Property Description

After learning from the giant, Eugene Sternberg, Gerry Dion worked with Edward Hawkins on the famed Arapahoe Acres Development in Englewood, CO. The home keeps its original footprint, and most all the original details inside the home. Including the wood paneled walls and ceilings, kitchen, and bathrooms. The main hallway of this home feels as if it goes on forever all while passing walls of glass, keeping the occupants connected with the outside world-true to the theories of modernism. Perfect vignette window placements in each room bring in ample natural light, and once again bring the outdoors into every room of this masterpiece home. A common bathroom in the hallway has the drama of height enhanced by the wood grid that draws ones eye up. The main area of the home has unpainted, wood paneling, while the bedroom/living side has painted (originally) ceiling- discerning the two areas of the home. The gable roof lines meet in the primary bedroom, leaving the exposed adjoining angles for admiration by all that see the precisely milled and adjoined angles. The primary bedroom boasts a full room length closet, providing ample storage. As well as a time capsule en-suite bathroom. With another wood grid to show the dramatic height of the room. But the true show stopper of this home is the main living area+ a fireplace adorned with a copper hood, built in hi-fi speaker spot and storage, as well as doors to the courtyard and side yard- this was the true center of the modernist world. Oriented with privacy from the street, and from the front door, this room had glass walls facing the side yard, and the courtyard to connect the in and out, while blocking off all street view, leaving the occupants feeling like they were truly in their own oasis in the city. And, stepping outside to the 11,000sf+ lot (with the home being situated closer to the NW corner os the lot), there is ample space for spreading ones wings on the wide open space this large lot affords. History you can own.
