Local philanthropists Denise and Warren Cohen, owners of the Denver Design Center, list their reimagined home commanding a prestigious corner lot along Denver’s iconic on 7th Ave Parkway, known as the Anna B. Filbeck House. This stately Georgian Colonial at 3309 E 7th Avenue Parkway has been transformed into a work of architectural art. A true down-to-the-studs renovation, this residence offers a rare harmony of timeless design with no detail overlooked; every inch is the result of intentional, exacting craftsmanship.
The heart of the home is the kitchen, a thoughtfully curated space featuring a picturesque window, hidden butler’s pantry, and a discreet warming drawer conveniently services the adjacent formal dining area.
Historic architectural elements are preserved and celebrated, including refurbished original pocket doors that separate the living and library spaces. The custom-built library shelving was inspired by its Italian chandelier, while the fireplace mantle, imported from Avignon, France, anchors the living room with centuries-old elegance. A John Brooks chandelier graces the foyer, setting the tone for the home’s European-meets-modern ethos.
Inside, the traditional form gives way to airy, reengineered interiors supported by steel I-beams that span from the basement to the roofline, creating flowing, light-filled and voluminous living spaces that are as functional and elegant.
The lower level is a fully outfitted private retreat in itself. The basement boasts a full media lounge, a game room perfectly scaled for a pool table and poker setup, and a sleek dry bar—making it the ultimate setting for entertainment and relaxation. Dug out to achieve impressive 9-foot ceilings, this level offers a rare blend of comfort, scale, and versatility.
The yard is enclosed by a custom iron fence while a private courtyard patio and welcoming front terrace offer multiple zones for outdoor living, dining, and entertaining beneath the Colorado sky.
This is a rare opportunity to own a residence where historic charm meets the pinnacle of modern luxury. Fully equipped with smart home features—including a comprehensive security system with cameras, automated lighting, and motorized blinds—this home offers the ease of a true lock-and-leave lifestyle. A legacy property in one of Denver’s most iconic neighborhoods, redefined for contemporary living.

History of Anna B. Filbeck
- In 1917 Anna B. Filbeck and her mother, Anna S. Filbeck hired architect John J. Huddart to design a three story building on Champa where they used the bottom floor to fun a millinery supply company, supplying parts for women’s hats well into the 1940s. They acted as landlords and rented out the additional two floors.
- Anna S. married George Filbeck, a German immigrant in 1871. Daughter Anna B. was born in 1875.
- Early settlers in Denver, George opened a successful grocery store
- After his death in 1915, George left his wife and daughter a sizable nest egg which was used to purchase the building on Champa and the home at 3309 E 7th Avenue Parkway
- Anna B. never married, and the family line ended with her death in 1950
- As she left no will, the home, valued at $165,000, was divided among 15 cousins
