Arapahoe Acres, a personal favorite. - SOLD

This has always been one of my favorite homes in Arapahoe Acres. It's tucked into a nice corner lot, has a sizable backyard, and has some of the best lines in the neighborhood.
3060 S. Cornell Circle Listed by Rebekah Brock of Prestige Real Estate Group, LLC. You can reach here at 303-831-1160 for more information. Here's the description she sent me.

A+ 50’s contemporary! 1542’ 3 bed/2 bath/rare 2-car home w/ period mahogany, cork floors, skylights, tons of light, updated kit & baths, stainless steel appliances, sprinklers, halogen lighting. Beautiful treed lot & landscaping.

True contemporary style by Edward B. Hawkens, architect. Beautiful large lot w/ plush landscaping, brick walks, fountain, & shaded grassy area offers plenty of privacy and entertaining opportunities. Beautiful 50’s period home with low sloping roofline offers vaulted ceilings inside w/ large double paned windows – giving the inside a feeling of being outside. Newer cork floors, laid in Rittenhouse fashion, run through-out the home. Stone tile flooring is offered in the updated bathrooms. Mahogany kitchen cabinets, tile backsplash and stainless steel appliances offer a modern look to the period kitchen, which is open to the eating area and fire-placed living room. A skylighted office/studio looks out into the lush courtyard and into the home. Natural light filters into and through the rooms.

The homes in the area are from a Usonian style of architecture which is based on Frank Lloyd Wright's concept of Naturalism. Each home is seen as having a "natural" solution derived from its function and site. Naturalism is, in this sense, closely associated with functionalism. The influence of traditional Japanese architecture is also seen in the Usonian style. They share open floor plans, flowing interiors, an abundance of natural light, overhanging eaves and shallow pitch roofs. All of which are evident in 3060 S. Cornell.

Willow Springs Beauty


This is a great house in an awsome location. I personaly live near here and it's the best of both worlds. Close to town yet even closer to the mountains. Here's the description that the Perlowski/Guth Team sent me.
THE LAROCK HOUSE
WILLOW SPRINGS
16525 Wild Berry Rd., Morrison,CO

This contemporary Southwestern award winning Architect's family home is nestled into a stunning Red Rocks formation just 25 minutes Southwest of both downtown Denver and the Denver Tech Center. This foothills home is also located with easy access to mountain recreation. The stunning architectural design captures private views onto the 300 million year old Red Rock formation, the 1000 acre community maintained open space, as well as golf course views and Denver city lights.

This foothills community offers Red Rocks Country Club, hiking, mountain biking, golf, tennis, swimming, fishing, and horseback riding. Every day you will experience natural light, clear, fresh mountain air, and stunning natural beauty from indoors through the 65 windows, designed for both view and solar gain, or outdoors which offers 1,700 SF of outdoor living space including roof decks and flagstone patios. The panoramic views take in native landscaping frequently visited by deer, elk, coyote and fox.

The multi-level home integrates into the site as well as providing for a guest room wing, and a master suite which occupies the entire top floor. The library which is adjacent to the master bedroom leads to a roof deck which affords a panoramic view. The garden level has been designed to serve as a separate apartment, complete with private bath and kitchenette.

Awards include the 1996 Stucco Manufacturers Association Residential Stucco Silver Award for OVERALL EXCELLENCE, recognizing the complementary choice of red stucco to mirror the red-rock formation surrounding the home. Mr. LaRock was also chosen for the 1999 Architect's Choice Award sponsored by the Colorado Chapter of AIA and the Denver Rocky Mountain News for OUTSTANDING PROJECTS, receiving FIRST PLACE for ENERGY EFFICIENCY
