A 1927 Tudor in Denver’s Park Hill neighborhood has come to market for $1.59 million, marking the first time the home has been offered for sale since 1967.

Set on a wooded 9,148-square-foot lot, the four-bedroom, 2.5 bath home at 1755 Glencoe Street was custom built for Howard E. and Wilma M. Lorton. They founded the business that became Howard Lorton Furniture & Design that same year.

“Its story reaches from the Lorton family’s design and business legacy to the Lewis family’s civic leadership and the Kopels’ work in law, public service and civil rights,” says listing agent Aaron Luttrell of LIV Sotheby’s International Realty.

The Lortons sold the home in 1935 to Harry T. and Margretta B. Lewis. Their son, Harry T. Lewis Jr., grew up there and became a prominent investment banker who chaired the Denver Museum of Nature & Science and the Denver Metro Chamber of Commerce.

Attorneys Jerry and Dolores Kopel moved into the home in 1967. Jerry Kopel served 22 years in the Colorado House of Representatives and helped lead efforts to integrate Park Hill. President Jimmy Carter appointed Dolores Kopel U.S. bankruptcy trustee for Colorado and Kansas, and she led a court reform pilot program that became a national model. Their son, constitutional law professor David Kopel, has lived in the home on and off since childhood.

“What distinguishes this 1927 Tudor is how much of its original craftsmanship and personality remains,” Luttrell says.

The living room features a wood-plank ceiling with solid-wood beams, original sconces and an Art Deco-inspired fireplace, and one of two wood-burning fireplaces in the home. Solid-wood trim and refinished white-oak floors with walnut surrounds run throughout, and an upstairs bedroom retains its original Lorton light fixtures.

The layout includes distinct living, dining and kitchen spaces. The dining room opens to an outdoor patio, and a main-floor den offers room to read or work. The finished basement consists of a family room, a bonus room and two walls of built-in bookshelves.

Recent updates have focused on the home’s systems, including a new roof, fresh interior paint, extensive plumbing and electrical work and a high-efficiency boiler for the hydronic heating. The upstairs bathroom keeps its distinctive original tile. An attached two-car garage can be reached from both the front and back of the property.

The home sits among Park Hill’s tree-lined streets and historic parkways, near City Park, the Denver Zoo and the Park Hill Library.

“For a buyer who values historic architecture, it is an opportunity to become the next steward of a home with a meaningful place in Denver’s story,” Luttrell says.

Led by North America, the global data center chip market was valued at US$314.87 billion in 2025 and is projected to surpass US$1 trillion by 2035, expanding at a CAGR of 12.49%, DC Market Insights says in a new report. AI accelerators now represent the largest chip value pool inside data centers, while custom silicon, high-bandwidth memory and AI networking are changing the mix of semiconductor content per server and per rack, according to DC Market Insights’ Data Center Chip Market: Size, Share & Forecast to 2035.   

Accelerator spending reached approximately US$169.77 billion in 2025, equal to 53.9% of the total data center chip market. Custom in-house silicon is projected to rise from 16.6% of market value in 2025 to 29.7% by 2035 as hyperscalers design more workload-specific chips.   

“The data center semiconductor market has crossed a structural threshold: accelerators now carry more value than CPUs, memory or networking alone,” said report author Amit Jain, senior consultant, ICT & emerging technologies, DC Market Insights. “Over the next decade, the biggest change will be the rise of custom silicon and system-level co-design, where compute, memory and network chips are selected together around the economics of the workload and the power available to the data center.”

Stylist Aaron Hom has styled rooms for Restoration Hardware and Design Within Reach, but some of his most personal work has happened at home—and, usually in very small spaces.

His latest project, a 1922 bungalow in the Maxwell Park neighborhood in Oakland, CA, is now on the market for $750,000.

In 2009, House Beautiful photographed Hom’s earlier Craftsman bungalow. He had furnished it with midcentury pieces and secondhand finds, making the compact home feel larger with his use of light, layout and easy access to the outdoors.

For the 870-square-foot, two-bedroom home, he has applied the same strategy on a larger scale.

“The interiors are beautifully designed, but then you step outside and the property just keeps unfolding,” says listing agent Jodi Nishimura of Kai Real Estate.

