Open for admiration! Welcome to South Dahlia Lane...

Live in a truly unique home in one of the Denver area’s most unique neighborhoods.

The original tri-level home was designed by legendary Denver architect Eugene Sternberg, whose career included many great commercial and residential buildings across the city and suburbs. Sternberg designed “The Lane” (as residents lovingly call this enclave) and all of the original homes in it, with this house being the largest model. The home was owned by one of the founders of the mid-20th century Denver furniture dealer Bethune & Moore.

The original tri-level is a modest home with 5 bedrooms, 2 full baths, a family room with a window wall and soaring vaulted ceiling and open plan that includes a dining area, a vintage kitchen, and a dedicated laundry room.

In addition to the original house, which is in many ways a time-capsule of its original design, several additions were made, including a detached two-car garage, an unfinished workshop connected by a covered breezeway, and an absolutely striking modern pavilion in back.

The pavilion is what take this house from great to extraordinary. A glass walkway (made breezeway by opening the large sliding doors on both sides) leads to a 3-room pavilion built of brick and glass, and naturally lit by large skylights. The two main rooms of the pavilion are spacious, and are connected to the outdoors sliding window walls that stretch wall-to-wall. In the center is a full bathroom. Designed with flexibility in mind, the pavilion could be used for entertaining, a guest suite, a spacious office, playroom, or so much more.

South Dahlia Lane is one of the most unique neighborhoods you will find in Denver. Built around a private central green that is restricted to residents and their guests, you have a private park just a few hundred feet from your front door that includes a playground, small amphitheater, and a large green space for relaxation or play!

Home features:

  • 2,500 square feet.

  • 6 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms

  • 9,583 square foot lot

  • Unincorporated Arapahoe County and Cherry Creek School District, yet centrally located and surrounded by Denver.

  • Unique and historic neighborhood with private green and tennis court

  • Original tri-level designed by Eugene Sternberg

  • 5 bedrooms in the original house with an optional 6th bedroom in the pavilion.

  • Vintage kitchen cabinets.

  • High vaulted ceiling and window wall in the living room.

  • Oak flooring in the upstairs bedrooms.

  • Ultra-modern pavilion addition with large sliding window-walls and a third full bath.

  • Hydronic floorboard heating

  • 2-car detached garage

  • Detached workshop, connected by breezeway

  • Much more!
