A super RARE find in the heart of DTC. It's legal address: 'Lot 1 PEAK VIEW' says it all. This home was built by the Owner and moved to this location in the 60's. This charming and well-loved home has been here for quite some time. Before the high-rises, shopping, dining, and most roads. The property is in an exceptional location; it is attached to city sewer and water. Included is an attached Eruv for the local community (homeowner is not required to keep or do anything if it stays). Almost a full acre of flat open space. She's peppered with mature trees along its edges and an outdoor pool *not working. The interior will bring anyone back to the shag carpet, mid-century style and charm of the 50's and 60's. Many original appliances in the kitchen, boiler system in the basement for heating etc. This home is not for an inexperienced Buyer. Inspections are welcomed but Sellers are firm on selling as-is, no exceptions. Cash Only, patient Buyers please. All info is deemed reliable but is not guaranteed.

This is a very rare, authentic Mid-Century Modern home on over 2 acres in the prestigious Cherry Hills Village. Built in 1960 by renowned architect, Bruce Sutherland, a former student of Frank Lloyd Wright's as stated by the Denver Post 2022. This home boasts the classic Rhyolite Stone exterior that Sutherland often used in his numerous modernist designs throughout Colorado. The elevation evokes a nostalgic Palm Springs aesthetic with a true Usonian exterior that accents architecturally clean lines and sharp geometry. The 3 sided glass exposure of the home surrounding the pool is very reminiscent of the Iconic Slim Aarons "Poolside Gossip" photograph of Richard Neutra's famous Palm Springs design. The interior is true to form with classic post and beam framing and a vaulted ceiling with a massive glass wall connecting the interior living to the outside pool. The show stopper inside is the 3 sided stone fireplace complete with an authentic built in conversation bench for a 1960s living room feel. This home has incredible potential to be brought into current times with period specific vision. Interior and exterior concept renderings are provided by MAD lead designer and Listing Agent, who has personally owned and designed her own Bruce Sutherland home previously.
