The Fish House - also known as Seven Elms - is the only Mission Revival-style residence in the Potter Highlands Historic District and is regularly featured in the Historic Denver Guidebooks. 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 residence is perfectly positioned on a lushly landscaped quarter-acre lot. Offering a seamless blend of history, charm and functionality, the interior boasts an open floor plan thoughtfully designed for modern living. The main level hosts two en-suite bedrooms, including a spacious primary suite featuring a sitting area with a fireplace and a bath with a soaking tub and a tiled shower. Original curved windows grace the enclosed side porches, and an attached greenhouse offers three season enjoyment. The finished basement provides flexible space for a media room, office or guest suite. A standout feature is the original, fully functioning 1 bed, 1 bath, furnished ADU with a proven rental income. Situated one block from Leever’s Locavore and surrounded by top-tier dining and coffee shops, this is a rare Highlands offering.
