Montclair neighborhood just west of Lowry has lots going for it, including good access to Lowry’s Town Center, lower prices than much of the surrounding area, along with some of Denver’s most eclectic architecture…such as a contemporary house you can tour this afternoon that could as likely be a few blocks off Hollywood Boulevard as Denver.

Mable Sutton of Leonard-Leonard & Associates, who partners John Patterson, has the listing on 7070 Richthofen, with modern architecture in Montclair.

Realtors aren’t sure who designed 7070 Richthofen Parkway, built in 1978…but it might have been lifted from Dr. Seuss–modern, and more than a little offbeat, even some rococo twists and turns. “It’s a perfect single-family alternative for somebody who might want a loft, but doesn’t want an HOA,” says Realtor Mable Sutton of Leonard Leonard, who’s partnering on the listing with David Patterson.

It’s over 1,700 feet finished…on three levels…well, make that four…well actually, make that six. Entry on one level…then step downs to a sunken living room with fireplace; to a kitchen dining area; up to a dining room; a secondary bedroom/bath on its own level; an office on another; and a wandering master that’s all by itself.
Including the master, most have open overlooks of the areas below. Cat-in-the-Hat style, you can rise from the master designer tub and, without bothering to put on a towel, wave to your guests in the living room below!
You can also exit the bedroom or study onto balconies that lead by steel staircase to a rooftop deck, tucked up against an arched skylight from the entry area below. The kitchen has had a recent makeover in Euro-style cabinets, tile walls, stainless appliances and a basin-style sink. There’s a covered carport and a big basement for storage.
No. 7070 is two blocks from Montclair Park…just as close to two others. Sutton likes Lowry’s Town Center with its shopping, dining and coffee places, a 12-block walk. “Town Center has locally owned, mom-and-pop places,” she added. “It helps the economy for people to be spending money close to home.”
The house is priced at $479,000.
