Description
The Fish House - also known as Seven Elms - is the only Mission Revival-style residence in the Potter Highlands Historic Neighborhood. Built in 1908 for Jesse and Mary Carey, the Careys held a housewarming party in November 1908 that was celebrated in the Denver Post: "The bungalow has been much admired by Denver people who have driven out to North Denver to see it. It is in Spanish style and very unique." Jesse Carey was a buyer of lace and trimmings for the A.T. Lewis Dry Goods Store. However, the home is best known for its longtime owners, Albert and Lisbeth Fish, who purchased the property in 1913. Albert was president of Jackson-Richter Steel and Ironworks (later Midwest Steel), while Lisbeth was a poet, gardener, and active member of numerous Denver clubs. The couple expanded their property in 1918 to include the adjacent lots (now the duplex to the east), giving Lisbeth space to cultivate a remarkable and renowned Victorian style garden filled with rare plants. The sunlit interior provides abundant ease and comfort, featuring main level living with gracious living spaces that flow easily into each other. Boasting an inviting living room, spacious formal dining room, a home office nook, original sunroom and large kitchen, there are multiple rooms to meet everyone's needs. The primary ensuite is quiet and private, featuring a sitting room with fireplace, walk in closet with laundry, and bath with soaking tub. A finished basement provides further use for media room, office or workout space, and a second, main floor primary suite is perfect for guests or family. This remarkable property includes the original 1 bed, 1 bath, fully furnished ADU, which has been successfully rented for the last several years. The 1/4 acre lot is still lushly landscaped today, and the entire property presents a rare and unique opportunity for the next fortunate owner.Show Description
