enver’s Washington Park neighborhood now offers a rare slice of history: a 6‑bed, 6‑bath, 6,300‑sq‑ft estate at 2111 E. Alameda Ave, listed for $4.2 million. The property sits on land that once belonged to former Colorado Governor John Evans, within the gated “Strawberry Hill” enclave that has long been synonymous with privacy and prestige. Gregory Beckham, a luxury specialist at CENTURY 21 Moore Real Estate, and co‑listing agent Teya Odzelashvili are marketing the home.
Built in 1972, the two‑story residence was purchased in 2010 by retired aerospace engineer Robert Hauser after spotting it on Zillow during a corporate move to Denver. Hauser, drawn by the neighborhood’s Bel‑Air vibe, noted the original layout’s segmented hallways made navigation difficult. He therefore opened up the space, reconfigured the first floor, and carried out a “down‑to‑the‑studs” overhaul that included excavating the backyard, installing a heated saltwater pool, and adding a full pool house with a bath and lounge.
Key interior highlights feature a grand foyer with a sweeping marble staircase, a chef’s kitchen outfitted with Viking appliances and a Miele espresso station, and a main‑level primary suite that opens onto a private fire‑pit patio. The exterior offers a resort‑style retreat: covered outdoor living, multiple patios, a rooftop deck, and mature gardens. The all‑brick architecture is complemented by several fireplaces, walk‑in closets, and a fully finished basement.
Hauser is now putting the estate on the market after relocating to Texas in September, where he plans to build his next home. This listing presents a unique opportunity to own a piece of Denver’s past, reimagined for contemporary living.
