Classic Homes of Denver

Driving around the neighborhoods of Denver, its hard not to admire the lovely classic homes. Denver has many landmarked districts where the neighborhood relishes restoration instead of replacement.

Today on a chilly, winter morning we leisurely drove up and down Denver city streets enjoying a “bus man’s holiday.” Yes, all week we deal with Denver real estate, and even on a day off we find ourselves drawn to exploring.

The good thing about doing a self tour is that you can start in any of the many fine neighborhoods; Seventh Ave. Parkway, Cheesman, Congress Park, Country Club, Cherry Creek are the areas we toured today. (Visit the Denver Classic Home Photo Gallery)

If you have a hankering for some International Colorado History, visit the Molly Brown House Museum at 1340 Pennsylvania Street. Molly was a Denver Socialite who survived the Titanic. Her lovely Victorian home is a delight to visit and a perfect ending to a Denver classic home tour.

Great pics of some truly magnificent houses. If you know some of the history of the houses that would be nice to include.

Very interesting to read about this area here. I’m always fascinated to read of new places and to see the ways that people view their community. It’s extraordinarily important for the real estate professional to have a sense of these things; can you think of 5 other things that are important to success in this market?
