101 S Humboldt St, Denver

The Grant Residence stands as a true architectural masterpiece, blending historic significance with modern innovation. Originally designed in 1953 by renowned Colorado architect Thomas Edgar Moore and later refined in 1983 and 1992 by the esteemed Victor Hornbein, this iconic home underwent a meticulous restoration in 2019. The transformation included a deep energy retrofit, seamlessly integrating geothermal and solar energy systems while preserving the integrity of its original design. Inspired by the Case Study Houses of the West Coast and the Bauhaus movement of the East, Moore tailored his vision to embrace the Colorado landscape, resulting in a striking example of modernist architecture. From the moment you step inside, you're drawn into the heart of the home—a breathtaking indoor/outdoor atrium that dissolves the boundary between architecture and nature. The west wing unfolds into a refined dining space, leading to an elevated library and a living room that serves as the home's stunning centerpiece. Here, Moore’s signature curtain wall, meticulously reconstructed in wood and glass, frames panoramic views of the Denver Country Club golf course and the downtown skyline, creating a dynamic interplay of light and landscape. Three of the home’s five bedrooms are thoughtfully positioned within this wing, offering both privacy and connection to the surrounding scenery. One of the home's most distinctive architectural elements is its twin T precast concrete roof, a testament to Moore’s visionary craftsmanship. These bold structural beams not only ensure exceptional integrity but also add a sculptural quality that defines the home’s character. Throughout, radiant-heated walnut flooring enhances both beauty and comfort. In the east wing, the space expands into a chef’s kitchen and family room, designed for both functionality and artistry. Anchored by dual Cambria quartz islands and custom EKD cabinetry, the kitchen is equipped with a full suite of professional appliances, ideal for both casual meals and gourmet creations. The adjoining gathering area features built-in walnut cabinetry, a striking wood-burning fireplace crowned with its original copper-clad hood, and a seamless connection to the outdoors through floor-to-ceiling NanaWall doors. These expansive openings lead to a serene backyard sanctuary, where historic trees and lush plantings create a private retreat in the heart of the city. The walk-out lower level is designed for both entertainment and relaxation, offering two additional bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a sprawling lounge with built-in risers—perfect for movie nights or intimate gatherings. A dedicated fitness retreat, complete with its own fireplace and Moore’s original hearth design, provides an inspiring space for wellness. A thoughtfully appointed snack kitchen, custom EKD cabinetry, and refined finishes add functionality, while a climate-controlled wine gallery with storage for over 2,000 bottles serves as a true collector’s showcase. Additional storage rooms and a spacious craft room with extensive built-ins round out this level. Set on a generous 0.43-acre lot, this property balances historic preservation with modern enhancements. The meticulously maintained landscape, secured entry gates, and thoughtful site walls ensure both privacy and a strong connection to nature. Offering an unparalleled blend of timeless design, architectural significance, and contemporary luxury, 101 S. Humboldt presents a rare opportunity to own a piece of Denver’s rich architectural legacy.
