Urban Denver is an inclusive community with neighborhoods as diverse as the people who live in them. Michael Madsen and Nostalgic Homes assist discriminating buyers and sellers with some of Denver's most distinctive homes. Whether it's unique, modern infill construction, architectural gems in Denver's Historic Districts, or sleek condominiums in Lower Downton (LoDo), the properties that have put Michael on the map rank among some of the most sought-after with today's buyers.

If you're looking to buy or sell a Tudor mansion on East 17th Avenue Parkway in Denver's popular Park Hill neighborhood, a modern masterpiece in Cherry Creek North, or a sturdy Craftsman bungalow in Potter Highlands Historic District, Michael Madsen knows these homes - and knows these neighborhoods.

Michael has been privileged to witness the renaissance of Denver's most vital older neighborhoods.

"I love this city and am proud to call it my home. I cannot imagine living anywhere else. I feel that the variety of neighborhoods with rich architecture in Denver bring a sense of community and pride that people want to be a part of. I think my loyal clients return to me and refer to me because of my market knowledge, aptitude to find solutions and easy going demeanor." When he's not working, Michael spends most of his time trying to entertain his two golden retrievers, working on his 107-year-old home (it's almost done), at the gym working out - a lifelong passion for fitness - or spending time with friends and family relaxing. nver
