About 1650 N Pennsylvania St
For the History Lover and Historic Preservationist, this former 1896 home with a separate carriage house (converted to a two-car garage) is proudly being offered for sale. Known as the Guerrieri-De Cunto House, the 2-story blonde brick property has been lovingly restored, maintaining original interior and exterior details, by the current owner of 40+ years and used as an insurance office by the current owner. This property carries the honor of being on both the National Register of Historic Places and Historic Denver Register, securing it from redevelopment.
What makes the structure particularly interesting and virtually unique in Denver is the main facade with its Italianate details and lineage, reflecting the Guerrieris' attempt to recreate in Denver a style they had known many years before in Europe.
The interior has been completely restored and offers five (5) offices, one and a half (1 1/2) bathrooms, a kitchen, a reception area, and a conference room. The historic details such as the oil-frescoed ceiling in the reception area, restored fireplace, millwork, high ceilings, original doors, ornate hardware, stained glass windows, and original wrought iron railing balconies, have been tastefully preserved.
The main facade, unusual for Denver, gives the building its distinctive appearance. Sheltering the entry on the south half of
the first story is a porch with Corinthian columns and engaged columns supporting a low-hipped roof accentuated by a dentil course under the eaves.
