Mike and Leslie McCabe usually focus their energy on remodeling homes in Cherry Hills Village.
But the Scandinavian-design home at 950 S. Steele St. in Denver’s Belcaro neighborhood caught their attention.
The large home on a nearly half-acre lot felt cold and run down, but the McCabes believed they could make better use of its clean, straight lines and large windows.
“It needed the love it deserved,” Mike McCabe said.
In February, the couple bought it for $4.4 million and got to work, transforming the 9,500-square-foot mansion into what they’ve dubbed the Golden Hour Haus.
Now, they’re selling it. Mike McCabe, who works for The Agency-Denver, listed it for $8.8 million.

“We wanted to create a home that felt organic and modern, seamlessly blending inside and outside. Our inspiration came from a trip to Tulum (Mexico), and the ideas just flowed from there,” he said.
The result is a space that boosts indoor-outdoor flow by maximizing the home’s natural light with floor-to-ceiling windows. It also features Austin White limestone both inside and out, which gives the house a natural Colorado feel that’s more modern, Mike McCabe said.
The goal: Create a high-end home that blends amenities with functionality.

There’s also a secondary cooking area equipped with top-of-the-line appliances.
“We focused on creating an aesthetically pleasing kitchen in the front while hiding the messiness in the scullery behind,” Mike McCabe said.
The five-bedroom, five-bath home also has a lower-level space that features walnut-paneled walls, a gym, a cold plunge and a sauna.
The primary suite on the second floor features a custom closet and a spa-like bathroom with a free-standing solid travertine tub, a steam shower and dual vanities. The upstairs also features a loft, three bedrooms, two full baths and laundry.

The McCabes also kept and updated the home’s original putting green and added an epoxy floor to the seven-car garage.
The result is a home that’s big and spacious without feeling cavernous, Mike McCabe said. The design feels more like what you’d find in Los Angeles or Miami.
“We try to push our design beyond what Colorado normally sees,” he said. “It’s one of a kind.”
