32nd Avenue
Justin, owner and principal of Ascent Contracting, has a deep personal connection to this 1915 Victorian Craftsman home in Denver. Originally purchased as a renovation investment when he was single, the home later became his first marital residence and the place where his three children were born.
Two decades and a thoughtfully executed renovation later, it now serves as the hub for Ascent’s operations—hosting team meals, cookie decorating competitions, and collaborative learning experiences for all employees.
For the main-level redesign, our Denver home remodeling team used 3D modeling to carefully preserve the home’s original features while updating it for modern living. Key architectural elements maintained include the oak kitchen hutch, fireplace built-ins, cast iron radiators, original stained wood trim, and the historic doorbell. The oak hutch, originally located in the wall separating the kitchen and dining area, was carefully disassembled, integrated into new cabinetry, and highlighted with wallpaper to brighten the space. Leaded-glass fireplace built-ins were returned to their original placement, restoring the home’s authentic design. Stained wood trim in the dining area, which had previously been painted white, was replaced and refinished to match the home’s historic character.
The powder bathroom reflects the home’s 1915 era with timeless design choices: black-and-white mosaic floor tile, wainscoting with wallpaper above, a walnut vanity, pivot mirror, milk glass pendant light, and polished nickel bin pull hardware.
Every aspect of this Denver historic home renovation was executed with care and reverence for the home’s history, blending modern functionality with classic charm. The result is a space that honors the home’s unique character while providing a comfortable, functional environment for generations to come.
