Located in one of Denver’s quiet and traditional urban neighborhoods, this stately brick home offers a strong presence to the street. Classical lines, proportional massing and traditional materials are articulated by generous overhangs, trim work and brick detailing. These strong lines of the front become more fluid as the home opens up towards the back to the lot’s luxuriant outdoor spaces, southern daylight and patios designed for entertaining in Colorado’s 300 days of sun.

Welcomed into the home by a series of columns and substantial front door, you are greeted by a formal and spacious foyer followed by a series of rooms that at once grow in size and connection to the outdoors, as well as relax in formality. Arriving at the Great Room, the space is grounded by a wood-burning fireplace flanked with doors and views leading to the outdoor dining, living and play. Facing these views, just steps away, sits the hub of the home, the kitchen: formality has been replaced with an elegant open floor plan, perfect for the modern family. Nestled close by are the appliance and foods pantries for endless storage, a spacious family entry room, complete with laundry, cubbies for organized living and a powder dedicated for the children (complete with child’s urinal!), and a play room where children can snuggle up with their favorite book on the day bed or allow their imaginations to run wild at the arts table, all under the watchful eye of the family’s chef just feet away. Also, conveniently close yet designed for seclusion in mind sits the Parents’ Retreat – a combination private sitting and office area, a quiet refuge with views over the sweeping front lawns. This balance between large open spaces where the family can come together and smaller more intimate spaces for continue throughout the home, allow this design to flex with the ever-changing needs of its growing family. With vaulted ceilings, sumptuous trim detailing and a refined selection of finishes and furnishings, this home boasts an elegance that continues throughout making it a truly beautiful home.
