Originally built in 1955 as a Catholic convent for nuns, this one-of-a-kind home has one of Denver’s most remarkable histories. In 1974, the building became Denver’s first Church of Scientology before being converted into four homes known as “The Nunnery” in 1997. For the first time in nearly a decade, one is available.

Set within an intimate community, this expansive condo occupies its own floor, offering 1,627 square feet of living space with no shared walls, windows on three sides, and three entrances, including a private double staircase. The layout lives more like a spacious private home than a typical condo, with a floor plan shaped by the building’s history. An updated kitchen with quartz counters and stainless steel appliances opens to spacious living and dining areas. Original architectural details preserve the building’s mid-century convent roots, blending character with timeless appeal.

Curated vintage furnishings and retro influences celebrate the home’s unique character. The flexible layout includes three bedrooms and four bathrooms. Two bedrooms are en-suite, while the third opens to an attached bonus room that works as a den, office, or studio. Outside, a large fully fenced yard offers a flagstone patio, mature landscaping, room to garden, relax or entertain. The unit also includes a private shed, offering storage for tools, bikes, outdoor gear, or workshop use, plus two deeded parking spaces with room for a third.

The self-managed HOA covers heat, water, sewer, trash, recycling, insurance, snow removal, grounds, roof, and exterior maintenance.
Athmar Park is one of Denver’s best-kept secrets, offering an established neighborhood with parks, a strong sense of community, and a central location. Just two blocks from the South Platte River Trail and minutes from the Santa Fe Arts District and South Broadway, you’ll enjoy easy access to downtown, the I-70 corridor, and the mountains, with restaurants, galleries, breweries, and shops nearby.
