Property Description
Welcome to the Kern House, an exceptional example of Usonian modernism in the legendary Arapahoe Acres neighborhood. This is a rare opportunity to live inside a piece of Denver's architectural history, as this was the first mid-century modern neighborhood to be listed in the U.S. on the National Register of Historic Places, and it remains a tight-knit community coveted by mid-century modern lovers nationwide. Organic materiality defines this home with tongue-and-groove ceilings with exposed wood beams, warm mahogany woodwork throughout, and beautiful slate tile work. Floor-to-ceiling windows create a strong indoor-outdoor connection, flooding every room with abundant natural sunlight. A recently remodeled kitchen (2024) blends modern convenience with the home's original design. Originally designed by neighborhood architect Edward Hawkins, the home boasts a spacious family room addition that Hawkins later also designed himself in the mid-century. The primary bedroom is spacious, warmed by a new gas fireplace, and framed by a striking wall of floor-to-ceiling glass windows overlooking the backyard. The furnace, AC, water heater, and windows have all been updated in the last five years. Outside, the private yard continues to reflect modernist design principles with concrete pavers, mature trees, and a fire pit made for cool Colorado evenings. A 1-car attached carport completes the property, next to the home's signature orange gate. This home is more than just a place to live. It's a preserved piece of design history, ready for its next steward. Conveniently in south-central Denver, minutes from Swedish Medical Center, coffee shops, and more.
