Two years after completion, the first custom home to be built in a new Belcaro gated community has hit the market for $7.5 million.
The 8,225-square-foot mansion at 2610 E. Cedar Ave. within the Estates on Cedar Avenue was designed by Denver-based Boss Architecture and built by Littleton-based Montare Builders in 2019. It is one of six within the gated enclave, and two more are under construction.
Owners Joshua and Kathryn Whalen purchased the property for $1.15 million in 2017, according to property records. Joshua is the CEO of Denver-based Kinetic Medical, a medical device distribution firm, according to his LinkedIn. The central courtyard can be seen from almost every room on the main and second floors.
Boss Architecture’s design was inspired by residences from around the world, according to Modern In Denver . The mysterious exterior has no windows but features a perforated metal screen that creates patterns of light in the entryway, as if through the leaves of a tree, according to the listing. The home was designed around a private central courtyard that can be seen from almost every room. Its light, open interior features floor-to-ceiling windows, soaring nine to 12-inch ceilings, and designer light fixtures.
“We can’t just do one showing in this home because we want to let people experience this,” said listing agent Audrey Hoholik with Milehimodern. “It’s almost like walking through a museum because everything is so intentional that it just comes off as a masterpiece. But it’s also comfortable and easily livable at the same time.”
