From the Agent: "This midcentury-modern masterpiece, nestled amongst beautiful mature trees is now available after 40 years. As featured in Midcentury-Modern Homes of Denver, this architectural and structural example of expressionism with classic post-and-beam styling must be seen by those looking for a very special opportunity. The spacious rooms with vaulted ceilings and clerestory windows are filled with original custom wood paneling and cabinetry, and walls of windows across the entire back of the home lead to covered patios on two sides. There is an additional bedroom with en suite bath, two powder rooms, and a large laundry area, as well as a finished basement with a nonconforming bedroom and three-quarter bathroom."
