Step into a truly unique piece of Wheat Ridge history at Fruitdale Lofts! Originally designed by renowned Denver architect Temple Buell in 1927, the Fruitdale School is his oldest remaining school building. Once serving as an elementary school and community center, this historic landmark has been thoughtfully transformed into a unique, solar-powered residential community that blends original character with modern comfort.

This spacious two-bedroom, one-bathroom loft offers approximately 745 square feet of living space and overlooks the beautiful fruit orchard and solar farm at the rear of the property. The main living space was originally a classroom, while the bathroom was once the school's original boys' bathroom, giving this home an incredible connection to the building's history.
