Most Wash Park home lots limit what one can do when building, but this home had an expansive 13,000 square foot lot to work with. The result is a one of a kind stunning custom L-shaped home.

While incredibly spacious, this home’s transitional design makes it feel warm, inviting, and approachable. Intentional elements, such as having clean sight lines from the foyer through the living space and into the backyard help foster that sense of warmth. Glass wall partitions open completely to create an indoor-outdoor oasis. As you enter the living space your eye is drawn up to vaulted wood ceilings, yet the fireplace and decorative window treatments make the room feel cozy and comfortable. Tucked off to the side is an office with custom bookcases featuring a secret storage panel.

The living room flows comfortably into the dining area with a geometric brass light fixture. An oversized white and wood accent kitchen with peninsula and island is a chef’s dream. The combination of full height cabinetry and open wood shelving blend sophistication and approachability. An eating nook and desk are off to one side, and a mudroom and powder room are adjacent to the three-car garage. An additional spacious ADU is accessible from this part of the home.

House guests may never leave when staying in this lower level sanctuary. A playroom, fitness center, bar and wine room, along with an en suite guest room create a perfect retreat. The stairs (or elevator) take guests to the home's upper levels.

From the banister, you can peer over the living space as you make your way to the primary bedroom. A large capiz chandelier hangs over this well-appointed room which overlooks this expansive yard. A spacious walk-in closet and bathroom with geometric wall tiled shower, free standing soaking tub, and black finish hardware complete the look.

A large laundry room is on this floor and is situated next to a sunken playroom that overlooks the front of the home. In addition, this floor features two sizable children’s bedrooms with walk-in closets and en-suite bathrooms.

A truly unique feature is that this home has an additional level. Here we find an industrial rustic bedroom and bathroom with a walkout balcony and spectacular western views toward the mountains.

This custom home that offers stylish, blended design elements coupled with beautiful hardwood, distinct lighting selections and bespoke window treatments is a must see on this year’s Home Tour.

“Architecture is the thoughtful making of space.” Louis Kahn

Brick, limestone, cedar, and powder coated metal marry to highlight this modern home exterior. Vertical metal slats and perforated stone function to allow light in while working as a privacy screen, creating a visual cadence noticeable from both the exterior and interior.

Custom sliding doors with stained glass both serve as art and function to separate the space that serves as an office or guest room. Next to this room is a ¾ bathroom with full slab marbled porcelain and custom vanity.

The intention of the architecture draws visitors to embrace the south facing full height glass panels, drawing attention and opening to the courtyard and landscaping on this oversized lot. The dining room features a cedar slat ceiling that flows to the exterior as the soffit over the patio. This room is divided from the living room with a limestone partition and custom millwork that functions as a buffet with integrated storage and wine rack.

The other side of the limestone is a divider that extends two stories and is aligned with the width of the staircase. This opens to the kitchen featuring custom cherry cabinets with appliance garage, integrated mudroom door, and geometric Ann Sacks tile that serves as a backsplash and complements the tones of the Nuvolato quartzite countertops. This finish is repeated with a waterfall edge on an oversized island and custom table for casual dining. Behind the kitchen is a pantry and homework station. Off the kitchen is a family music room with built-ins that serve as a library.

An open riser staircase showcases the mixed materials and is highlighted with a unique organic glass light fixture with illuminating copper undertones. The view from the landing to the lower level is as dynamic as it is when looking up. From here, you can see the architectural details such as the band that divides the floors and aligns with the limestone of the fireplace.

The sightline to the primary suite showcases the sculptural forms of the free-standing Kohler soaking tub with glass panel surround. Sophisticated herringbone floor tile is elegant and transitions seamlessly into the shower. The color pallet is carried over to the primary bedroom with captivating mountain views from both the interior and on the attached deck. From the deck, guests have a view of Pikes Peak and evening views of the up-lit Williams Tower at the University of Denver.

A shared bathroom with separate toilet room and textured tile and clearstory windows is down the hall from the two additional bedrooms. The rooms are both colorful and uniquely incorporate a closet with a loft above. The larger bedroom has this positioned as a room divider.