Hom, who lived in a loft during the pandemic and wanted an outdoor space of his own, bought the house in 2021. He looked at about 40 properties before settling on this one for its backyard. The facade gives little away, but once you’re past it, Hom says, “it’s a private world.”

The kitchen opens onto a large deck that Hom treats as an extra room for meals and gatherings, and there’s also a hot tub. Paths wind through drought-tolerant grasses, sunflowers, strawberries, persimmons and passion fruit to a sculpture garden patio and a 130-square-foot studio set up as an office. A vine-covered arbor rounds out the grounds.

“It’s true indoor-outdoor California living,” Nishimura says.

Earlier owners handled much of the interior renovation, with Hom adding the designer finishes. Nishimura describes the kitchen as modern but elegant and the bathroom as artfully done.

“It’s pretty rare to find a home in Maxwell Park with this level of impeccable design,” she says. “That level of curation is difficult to replicate.”

The neighborhood, which dates to 1921, borders the Dimond District’s shops and restaurants and sits near trails in the Oakland Hills.

“Maxwell Park is a bit of a hidden gem in Oakland,” Nishimura says. “For me, it’s really the combination of the design, the gardens and the indoor-outdoor experience. It’s a classic California bungalow that has been elevated by someone with a really sophisticated design eye.”

As U.S. homebuyers scrutinize the surge of mortgage rates and debate the Federal Reserve’s next move, an even bigger story has been unfolding across global trading floors that directly affects Americans’ pocketbooks.

For the past month, global bond markets have been in the grips of a historic sell-off triggered by a tangle of complex economic issues ranging from the ongoing war in Iran to rising deficits to the race to build out data centers to power artificial intelligence.

While at first glance it might seem that the realm of high finance is far removed from homebuyers’ affordability hurdles and climbing monthly mortgage payments, these market moves are a key factor influencing housing costs.

One thing to keep in mind is that the Federal Reserve does not directly set mortgage rates. The central bank instead controls the overnight rate for lending between commercial banks, while mortgage rates are set by the free market.

Mortgage rates closely follow the 10-year Treasury yield, which moves in response to inflation signals and other signals about financial conditions. Persistent war-related oil shocks, with Brent crude topping $100 per barrel, have fueled worldwide inflation fears this year.

The 10-year Treasury yield, or the interest rate paid to bondholders, has climbed sharply in recent weeks, hitting a fresh two-decade peak of 5.36% this week, up from 4.67% in August.

Meanwhile, Freddie Mac’s average rate on 30-year fixed home loans went from 6.66% to 7.4% in about a month.

Realtor.com® senior economist Jake Krimmel notes that the difference for a buyer on a $2,000 monthly payment budget works out to roughly $19,000 less house, highlighting the real-world effects of financial markets on homebuyers’ finances.

Jay Hatfield, CEO at Infrastructure Capital Management in New York City, considers the global oil shortage and subsequent inflation to be the underlying cause of climbing rates.

“Even though people talk about [AI] hyperscale spending and the federal budget deficit, all that existed two weeks before the 10-year was at 4%, so that’s the key driver,” Hatfield tells Realtor.com.

Bond prices and yields move inversely. When bonds are offloaded en masse and their prices fall, yields are pushed up. Inflation is a key factor for the bond market, because inflation can wipe out the gains from fixed-income investments, prompting investors to demand higher yields. 

Oil supply disruptions have fueled inflation concerns worldwide, prompting spooked investors to sell bonds on a scale not seen in years.

In doing so, bond yields rose, headlined by France’s 10-year yield surging to its highest level since 2002. Similarly historic routs were recorded in the U.K. and Italy. Due to the deep interconnectedness of global financial markets, the European panic quickly spilled into the U.S.

Yet, high oil prices and geopolitical tensions are not the sole culprits: Skyrocketing government debt and rising deficits continue to act as the quiet force steering this global sell-off.

The role of government debt and deficits

Major world powers are running eye-wateringly high fiscal deficits that are adding to their national debts, with the U.S. national debt exceeding $40 trillion and some European nations’ debt-to-GDP ratios at or above 100%. 

As governments continue to run heavy deficits, they are forced to issue new government bonds. When bond supply outpaces natural market demand, prices fall and yields rise to attract investors. In some cases, this can create a vicious cycle in which rising interest rates add to deficits, forcing even more bond issuances. 

