The architect designed this home at 801 S. Gilpin Street in the “Prairie Style” made famous by Frank Lloyd Wright, with large roof overhangs, ribbon windows and glass brick. Chuck Brown just listed it for $1,897,000. Built in 1994 with 2×6 exterior walls, it’s located in the heart of the Washington Park neighborhood and has at least two features Wright couldn’t incorporate — Cat5 ethernet wiring and a 5-kW solar PV system which combines with the home’s passive solar design to make it highly energy efficient. The primary bedroom is on the main level with two guest bedrooms, one with wood flooring, and full bath on the second floor. The 1,000-sq.-ft. basement is 2/3 finished, with a large entertainment room and 4th bedroom plus full bath and lots of storage. On the main floor is an office with built-in desk, shelving and wall cabinets plus a private entrance, making this an ideal home for a professional or other work-at-home situation. It could be adapted for a mother-in-law, au pair, or other use, too. There will be no open house, so call your agent or listing agent Chuck Brown at 303-885-7855 to arrange a private showing.
