Capitol Hill Mansion Sells for $2.2M in Just 9 Days, Blending Historic Charm with Modern Luxury
A historic gem in Denver’s Capitol Hill neighborhood has sold for $2.2 million after just nine days on the market, highlighting the ongoing demand for unique, character-filled homes in central Denver. Originally built in 1906, the seven-bedroom property — affectionately known as “The Gordon Jones Home” — is located in the prestigious 7th Avenue Historic District and has a storied past. It was first built by banker Gordon Jones, later owned by insurance magnate Clarence Daly in the 1920s, and eventually purchased in 1945 by Colorado Supreme Court Justice Otto Moore.
With 6,626 square feet of living space, the home masterfully blends historic charm with thoughtful modern updates. The current seller enhanced the home with additions like a coffered ceiling and second-floor landing, while carefully preserving original features such as the dining room, intricate built-in cabinetry, vintage wall sconces, and classic pocket doors. The house also boasts a finished basement, seven bedrooms, and a relaxing backyard complete with a hot tub — offering both elegance and comfort.
According to LIV Sotheby’s International Realty, the combination of history, architectural detail, and updated amenities made the home a rare find in one of Denver’s most beloved neighborhoods, nestled between Cheesman and Congress Parks. Its swift sale reflects the strong demand for homes that offer both historical significance and modern livability in the heart of the city.
