Experience modern penthouse living in the iconic 1894 Cornell Flats building, situated in the heart of Uptown. Residence 3A is a light-filled, open-layout 2 bed, 2 bath home updated to contemporary standards while preserving historic craftsmanship. Upon entering the foyer, an oversized dining room is anchored by an impressive fireplace with a hand-carved mantle, surrounded by windows on three walls. Moving towards the light-drenched main living area, with oak hardwood flooring and soaring 9-foot ceilings with crown molding, you will find the chef’s kitchen. The gourmet kitchen features an eat-in island with contrasting slab granite, a natural gas Bosch cooktop with an integrated hood and a wine/beverage cooler. The island is surrounded by floor-to-ceiling custom shaker cabinetry, premium stainless steel appliances, contrasting slab granite and an adjacent walk-in pantry across from the laundry. After passing a full-bath, the sophisticated secondary living area includes a fireplace, a wall of windows, and access to both the 200 SF tiled terrace and the building’s elevator. The elegant primary suite is bathed in light from two turreted windows, features an original fireplace and opens to the luxurious bath with dual vanities, a large shower, and walk-in closet. Ascending the stairs, a non-conforming bedroom with an additional closet awaits. Residence #3A has direct elevator access to its 1-car garage and an additional 200 SF of storage in the building’s basement – a rarity this close to downtown. Originally constructed as the Queens Hotel in 1894, the stone building operated as the Cornell Hotel for over 50 years before being converted into 6 unique residences in 2002. This conversion updated all mechanical systems, added wheelchair accessibility and a resident’s garage. Cornell Flats is situated near Colorado’s Capitol, a block from renowned eateries along 17th Ave, local grocers Marcyzk’s & Watercourse and within a short distance of Curtis Park.
