One-of-a-Kind Find

Henry drew details for the remodel from the original house: a floating vanity in the master bath echoes a similar feature in the extraordinary glass-walled powder room; the new office addition blends in seamlessly with the help of flagstone flooring from the same quarry used years ago. Furniture and art were selected specifically for this house with help from designers John Moinzad and David Hintgen of AERA Interiors.

The landscape redesign incorporates new trees, shrubs and brightly blooming perennials—all of which soften the contemporary architecture and make the most of the courtyard, patios and decks that are an integral part of the home.

“Jan has a good design sense,” Henry says. “I think everything she did enhanced the original house.”

Now, with her family grown, Nelsen is placing the property on the market. As a real-estate professional, she understands the appeal of a turnkey property. As a homeowner, she appreciates the unique appeal of this particular luxury home. “The master is on the main level, the finishes are all very high-end, the floors are luxuriously heated, there are great walls for art, wonderful outdoor spaces and there isn't anything that needs to be done,” she says. And the location can't be beat—it is three blocks from restaurants, shops, food markets and everything Cherry Creek North has to offer.

Because the interior design and art are so in-tune with the architecture, Nelsen is offering the house for sale with two options: unfurnished for $1,650,000 or furnished (including art, furniture and electronics) for $1,775,000.