A case in point is France, where a lack of currency sovereignty, sluggish economic growth, and political paralysis raise long-term risks of a sovereign debt crisis, analysts say.

France’s public debt is inching toward 120% of GDP, while its budget deficit remains one of Europe’s largest. Following the snap election of 2024, the French Parliament has been deeply divided and ineffectual in passing meaningful spending cuts.

Investors are skeptical that next year’s presidential election will lead to the implementation of necessary spending reductions or tax increases, contributing to anxiety about a possible default on government debt.  

While some analysts have raised the specter of a similar debt spiral in the U.S., Hatfield argues that it is much more of a concern overseas.

“It’s extremely unlikely in the U.S. because the economic growth is strong and the debt-to-GDP is stable,” he notes. “Europe is way worse. France has the highest yields in the Eurozone. France is unhinged, and I would watch that.”

Hatfield is optimistic that unlike Eurozone economies, the U.S. can “grow out of our problem,” even though he does not foresee the federal government acheiving a balanced budget anytime soon.

AI spending also a factor

Then are also questions about how massive spending on artificial intelligence may affect global and domestic bond markets.

Hyperscalers and tech giants such as Amazon, Alphabet, and Meta have been issuing corporate bonds to fund new data centers.

Essentially, this forces investors with a finite amount of capital to choose between these high-grade corporate bonds and U.S. Treasuries, putting pressure on the government to boost yields to stay competitive and lure buyers. 

However, Hatfield downplays the impact of AI capital expenditures on rates, reminding that the AI boom existed before the outbreak of the war with Iran in February.

“Everybody wants to blame AI for every problem in the world,” he says.

What the future holds

Krimmel argues that elevated 10-year yields are something that consumers will have to get used to.

“There are structural factors already pushing yields up, including expectations about growth and future spending in an AI-driven economy, a higher neutral interest rate as a result, and increased competition for capital,” he says.

On top of that, the market has to contend with other inflationary pressures like global supply shocks that keep cropping up, plus a shakier domestic fiscal picture.  

Hatfield is even blunter on that point, forecasting a recession for the U.S. residential real estate market.

“We’re already in a housing recession, and we expect it to get significantly worse,” he argues.

Analysts and traders say that the current bond market turmoil could get worse before it gets better, which could mean higher mortgage rates for the foreseeable future.

The Bloc, a massive mixed-use complex in the heart of downtown Los Angeles, is on the block for sale as the commercial property market shows signs it is bottoming out with buildings changing hands at big discounts.

The complex fills a city block in the financial district with an office skyscraper, the high-rise Sheraton Grand hotel and a shopping center that is home to a Uniqlo and Alamo Drafthouse Cinema.

It is an unofficial downtown landmark that was considered chic when it opened as an indoor mall in the 1970s. For years, tourists flocked to the premier address at 7th and Flower streets.

By 2013, then-Macy’s Plaza had devolved into a dated, downscale relic that got little love despite its location near offices, hotels and a busy subway interchanget.

L.A. developer Wayne Ratkovich launched a challenging makeover project that included tearing the roof off the central courtyard to make it an outdoor shopping center, adding shops and restaurants along the sidewalk, and punching a portal to the 7th Street/Metro Center subway station.

Unexpected construction issues slowed work and helped drive costs well over the original $180-million budget to more than $250 million, and Ratkovich Co. sold its interest in the property in 2018 to one of its financial partners, National Real Estate Advisors, which is now selling the property.

The nearly 500-room Sheraton will be sold separately from the rest of the complex, said real estate broker Mike Condon Jr. of Cushman & Wakefield, who is managing the sale of the 1.2-million-square-foot office and retail portion of the Bloc.

Condon said a price hasn’t been set, but a real estate expert familiar with the property but not authorized to speak about it publicly said the office and retail portion is worth about $160 million.

Part of its potential lies in the future. The current owners have secured city permission to build a 41-story apartment or condo tower on top of the Bloc’s original 12-story garage. They also received city approval to add digital signage to all four sides of the complex, which could bring in advertising revenue to a new owner.

The former anchor Macy’s store at the Bloc closed last year, but Condon said that empty space could be desirable for a buyer with new plans for the complex.

“That vacancy is where a lot of the value for the project will be derived,” he said. “That’s the big opportunity.”

