layout is as practical as it is elegant, featuring 2 bedrooms with walk-in closets, 2 full bathrooms (one on each level), open-plan living spaces ideal for both hosting and solitude. Tasteful updates, granite countertops, sleek kitchen and bath fixtures offer ease and refinement without compromising the building's character. Residents enjoy thoughtful amenities: secure entry, rentable guest suite, fitness center, storage unit, bike storage, and 1 reserved garage parking space, with more available for a fee. The HOA covers water, gas, and trash, streamlining daily living. Outside, the city unfolds with renewed energy. The recently revitalized 16th Street, now more pedestrian friendly, connects you to a vibrant mix of restaurants, shops, and public art. From the Colorado Convention Center and Denver Performing Arts Complex to Union Station with direct service to DIA, the location blends convenience and connectivity, while the home remains a quiet retreat.
