A rare opportunity to own a meticulously maintained & thoughtfully updated Paramount Heights Mid-Mod gem with timeless style, modern comfort, & sweeping mountain views.
The distinctive exterior showcases rare Ambassador brick & a bright green front door accented by an original copper-plated starburst doorknob. Inside, the main level has been thoughtfully remodeled with an open-concept layout that respects the original 1950s architecture while incorporating modern materials and dramatic sight lines. Warm 4-inch white oak hardwood floors run throughout the main level. The spacious living/dining area features oversized west-facing windows framing beautiful mountain views. A striking fireplace, clad in Lyons bacon-stripe sandstone with a custom ship-curve terrazzo hearth, includes a remote-controlled gas insert. The same graceful terrazzo curve is repeated on the kitchen island.
The remodeled kitchen features rift-cut oak cabinets and stainless appliances. Designed without upper cabinets for an airy feel, it still offers abundant storage & thoughtful layered lighting for both task work & ambiance.
Adjacent is a gorgeous, sunroom with total front range views in winter and a tree-house feel in summer. It opens to an exterior deck engineered for a hot tub.
The primary bedroom enjoys south and west natural light, generous closets, built-in dresser, & radiant heat. The attached bath includes custom built-in cabinetry. A second bedroom/den, two linen closets, powder room, and foyer complete the upper level.
The finished walk-out basement has excellent natural light & mountain views... ideal for multi-generational living, or studio/office. It includes a living/dining room with fireplace, complete second kitchen, 2 bedrooms, full bath with double sinks, and private patio with fireplace, grill, & hot tub.
The large corner lot features raised garden beds, under-deck storage, & mature trees.
A new top-of-the-line Bosch mini-split heating & AC system serves the basement.
