From the Agent: "A testament to midcentury-modern resplendence takes hold within this Cherry Hills Heights rarity. Named the Alpert House after the first owners, the home was designed by prominent architect Richard Crowther and lovingly restored to uphold the time-honored motif, blurring the lines between what is new and what is original. Extensive woodwork and statement features collectively reinforce the timeless composition. Floor-to-ceiling glass immerses the home in natural light while beckoning residents outdoors to a verdant oasis. A minimalist kitchen discreetly camouflages the luxury appliances while a series of hidden pocket doors allow residents to morph the floor plan as they see fit. Private hideaways offer a glimpse into a storied past with thoughtfully curated original bathroom fixtures. This residence is a cherished token of Denver’s midcentury-modern history."
