With its moss rock surfaces and floor-to-ceiling panes of glass, it is reminiscent of the designer spaces James Bond would frequent. The high-end finishes, unsurpassed construction practices, and Gorlin’s design has won this home several prestigious honors including a special feature in 100 of the World’s Best Houses.
Located in Genesee Park, just 30 minutes from downtown Denver and only an hour to Colorado’s ski resorts, the location provides the best of both worlds. Friends and family will enjoy visiting and retreating to the Rocky Mountains. But when the
professional sports teams of Denver or the performing arts at the
Buell Theatre call your name, you’ll be within easy driving distance to enjoy all that Denver has to offer.
Upon entry, natural light and style abound. The gourmet kitchen, butler’s pantry and dining room open up to the outdoors and overlook the 40’ x 26’ formal living room. This home, effortlessly built into the natural terrain, steps down the hillside allowing for massive height in the formal living room. With unobstructed views of Mt. Evans through floor-to-ceiling windows, you may find yourself left speechless.
The north tower provides four spacious guest suites, each with their own walkout access to the outdoors. The master tower is the most special of all places in the home. When you retreat to the master suite, you can be assured you will long for nothing. Glass doors lead from the master bedroom to the generous 3,000+ square foot deck overlooking Mt. Evans. The private master bath looks upon its own hillside with access to a secluded patio and hot tub.
Just above the master suite is yet another space with even more spectacular views: the office, complete with a fireplace and half bath. Go just a bit further and you will find a spiral staircase leading to the upper level rooftop with a moss-rock surrounded deck and built-in exterior fireplace. From here, you will feel as if you are on top of the world surrounded by Colorado’s finest beauty.
A separate guesthouse with private access and attached garage is perfect for entertaining out of town guests or for your live-in staff/nanny. Adorned with the same fine detail as the rest of this home, the guesthouse is spacious, bright and comfortable. The spectacular distinctions between the roughness of the outdoors and the refinement of the interior make this home a work of art. Ideally located, a joy to live in, and ideal for entertaining, this property is one to marvel.
Architectural Digest’s award-winning architect of 918 Northridge Court
Alexander Gorlin, was recently crowned a member of the
2012 AD100 List - which recognizes the top talents in architecture and interior design. Gorlin attributes
Frank Lloyd Wright and the movies of
Stanley Kubrick among his influences. As chance would have it, Kubrick often collaborated with Bond Film production designer Sir Ken Adam on lighting and aesthetic, so it is no surprise we find similar parallels in Gorlin’s work. Whether intentional or not, Gorlin has created a stunning masterpiece that captures all the excitement and modernity any true Bond fan would recognize.
