THE HOME.  This magnificent Tuscan home, Il Campanile, (Italian for bell tower), has a bell in its tower that came from Italy. The home is authentic in every aspect of its Old World structure and style from the Italian clay roofing and rustic timber detailing, to its mortar-washed brick and stone. Walk through an inviting courtyard with built-in water feature and into an entry overlooking the 1,000-square-foot sunken courtyard. Bringing tremendous light into the home, this courtyard has its own water feature, fireplace, several planters and covered kitchen. The kitchen and grand hall are the heart of the home with its 2-story stone fireplace and timber mantel over the range, to the wall of glass capturing amazing views. The dining room is stunning with unique groin-vault ceiling. The home also includes numerous energy-efficient features such as tankless water heaters, energy star appliances/light fixtures, and solar panels reducing electricity costs by 50%. Taking "Built Green" one step further, Brookline Homes is turning the sale of Il Campanile into an auction—benefiting Plant-It 2020, a non-profit organization which plants one tree for every $1 donated.

Brookline will give a minimum of $25,000 to Plant-It 2020. This home is certified Built Green® Colorado. For more information, please call 303-388-6222.
