1950 south milwaukee street
oasis in the city
A peaceful sanctuary, a convenient location, a place to thrive. Arriving at a Japanese Torii gate, lovely landscaping envelops a gracious and intriguing dwelling. The entrance reveals spacious entertaining spaces and a gourmet kitchen, as well as a private and comfortable haven in which to pursue hobbies and work, or rejuvenate and escape the city bustle.
Positioned on two combined lots, the home embraces natural materials, concrete tile roofs, copper accents, and beautiful Colorado flagstone. Expansive windows frame garden and water views, and patios offer space to entertain or enjoy the sounds of the waterfalls while cooking or gardening. Mature trees, colorful flowers and shrubs grace the grounds and a wall protects and defines the property.
An Asian style permeates the home with simplicity and serenity. Feng shui principles are incorporated in the design and décor.
The kitchen is a gourmet dream, with superior stainless appliances, beautiful wood cabinets and handsome granite counters. Whether entertaining a gathering of friends or a simple meal for two, it is the heart of the home. A spacious dining area and inviting patios can accommodate a crowd, or one can relax in front of the fireplace and enjoy the built-in theater.
A bridge over a koi pond connects a private and serene master suite and bath featuring a copper soaking tub and large walk-in closet. Organic materials and Shoji screen window coverings create a restful, private atmosphere.
Capped by a stunning glazed glass roof, an art studio, greenhouse, or work space, shows off 360-degree treetop views. Appreciate the heavens, the changing seasons or the greenery while working, meditating or playing.
