Estate on Clarkson Street has Been Owned by Notable Dignitaries and Sold in Nine Days
Denver, CO (March 31, 2025) LIV Sotheby’s International Realty (LIV SIR) proudly announces that a spectacular property in Capitol Hill known as “The Gordon Jones Home” recently closed for $2.2 million. Represented by LIV SIR global real estate advisor Scott Bernard, the home was built in 1906 and is located in the 7th Avenue Historic District.
The residence at 750 N Clarkson Street was built by banker Gordon Jones in 1907 and was passed to insurance magnate Clarence Daly in 1923. In 1945 Colorado Supreme Justice Otto Moore purchased the home. Sitting atop an elevated front yard, the home welcomes residents and visitors with a spacious and inviting front porch. The thoroughly updated home offers coffered ceilings, a dramatic staircase, and sitting room with cozy fireplace off of the elegant foyer.
Seller Scott McCoy did extensive updates to the property in order to enhance the charm of the home, paying special attention to the grand staircase and the dining room. McCoy added the coffered ceiling in the entry and second floor landing. “I wanted to create a London feel to the property on the entire first floor. The dramatic staircase, sitting room, and cozy fireplace added to the ambiance and in the morning, sunlight streams through the leaded glass windows in the living area,” said McCoy. “The sunroom off the kitchen is a great place for coffee in the morning or casual meals at home.”
The spectacular seven-bedroom property offers 6,626 square feet of living space, with the living room trimmed in rich, dark wood, while sunlight streams through the original leaded glass windows. Moving into the formal dining room, built-in cabinetry, original wall sconces, and pocket-doors are some of the original features in the home which have been preserved. The gourmet kitchen offers modern amenities including a Dacor gas cooktop, Liebherr refrigerator, farmhouse sink, butler’s pantry, spacious walk-in pantry, and an adjoining sunroom.
“The meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail in this home is what makes it a masterpiece. The home can go from casual meals and coffee in the sunroom, to formal dinner parties, and gatherings in the dining room,” said Scott Bernard, global real estate advisor with LIV SIR. “The home is located in the 7th Avenue Historical District which is a special enclave in Denver offering community, history, and preservation,” he added.
The 7th Avenue Historical District is between Downing Street and Colorado Boulevard and East 6th Avenue and East 8th Avenue. The district works to preserve the history of the neighborhood. Bordering Cheesman and Congress Parks, it offers a strong sense of community and prides itself on retaining the charm and elegance within a growing city.
Additional unique features include a generous patio offering plenty of seating for guests, as well as opportunities for al fresco dining. An enclosed hot tub, front balcony, and a finished basement with additional living space round out the unique attributes. The property is minutes from the Denver Botanic Gardens, downtown, and all that Denver has to offer.
