DENVER—Nov. 15, 2010—The marriage of art, fine design and history has produced an extraordinary opportunity for a homebuyer looking to purchase a one-of-a-kind home.
The Sanctuary Residence at 2401 E. Fifth Ave. (5th and Josephine) in Cherry Creek North was recently listed by Rachel Betz of Keller Williams Executives Realty. The historic Sanctuary was built in 1903 as a church, served as a children’s school and community center, as the residence/studio for renowned artist Ramon Kelley, and most recently as a single family residence.
The 5,200-sq. ft. home was recently remodeled by Don Ruggles of DHR Architecture to offer its new owner the epitome of comfortable, luxurious living. As you enter the home through its marble mosaic entry, you’re immediately struck by its luxury and splendor. The open floor plan on the main level--with 35-ft. high ceilings, wooden beams and 25-ft. high solid marble fireplace--provides the perfect spot for entertaining guests.
The floors are solid walnut with maple inlays, and antiques from around the world have been hand-selected and integrated throughout the home to give it a truly one-of-a-kind allure. The gourmet kitchen features stunning solid marble countertops, Viking appliances and an adjoining caterer’s kitchen.
When entertaining, you’ll want your parties to spill over from the main level into the lower level so your guests can enjoy the bar with custom wine cellar and media room. A solid marble staircase takes you to this lower level as well as to the second floor where the master suite loft awaits.
The centerpiece of the master suite loft is its dramatic stained glass window, which can be lit from outside or inside. It also features skylights, five-piece bath with dual sinks and two large walk-in closets.
“No detail has been overlooked in making this home luxurious, relaxing and truly unique,” says Betz. “It’s the perfect home for entertaining or providing the quiet solitude for evenings at home.”
Saint John’s Gardens is the premier, boutique multi-family development in Cherry Creek North. The community offers carefree lifestyle of maintenance-free living with an exquisite level of finish found within its secure walls. The intimate, gated community offers, patios, balconies and courtyards that focus inward on the fabulous fountains and planting beds. An underground parking structure provides a high level of security, and three parking spaces are included in the purchase price of the Sanctuary Residence.
The HOA fee includes external building and roof maintenance, insurance, snow removal, trash removal, water, sewer and grounds maintenance—turn key for traveling.
The Sanctuary Residence is exceptionally priced at $2,295,000 and special 4 percent financing is available. The home is open for viewing on Sundays from noon to 2 p.m., or by private appointment by contacting Rachel Betz at 303-907-2613 or RachelBetz@RachelBetz.com.