Downtown office towers have traded at a deep discount in recent years after occupancy plummeted in the wake of the COVID pandemic. Among the buyers have been owner-users such as fund manager Capital Group and Los Angeles County.

The drop in downtown office leasing appears to be waning, Condon said. “The office market probably found its floor sometime last year, and we have seen some positive leasing momentum across the market.”

The week of Sept. 28–Oct. 4 saw an astonishing 13 more luxury sales—defined as $4 million and above—than the previous week, according to Olshan Realty’s weekly luxury report. The total transaction count (30) is also the highest it has been since the week ending June 14.

The Manhattan luxury market is heating up, with 30 contracts signed last week, marking a four-month high.

As usual, condos took the lead, outselling co-ops 21 to 7. Co-ops rarely outsell condos—such as they did for the week ending June 21—and typically, condos, which don’t have the onerous board approval process that co-ops do, lead luxe sales.

Condos are generally more expensive, and the condo contracts signed this week demonstrated that, with an average ask of $9.3 million versus $5.4 million for co-ops.

Sales included one condop (a small slice of NYC housing stock that combines legal elements of both condos and co-ops) and one townhouse.

The spike in luxury sales comes as inventory remains extremely tight in the borough.

According to Compass’ Manhattan market report, the residential market held up in the third quarter despite a sharp drop in new listings.

New listings fell 28.4%, the lowest level for a third quarter in nearly a decade. Total inventory was down 10.9% from a year ago, yet closed sales still rose 2.7% from the same period last year.

“The biggest gains came at the higher end of the market,” said the report. Contracts at $20 million-plus rose 75% to 14, and contracts above $20 million doubled to 13.

Last week, the highest price for a sale in the borough was Unit 9S at 70 Vestry Street, which was listed only last month. The four-bedroom, 4.5-bathroom 4,355-square-foot condo with two terraces is in a waterfront building in Tribeca. While the ask was $34 million, it’s not yet clear what it closed at.

Designed by the well-known Robert A. M. Stern Architects, with interiors by AD100’s Daniel Romualdez, the building boasts 12,000 square feet of lush amenities, including an 82-foot swimming pool, a separate children’s pool, hot and cold plunge pools, steam room and sauna, fitness center and squash court, a café, library, a billiard room and lounge, and dining suite.

The 14-story condo complex has 46 luxe units offering expansive views of the Hudson River.

Why the spike in luxury real estate?

Douglas Elliman’s Frances Katzen attributes the surge to two events: a judge placing a temporary pause on New York City’s pied-à-terre tax on properties worth over $5 million, and the “back-to-school” crowd.

Last Tuesday, a Staten Island judge ruled that the city mishandled the rollout of the levy and ordered officials to redo parts of the process.

“People are back [in the city] and resuming their searches, but it’s also that the pied-à-terre legislation was held back,” the luxury broker tells Realtor.com. “It made people feel a little more comfortable and able to breathe.”

New York City had to scrap roughly 17,000 notices sent to homeowners under its new pied-à-terre tax after a judge ruled officials improperly made New Yorkers prove they didn’t owe the surcharge before determining who actually did.

However, the breathing room may not last long. The city has appealed the decision, and the tax remains in place for now.

Beyond the potential break on the luxury tax, autumn is normally a busy time for sales, says the broker. People have returned from their vacations or summer homes, the kids are in school, and life has resumed its usual rhythms.

“This is when people begin again,” she says. “They assess what’s going on. This is when the newer inventory comes onto the market, and it’s a time when people are figuring out their next move.”

She also points to fall as when high-income earners anticipate their end-of-year bonuses, stock vesting schedule, and tax planning—all of which bodes well for a real estate play.

The broker currently represents what she calls “the best deal on the market”—the penthouse at 500 Park Ave., set atop 500 Park Tower, listed for $9,995,000. This 9,072-square-foot, seven-bedroom “townhouse in the sky” comes with sweeping Central Park views and an entertaining terrace.

While this isn’t a new building by any means—it was raised in 1959—the price might be right for a seven-bedroom condo with park views. But don’t forget the hefty monthly maintenance of $16,682.

The second-priciest contract of the week was Unit 20AB at 555 West 22nd, asking $20 million. The four-bedroom, 5.5-bath 4,600-square-foot brand-new condo got a price shave from $23 million.

