Potter Highland Artist Studio, Urban Oasis - Carriage House, Near LODO

ABOUT THE SPACE: This plush, well-equipped, working Artist Studio is located in one of Denver's oldest neighborhoods: the Historic Landmark District of Potter Highlands.

Working Artist's Studio with Steampunk flair. This private detached outbuilding has lots of light and sits at the rear of a large inner-city lot behind a primary 1880s Victorian home. Centrally located in the Highlands, AKA The Northside, it has an open-concept great room, a separate bedroom, and a travertine and tile shower. There are two mini-split A/C and heat with separate service to each room, a gas fireplace/stove in the great room, skylights, and a large outdoor space with a covered deck, and gazebo.

The home is perfect for 1-2 guests, however, there is a sleeper futon, that can sleep two additional small guests/children, or one adult, for a maximum of 4. I do not recommend the futon for two full-sized adults. The bedroom has a plush queen maple bed. The space is a working artist studio and is very well appointed and comfortable and has a small teak dining table, a large American Leather Studio down-filled leather sofa and chair, wool carpets/throw rugs, period millwork, and six vaulted skylights with lots of natural light. The bedroom has room darkening shades for comfortable sleeping.

Outdoors you will find luxurious flower and vegetable gardens throughout the property (summer months), a lovely copper gazebo, and a large grass yard for stargazing, sunbathing, or outdoor dining/BBQ grilling, and a firepit for enjoying cold nights in the yard. The Art studio has a private pergola-covered deck for outdoor dining. Copper gutters, wood clapboard, and custom diamond roofing shingles complete the Victorian cottage feel. This private artist’s retreat has custom touches and creative artwork throughout including artwork on the walls for sale.

The yard is fully fenced and I allow pets. Pet fees are $25 per pet, per night, and you must pick up after your pet as they go as the yard is a shared space. Maximum pets: 2. If you have more than 1 pet, please make sure full payment per pet is made. All pets must be paid for in advance of your arrival. This is also a great dog-walking neighborhood.

Please be aware some of the artwork includes tasteful nudes. If you do not want the nudes in the studio please give advance notice and I’ll cover or remove them from the studio during your stay. Don’t worry the art materials are all removed and put away during your stay. You may see paint splatter on the floors (working studio), but they have been swept and mopped clean. Some paint stains cannot be removed, but that does not mean it is not a clean space.

There is plenty of street parking.

This main house was originally constructed in 1880. Most of the neighborhood is built up of late 1800s Victorians, classic cottages, craftsman’s bungalows, and Denver squares, and is great for walking. The cottage was built in the 1950s, with additions and complete renovations in 2008 and 2017.

This quiet urban oasis is situated over a 10,200 square foot lot, extremely unusual for the inner City location, which gives a sense of peace and seclusion. Located 10 minutes from downtown by car, you’re within walking distance of stores, shops, restaurants, and bars. You’ll have easy driving access to I-70, I-25, and 6th Avenue Freeways to get to the airport, the mountains for skiing or sightseeing, or to any other remote location. Uber or Lyft wait times are typically less than 5 minutes, and lower downtown (LODO) is just a 30-minute walk.

MMJ / 420 friendly property (smoke/vape outdoors only). GLBTQ & Straight Friendly. Friendly period. Note: smoking/vaping is only allowed outside in the large private yard. There may be general gardening or mowing going on during your stay.

Thank you for your interest.

NOTE: A separate Guest House is also available that can be rented alone or with the Artist Studio (won’t be rented to 3rd party during your stay). The rental of both spaces together is subject to additional nightly rates and cleaning fees. The Guest House is custom new construction and sleeps up to 8 additioinal people.

The Guest House will not be rented to an unaffiliated party during your stay in the Artist Studio. To reserve both units, reservation must be made under the same party/reservation. Contact owner to make arrangements for both spaces. Unrented spaces may be used by the owners during your stay.
