Some homes are defined by their address, some are defined by their charm, while others are defined by their story. At 101 North Lafayette Street in Denver’s Country Club neighborhood, the address, charm, and story combine to create an unforgettable living experience. Offered at $2,500,000, this property is not to be missed.
Originally built in 1922 for a family immigrating from England to Denver, this distinguished brick traditional home sits at the heart of Denver’s history in one of the city’s most celebrated and carefully preserved neighborhoods. Set on an 8,800-square-foot lot directly across from the Denver Country Club, the home has been a quiet constant on a street that has long set the standard for gracious Denver living.
A Landmark District
The Country Club Neighborhood, developed in 1909, was designated a Historic Landmark District in 1990 and is one of Denver’s most architecturally significant residential communities. Comprising 375 homes, the neighborhood is defined by wide, tree-lined streets, exceptional neighboring homes, and a genuine sense of community that is increasingly rare in a growing city.
The area’s proximity to Cherry Creek North, downtown Denver, and an abundance of shops, restaurants, and bike paths makes it as practical as it is picturesque.
Thoughtfully Preserved
Inside, the home pairs its architectural pedigree with warm, livable spaces that have been carefully updated over time.
The main floor offers a lovely living room anchored by a wood-burning fireplace, a sunny study, and a beautifully renovated kitchen updated with Carrara marble and soapstone countertops, Sub-Zero and Viking appliances, two dishwashers, a Miele built-in coffee maker, and a generous island for casual dining.
The kitchen opens to a sun-filled, south-facing family room, creating a space that becomes the natural center of daily life.
Upstairs, four bedrooms and two bathrooms offer comfortable, well-proportioned living, while the basement adds a rec room and excellent storage.
Life Outdoors
An exceptional butler’s pantry connects the kitchen to a generously scaled dining room, where a Dutch door opens directly onto a private patio. It is an effortless, charming detail, perfectly suited to morning coffee or an evening glass of wine as the garden settles for the night.
Beyond the home’s walls, a saltwater pool faces south to capture Colorado’s abundant sunshine and is framed by mature landscaping, gorgeous trees, and native trumpet vines. A built-in grill completes the outdoor setting.
Represented by Trish Bragg and Maggie Armstrong of LIV Sotheby’s International Realty, the property stands as one of Denver’s most compelling opportunities. It’s a home rooted in the city’s history, set within one of its most iconic communities, and ready for what’s next.
