RENT

1579 N Franklin Street | 3-Bedroom House | 1200 Sq Ft | Uptown / City Park West Denver, CO

A 1909 house with an original carved mantel, a double rainfall shower, and your own front porch, one block off Restaurant Row.

Most Denver rentals at this price hand you a unit number on the fourth floor of something built in 2019. This one hands you keys to a house.

1579 N. Franklin is a 1909 two-story with the front porch, the bay window, and the black-and-white brick detailing that made these blocks worth walking in the first place; brought fully up to date inside, then left alone where it counted.

Walk in the front door and you land in a real entry foyer, not a hallway. To your left, the staircase. Ahead, the main floor opens up: living room to dining room to kitchen, all connected, all wide, all yours.

The living room is the reason you'll sign. The original 1909 mantel: carved corbels, overmantel mirror, black marble hearth anchors a wall of painted panel work, with built-in bench seating tucked in on both sides and transom windows above throwing light across the room. It's the kind of millwork no new building will ever have, because nobody builds like this anymore.

The dining room keeps the original built-in hutch: glass-front cabinets, deep drawers, open shelving, flanked by two paneled doors. Real storage that doesn't cost you floor space.

The kitchen is the practical one. Butcher-block counters, crisp white cabinetry, a slate tile backsplash, and full-size stainless appliances across the board: gas range, dishwasher, over-range microwave, and a French-door refrigerator. Window over the sink. Tile floor. Enough counter to actually cook.

The main-floor bath is a white subway-tile and black-trim job with a walk-in tile shower, hex mosaic floor, and oil-rubbed bronze fixtures; the finish level you'd expect in a home twice this rent.

Upstairs, three bedrooms and the second full bath. A landing with a chandelier and an arched window. One bedroom sits in the turret bay with windows on three sides. Another tucks into the dormer. All three have ceiling fans, wide-plank floors, and space for a real bed plus a desk.

The upstairs bath is the surprise: double vanity, twin sinks, black slate floor, and a full-glass walk-in shower with two rainfall shower heads. Nobody has to wait, and nobody has to negotiate.

Outside, the house has its own covered porch, a fenced front with stucco garden walls and mature trees, and a quiet setback from the street.

In-unit washer and dryer. Dogs and cats welcome.

The location

You're one block south of 17th Avenue's Restaurant Row and about a half-mile from City Park: the Zoo, the Museum of Nature & Science, the golf course, and the Ferril Lake skyline view. Cheesman Park is about a half-mile south and the Botanic Gardens about a mile. The 16th Avenue bike path runs right past you, and downtown sits a flat mile west: a five-minute ride or an easy walk. Groceries, coffee, and a dozen dinner options are all inside a ten-minute walk.
