The stairway to nowhere

Posted by Kristal Kraft, Denver Realtor on December 2nd, 2007

Denver lofts come in a variety of flavors. We have the “soft” lofts that are built as brand new construction. We also have the “hard” lofts of unique design that now are homes after living a life of service as something else.

These unique lofts often have charming nooks and crannies that aren’t there for decorator interest, they were once working features in a factory or warehouse.

I enjoy seeing how homeowners treat these features. Today IStairway to nowhere noted a stairway that lead to a brick wall. It was a stairway to nowhere, but decorated as a focal point none the less!

I wonder if the homeowner has a story to go along with the “stairway to nowhere.” Might it relate to the history of the building and the people who once worked there?

I’d like to make one up, but then this is not my home. I’ll have to leave it up to the new homeowners.

By the way this fabulous unit is coming on the market this week. It is directly across from Coors Field, so the new homeowner better be a Rockies Fan! Or perhaps a Rocky himself!

    Those curtains are interesting too; I never would have thought to put those together with the brick but it looks great. I think they are the ‘time out’ stairs :-)

    Carole ~ just wait until i post photos of the entire place. It is decorated wonderfully with a mix of antiques and modern furniture.

    I love your “time out stairs”.

    Interesting… at first glance, I thought the stairs were faux painted. I like places that have a bit of mystery to them!

    Leanne ~ I never thought of faux painting stairs, but I can see why you would like that. This home certainly does have mystery to it. Just wait…

    Funny but I thought… Are they real as well.
    I’d love to hear the story about the stairs to nowhere…even if you make it up.

    I do believe the stairs to nowhere are for beings that walk thru walls. What other answer could their be?

    Now that’s a good visual!