“The fall market is already very active, more so than I had expected, particularly given rate increases and midterm election uncertainties,” says Compass’ Lindsay Barton Barrett, attributing much of the autumn action to the bonus quarter.

However, Compass’ Brian K. Lewis says the extraordinary number of luxury buys also has to do with the current extremely tight market.

“Most of the buyers out there are primary-resident buyers looking to expand their Gotham footprint,” he tells Realtor.com. “Buyers don’t have much to choose from, and they are flush with all of their stock market gains, and they’re all vying for the same few homes.”

He says the slim inventory is due in part to the “self-imposed handcuffs” buyers have on because of higher interest rates. The Freddie Mac 30-year fixed-rate mortgage climbed 25 basis points to 7.28%, the highest in nearly three years, according to Realtor.com data.

Homeowners “have decided to hunker down and stay where they are, depriving the market of much-needed inventory flow,” he says.

And Compass’ Nicole Hay surmises the surge in sales has to do with pent-up demand.

“The growth we are seeing is a result of pent-up demand finally breaking loose,” she says.

“Buyers who sat on the sidelines waiting for a market crash have realized that prime real estate remains remarkably resilient,” she adds. “They are tired of waiting and are deciding to deploy their capital now because they recognize the market has stabilized.”

From Doc Brown’s mansion in “Back to the Future” to the cozy California bungalow in “Buffy the Vampire Slayer,” Craftsman-style architecture has a knack for making people feel immediately at home.

With warm wood features and spaces designed for gathering, Craftsman homes maintain an enduring appeal for today’s homeowners.

Originally introduced as an alternative to the mass production that defined the Second Industrial Revolution at the turn of the 20th century, these homes are still in high demand today, thanks to their timeless allure and personality-filled craftsmanship.

Nationally, Craftsman homes have a median build year of 2000, suggesting that in both historical homes and newer properties that mimic older designs, this style remains relevant as buyers yearn for character over cookie-cutter housing.

Read on to discover how a movement that was largely inspired by a furniture designer without an architectural background has stuck around for so long.

What are the most distinctive features of a Craftsman?

Craftsman-style homes have a number of distinctive features that make them easy to spot while driving around a neighborhood.

Exteriors are defined by intricate woodwork, expansive front porches, and statement-making square or round columns. They’re typically one and a half stories and horizontally shaped.

Low-pitched gabled roofs with wide, unenclosed overhanging eaves and exposed roof rafters are also hallmarks of Craftsman houses.

“Interiorwise, it’s exposed wood galore,” Jameson Tyler Drew, president of the Los Angeles-based Anubis Properties, previously told Realtor.com®.

“Some of the most expensive Craftsman-style homes sport interiors made of teak or American chestnut wood, which were commonly available to homebuilders around the turn of the century. The interiors were often works of art in themselves, sporting expensive finished carpentry throughout.”

Inside, the homes have an open-concept layout, with an inviting living room taking center stage. A fireplace is usually the focal point in this room, which feeds into a stone chimney.

Built-in furniture, coffered ceilings, exposed beams, wainscoting and molding, and stained or leaded glass are additional features that give Craftsman homes so much personality.

When was the first Craftsman house designed?

Furniture designer Gustav Stickley was a leader of the Arts and Crafts movement, which began in response to the rise of industrialism. He popularized the term “Craftsman” through his magazine of the same name, which was published from 1901 to 1916.

The movement was rooted in valuing unpretentious and handcrafted design.

Although he had no architectural training, Stickley soon began publishing house designs in The Craftsman. Over time, architects including Ernest G. Dietrich and Harvey Ellis would contribute to the designs.

By 1903, Stickley had founded the Craftsman Home Builders’ Club, which gave subscribers access to home plans and provided detailed advice to builders, who would then source materials on their own to construct the houses.

The design style took off, and even became available to purchase from sources such as the Sears, Roebuck and Co. catalog, which offered complete mail-order house kits.

Where are the best places to find Craftsman homes?

While Craftsman homes can be found across the United States, you’ll have the best luck finding one in Southern California, where the bungalow style is particularly popular.

The Pacific Northwest and Midwest can also be hot spots for these highly sought-after houses.

Why do people buy Craftsman homes?

