This is Part 2 of my 3-part Rooted Living Home Tour exploring Arapahoe Acres, one of Colorado's most significant mid-century modern communities.

Designed within the legacy of architect Edward Hawkins, the Kern House embodies the principles that made Arapahoe Acres so distinctive: seamless indoor-outdoor living, thoughtful use of natural materials, and architecture designed around the landscape.

Inside, you'll find mahogany-paneled walls, exposed wood beams, tongue-and-groove ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, and a beautifully updated kitchen that respects the home's original design. Outside, mature trees, modern concrete pavers, and a private fire pit create a peaceful backyard retreat.

Arapahoe Acres is more than a neighborhood—it's a community built around modern architecture, preservation, thoughtful design, and the relationship between home and landscape.

I'm Erica Elvove, a Denver-area real estate agent with LUX Real Estate. Through Rooted Living Home Tours, I explore distinctive Colorado homes and neighborhoods, with a focus on architecture, sustainability, outdoor living, thoughtful design, and homes that fit the way people want to live.

Would you choose a beautifully preserved mid-century modern home or a brand-new build? Thinking about buying or selling in Denver, Englewood, or the surrounding area? I'm always happy to be a resource.
