Poised in a park-like setting, a captivating exterior beckons residents inward to a sprawling five-bedroom layout. Eyes are drawn upward to soaring 15-foot ceilings as hardwood flooring  conceals radiant floor heating. A bright canvas layered with neutrals and warm wood elements balances dramatic black accents throughout. The lines between indoor and out are blurred with an array of expansive windows and sliding glass walls. Culinary creativity is energized in a sculptural kitchen showcasing Miele appliances and Dorado Soapstone countertops and island. This home is the recipient of the following awards: AIA Colorado Award of Excellence , AIA Colorado Award of Distinction, RED Awards Regional Winner for Contemporary/Modern Architecture in Colorado."
