Location: 145 Dexter Street, Denver, Colorado

Price: $2,200,000

Year Built: 1966

Footprint: 3,054 square feet (four bedrooms, three baths)

Lot Size: 0.23 acres

From the Agent: "Listed for the first time since its creation, this residence is an enduring midcentury-modern masterpiece. The layout of the home radiates from an open-concept living area. This floor encapsulates the essence of the era with linear forms that are contrasted by patterns of dappled light and a quintessential, yet approachable conversation pit ideal for everyday use. Above the main floor is a cross-shaped walkway suspended so that residents in every upper-level room can peer down into the living area from shuttered openings. Natural light is available from all four walls in each of these private oases. At the axes of the walkway are built-in planters that further emphasize the home’s biophilic nature; a motif expertly crafted by Richard Quinn of Ream Architects."

The home is crafted from wood, glass, and metal and set on a private, fenced-in lot complete with mature trees, a lush lawn, and raised garden beds.