When Craftsman homes were first introduced, they were beloved for their affordability and artistry. Maintenance was relatively manageable, and the intentional design helped prevent wasted space.

Craftsman homes are also bursting with character, which continues to make them a favorite for buyers today.

“The gorgeous woodwork, cabinetry built right into the walls, exposed beams, intact original fireplaces, and wide front porches found in Craftsman homes have a strong appeal to buyers,” Nashville-based real estate agent Jake Kennedy of Compass Real Estate told Realtor.com.

“Because quality, craftsmanship, and community character are baked into the DNA of a true Craftsman home, they strike an emotional chord,” he continued. “Buyers aren’t just purchasing a house. They’re buying quality, history, and a kind of soul that new construction can’t imitate.”

How have Craftsman homes changed over the years?

Because the rich history and timeless charm of Craftsman homes are so appealing to buyers, the aesthetic hasn’t changed much over time. However, pricing certainly has.

Realtor.com research from 2025 found that the value of Craftsman homes had appreciated by 43.7% over a six-year period—a level of growth outpaced only by ranch-style homes.

In addition to the value placed on the craftsmanship of these houses, real estate agent Danielle McCain of Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate in Monroe, CT, says the popularity of the architectural style creates a competitive buying environment.

“When a Craftsman home is put up for sale, we’re often seeing multiple-offer situations where emotion is driving urgency,” McCain shared. “Buyers are willing to waive contingencies, stretch budgets, or move quickly to secure these properties.”

A Tudor Revival estate in one of Denver’s Country Club neighborhood has come to market for $10.75 million—making it the second-highest listing in the Mile High City.

The home at 575 Circle Drive—one of the city’s most storied addresses—was built in 1931 for $38,000 by architect Henry S. Koch and the F.J. Kirchoff Construction Co. for Mason and Dorothy Lewis.

The Lewises, of the law firm Lewis and Grant, lived there for three decades. Mason was the son of Robert E. Lewis, a judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit. 

The home was clearly built for distinguished ownership, with six bedrooms and about 10,000 square feet of interior living space. The exterior offers an iconic old-world flair with its custom brick, masonry, and half-timbering, while the interiors carry ample art deco details.

“The uniqueness of the location being in the city, but feeling like an English countryside estate, makes this such an iconic and special home that rarely comes to market,” says listing agent Katie Hoster of LIV Sotheby’s International Realty. 

Lewis’s daughter, Sally, remembered a gentler Denver. Her recollections appear in Alice Millett Bakemeier‘s “Country Club Heritage: A History and Guide to a Denver Neighborhood.” She recalled the milkman clomping down the street in his wagon, and walking to the movies at the Hiawatha, now the Esquire Theater.

The Gallagher family later bought the home, adding rooms over the garage and renovating the interior. Its most famous former owner is Tom Shane of the Shane Co. jewelry chain, known as “the diamond king.”

Nearly a century on, the home is ready for its next owners, yet with all of its original craftsmanship and charm intact. Hand-carved limestone accents appear inside and out, alongside solid wood trim, detailed moldings, leaded windows and cast pot tapered chimneys. 

“Each custom detail is handcrafted to showcase the exceptional quality of construction and craftsmanship that was accomplished by highly skilled trades in the 1930s,” she says.

The second floor holds five en-suite bedrooms. A private third-floor suite can work as nanny or in-law quarters. Two balconies, one off a second-floor bedroom and one on the third level, look out over the grounds. The finished lower level includes an expansive entertaining space with a kitchenette, gym, sauna, and temperature-controlled wine cellar.

Those grounds may be the real prize. The house sits on a three-quarter-acre lot, a rare size in the neighborhood. Mature trees and established landscaping keep it tucked away from the street.

The outdoor space also includes a firepit and a rose garden with a pergola covered in flowering vines. Brick patios extend from the grand salon for dining outdoors, and a dedicated grilling area has a built-in Kalamazoo grill.

“Together, the expansive grounds, thoughtfully designed entertaining spaces and remarkable privacy create the feeling of a secluded garden estate,” Hoster says.

The seclusion comes with a city address. The boutiques and restaurants of Cherry Creek North are within walking distance, and the Cherry Creek bike path is minutes away. Downtown Denver is about a 10-minute drive.

“This is a one-of-a-kind home that has stood the test of time,” Hoster says.
