A recent Denver Post article highlighted a remarkable property in the Washington Park neighborhood: a six-bedroom, six-bathroom estate at 2111 E. Alameda Ave., listed for $4.2 million. The home sits on land once part of former Colorado Governor John Evans’s private estate and has been transformed through a full “down-to-the-studs” renovation—excavating the backyard, installing a pool, opening up the layout, and reimagining a classic Denver residence for modern living.
A Home Reimagined for Modern Living
Originally built in 1972, the estate once featured narrow hallways and compartmentalized rooms that made the home “almost confusing to navigate,” as noted in The Denver Post. The homeowners reconfigured the entire layout, transforming it into an open, flowing space that enhances both light and connection.
Key features of the renovated estate include:
- A resort-style backyard with heated saltwater pool and pool house
- A main-level primary suite with a private patio and fire pit
- A chef’s kitchen equipped with Viking and Miele appliances
- A grand two-story foyer and multiple patios for seamless indoor-outdoor living
Listing agents described the home as a “rare opportunity to own a piece of Denver’s past, beautifully reimagined for modern life.”
These features reflect the same vision that guides SDB’s work—transforming older Denver homes into spaces that feel refreshed, open, and ready for the future.
