3228 S Clarkson St, Englewood, Colorado, 80113✴︎ 3 Bed ✴︎ 2.5 Bathroom ✴︎ 2 Car Garage
✴︎ 2,150 Sqft ✴︎ 9,845 Sqft LotThis property is made special, not by the design of the home or the size of the land but by how the two have been interplayed to create a home and landscape that celebrates the spirit of each season and employs porous edges to allow life to seamlessly unfurl between.
Dubbed the “House of Moving Light”, or "Rainbow House” this three-bed, two-and-a-half-bath home on just under a quarter of an acre is a rare find.
This urban oasis has been meticulously renovated by the current owners, whose attention to detail, internationally-influenced design sensibility, and choice in materiality, fixtures, and fittings give discerning buyers a chance to secure a truly unique property in the Denver market.
As you approach the home, the bold exterior, partially wrapped in Japanese-style Shou Sugi Ban cladding, hints of something special inside. Upon entry, you are greeted by a light-filled, expansive central volume, boasting 12-foot vaulted baltic birch ceilings and an open-concept living area.
Underfoot, honey maple hardwood flooring threads connections between the main living and entertainment areas, and glimpses the green space beyond. A Mustard Made locker serving as a coat closet, and a powder room featuring a custom-made pink concrete pillar sink is a nod to the home’s one-of-a-kind design choices.
The kitchen-dining area is the heart of this home.
Hand-poured terrazzo countertops, Japanese kit-kat tiles, and tongue and groove paneling frame the stunning open-concept kitchen. GE Café and top-of-the-range Samsung appliances make entertaining an absolute joy.
A birch-ply floating shelve and book nook seamlessly weave the home’s material palette into the space. An oversized brass sink and tapware are the crowning glory of the space. A thoughtfully placed passthrough window frames the outdoor entertainment space and garden beyond, beckoning you to come out and play.
Understated yet delightful, the primary bedroom occupies the south pavilion of the home, inviting year-round light into another lofty, vaulted space. The curved archway leading into the primary “spathroom” is another delightful design element that is replicated throughout the home.
Morning light filters through the primary bedroom casting rainbows into the sanctuary.

The inky green tile sitting atop underfloor heating, provides a dreamy backdrop to a zero-entry shower and oversized Roman Tub, accented by designer brass fixtures and progressive mixers which serve as the room’s jewelry.
The teak vanity and rose granite countertop add an element of whimsy to the space. Western sunsets make end-of-day showers a truly magical experience. Topped off by a patio door leading to a private back deck and hot tub this space feels like a warm hug.

The upper level of the north pavilion hosts an additional two bedrooms and a family bathroom. The bedrooms feature wool carpet and custom birch ply and cane-fronted wardrobes.
Enter through an arched pocket door to a family bathroom encased in encaustic tile from Clé Tile. No detail has been spared with cleverly positioned designer tapware, an in-wall mounted toilet, and a custom wood-clad vanity featuring Semi-Handmade cabinets.
The lower level features a laundry and an office or flex space. The flex space is complete with custom birch ply built-ins, a daybench reading nook, and additional cupboard for storage. Through a statement archway, the flex space leads to a beautiful laundry with champaign colored, stacked Samsung washer and dryer duo, anchored by custom terrazzo countertops, and a large stainless sink with a gooseneck tap.
The extensive oversized storage in matching birch ply cabinetry with a mega-peg wall and hanging area makes the mundane task of laundry a breeze.
Deep cove birch ply window sills in both spaces provide a mirrored architectural portal to the manicured gardens beyond.
