About the Home: "This is a not-to-be-missed midcentury-modern home, located in Denver's Krisana Park, with all the bells and whistles—thanks to a top-notch remodel. This Eichler-framed home—designed by architect Frenchie Gratts and built by Eichler understudy H.B. Wolff—artfully connects two gracious and private outdoor spaces, bolstering and blending the beauty of the landscape with the interior design. Walls of glass on the south and east side of the home help the outdoor and indoor spaces to seamlessly flow. A retractable fence in the front of the house opens to connect the yard with the lanai. The home also includes: a chef's kitchen with ample storage; a 500-square-foot addition which added a gracious entry, a second family room, a study/den/flex space, and full laundry/storage area; and a primary suite with floor-to-ceiling sliders overlooking a private deck. James Turrel–inspired skylights bring the sunshine inside all year round."
The one-level residence sits nestled in Denver’s Krisana Park, an enclave of 175 Eichler-inspired properties developed by H.B. Wolff from 1954-57. Native vegetation pops against the home’s black facade.
Black accents continue inside, where an open layout merges the living areas.
Hamilton preserved the home’s classic Eichler frame while introducing more natural light with larger windows and glass doors. "Creating seamless indoor/outdoor living was key," he says. "We opened more skylights, inspired by James Turell, and lightened all the original floors."
The primary bedroom opens directly to the fenced-in backyard.
In addition to a lush lawn, the backyard also offers a partially covered seating and grill area.