This home harmonizes perfection of scale, intriguing volumes, purposeful design, and meticulous detail and is unlike any that has been featured on previous Home Tours.

550 South York Street

A designer’s playground, this home incorporates a multitude of fun colors and print textiles to invoke joy and seamlessly blend aesthetics—starting with the painted white brick Tudor exterior inviting guests in through a bubblegum pink front door.

Light hard wood floors, reminiscent of the 1920’s originals, carry through the main level opposite massive, vaulted ceilings that create a feeling of space and airiness. The primary living room area boasts a vibrant blue starburst floor tile leading up to a contrasting white hexagon tile surrounding the fireplace as its focal point. The modern color is juxtaposed to an original, leaded glass arched window that looks out over the front of the home. This seating area effortlessly transitions into the dining space and on to the kitchen, which has its own breakfast nook. The kitchen celebrates color with its bright green cabinets on one side standing opposite to more traditional white, glass front cabinets on the other. Traditional herringbone patterned floors and brass fixtures are balanced with a modern square range hood framed in the same quartz as that used on the counters.

Unique snake wallpaper adorns the walls of a powder room located on the way to the primary bedroom, where black and white mix to be anything but conventional. The room is separated from a beautiful five-piece bathroom and walk-in closet by a barn door, playfully decorated with a floral black and white pattern. The bathroom itself invites long, relaxing baths in a free-standing tub over which hangs a crystal burst chandelier. Variable uniformity fuses through black, white, and grey hexagon floor tiles, white subway shower tiles separated by dark grey grout, and a glass surround rainfall shower. The main floor finishes off with another bedroom embellished with striped wallpaper on the ceiling and featuring its own ensuite, which adopts rich blue colors on the ceiling and in its geometric tiles.

The newly enlarged lower level showcases high ceilings and a circular design. Black and white geometric wallpaper and jewel-toned ceiling color carries characteristics of the main level into the primary living room below. French doors open into an animated yoga studio set to the backdrop of “New York Yoga City Girl” wallpaper. Continuing through the yoga studio, guests find the only laundry room to ever suggest doing laundry was fun. Vivacious magenta cabinets combine with black and white floral wallpaper and white penny floor tile. Further around the circle is a sizable third bedroom framed by coral color walls and bold wallpaper design, beyond which guests finish out the circle by a well-appointed bathroom.

This home is fun and fantastic.

501 South Race Street

This home is a marriage of old and new. Taking a note from the old Denver warehouse architecture in LoDo, it blends the old Italianate design of “traditional” brick, flat roofs, and Belvedere-style tower with the modern aluminum siding and roof to create something altogether unique. The interior was smartly designed around its triple-height void topped by skylights that bring abundant light to all floors of the home.

The main level features an office set apart from, but integrated into the living space by its geometric wallpaper framing the ceiling and a set of clerestory-style windows. The white birch floors draw you through the living and dining space to the galley butler pantry and into the beautiful kitchen, featuring a marble waterfall island countertop, metal farmhouse sink, and a refrigerator and freezer that disappear into the design. Paneled walls and pine wood accents carry throughout to a neatly conceived seating area at the back of the home where light is creatively invited into the home through an inside/outside fireplace. And a striking half bath lined with iridescent black and silver wallpaper rounds out the main floor.

The open railing staircase invites guests to choose their own adventure: downstairs to a well-appointed lower level featuring a beetle-K*ll pine accent wall, entertainment area, a spacious guest bedroom, and full bath or up to the intermediate level featuring the primary and two additional bedrooms. The primary bedroom features an architecturally creative vaulted ceiling and blends first floor characteristics, including the paneled walls and marble, into it and the luxurious primary bathroom. The corridor hallway accented by wainscoting leads to two sizable bedrooms, each having its own ensuite three-quarter bath and walk-in closet.

The third floor rewards the effort of climbing. Home to a second office space and three-quarter bath with intricate Spanish tile floors, the highlight is the home’s balcony. Perched alongside the gable aluminum roof, the balcony contains prime seating to take in coffee and a sunrise to the east or an evening cocktail and sunset over the Rocky Mountains to the west.

Regardless of where you wander, the whole house features local artists and installation pieces sure to engender hometown sentiments.
