The Fish House - also known as Seven Elms - is the only Mission Revival-style residence in the Potter Highlands Historic Neighborhood. Built in 1908 for Jesse and Mary Carey, the Careys held a housewarming party in November 1908 that was celebrated in the Denver Post: "The bungalow has been much admired by Denver people who have driven out to North Denver to see it. It is in Spanish style and very unique." Jesse Carey was a buyer of lace and trimmings for the A.T. Lewis Dry Goods Store. However, the home is best known for its longtime owners, Albert and Lisbeth Fish, who purchased the property in 1913. Albert was president of Jackson-Richter Steel and Ironworks (later Midwest Steel), while Lisbeth was a poet, gardener, and active member of numerous Denver clubs. The couple expanded their property in 1918 to include the adjacent lots (now the duplex to the east), giving Lisbeth space to cultivate a remarkable and renowned Victorian style garden filled with rare plants.

This remarkable property includes the original 1 bed, 1 bath, fully furnished ADU, which has been successfully rented for the last several years. The 1/4 acre lot is still lushly landscaped today, and the entire property presents a rare and unique opportunity for the next fortunate owner.

The Potter Highlands Historic District, just west of downtown Denver, was first platted in 1863 and briefly became its own city in the 1880s before rejoining Denver in 1896. Known for its Victorian, Craftsman, and cottage-style homes--most built between 1893 and 1939--it remains one of Colorado's largest residential historic districts. Once a bustling streetcar suburb, it's still home to thriving businesses and a rich cultural legacy.

Showings begin May 21st.
