If you could keep time in a bottle, joy and peace would be shared with you when you opened this 1912 Craftsman Bungalow built by the general contractor and master cabinet maker John E Holmberg. As a general contractor, JEH built a number of houses and apartment buildings in the Denver area. This house was one of his last projects and was built as a home for himself and his family as he and his wife, Minnie, raised their young grandson. This home was built with such craftsmanship if you look carefully you will find decades of masterful experience shown in every aspect of the house, from the pristine cherry trim and built-in bookcases and buffet to the original murals in the dining room and powder room, and the glorious stained glass door and sidelights leading from the upper landing to the sleeping porch/sunroom. The house has been lovingly maintained through the years as a single-family home, with some thoughtful additions including updated plumbing and electrical, and an expansion at the back of the house to allow for a modern kitchen/breakfast nook and primary bathroom upstairs.
