160 N Humboldt Street

A rare find - this beautifully renovated midcentury modern home on a 1/3+ acre lot is now available in the Country Club Historic neighborhood. In 2012, the architect owner and her husband took this unique home lot down to the studs, replaced all the systems and brought the home back to its mid-century roots. The result is extraordinary and has been published in both 5280 Home and Colorado Homes & Lifestyles magazines. Originally, a carriage house belonging to the neighboring Georgian sat on this property. In 1956, architect Paul Atchison (worked for Jacques Benedict and Temple Buell) designed the current home for himself. Over the years it has been expanded and remodeled before finding its way into the able hands of the current owners. Spacious rooms now flow easily to the outdoor covered patio and sunny yard through a NanaWall. The original brick and terrazzo fireplace has been uncovered and refurbished. The walls have been painted a crisp white for displaying large scale art. The EKD kitchen with its handsome walnut cabinetry and Calcutta Gold Honeymoon marble counters is fitting for the period and super functional. It opens up to the family room, formal dining room and south patio. There is sleeping room for everyone with five large bedrooms (including an office with bathroom) on the second floor and a main floor guest suite. The study is lined with bookshelves and built-in workstations. Two attached garages hold three cars. Improvements include Lutron lighting * radiant floor heat * high velocity air conditioning * built-in speakers * recently updated/ permitted well provides irrigation water. Sunny yard with pretty plantings, mature trees and huge front lawn perfect for soccer and lacrosse. Prepare for evenings spent enjoying the lovely Colorado weather on the covered patio. Surrounded by the city's most distinctive historic homes, this gorgeous home is a short stroll to the boutiques and restaurants of Cherry Creek North.
