The hot market for real estate that's followed the Covid pandemic is reaching beyond the range of suburban single-fami-ly homes, generating interest in very urban properties, as well—ones that show advan-tages for a new world of work-from-home. RE/MAX Masters agent Arnie Stein will show you one of those by appointmen­t in Cherry Creek's landmark Monroe Pointe building—the one that shows contem-porary ship's-prow architectu­re across Cherry Creek N. Drive from the Cherry Creek Trail corridor.

Suite 405 at Monroe Pointe is a rare double-unit, custom designed from two footprints on the building's fourth floor, and incorporat­ing that iconic point that juts out on the building's south side, into its floor plan The unit is high enough, Stein notes, to provide views across the top of the park to the mountains; and picks up southerly views as well.

Stein, who put the home on the market this past week, was pleasantly surprised to get a rush of showings when it went live, some to people right in the building waiting to move up. The price, $2.150 million, is right in line with ac-tivity this year, he says. One just went under contract at Monroe Pointe for $1.7 million, without the exceptiona­l size this one has—over 3,200 sq. feet.

Work-from-home space

In addition to its two bedrooms, the unit also shows attractive locations for WFH—including a huge, nicely appoint-ed study with loads of built-ins with cabinets and a desk. "It's definitely the nicest luxury condo I've listed: he says. 'Newer properties in Cherry Creek are a million-plus more, going for over a thousand-a-foot:'

As in other parts of the market, out-of-town competitio­n is already visible—with one showing going to an East Coast buyer with family here. Stein will show the unit by appointmen­t.
