Ever Seen A Dome Like This?
Welcome to one of the most distinctive homes in the Denver Metro area: a Monolithic Dome tucked into Centennial’s quiet Algonquin Acres neighborhood. Originally designed by an aeronautical engineer, this futuristic structure feels more like something from a sci-fi movie than suburban Denver — but it’s real, it’s spacious, and it’s packed with features you won’t find anywhere else.
Inside, you’ll find 4,500+ sq. ft. of living space, an indoor heated saltwater pool and hot tub (yes, indoors, with waterfalls), and a luxurious main-level primary suite. Updates topping $600,000 have transformed the property — from heated terrazzo floors to new insulation, stucco, and smart systems. Add in a private acre near Cherry Creek State Park and Valley Country Club, and you’ve got one of the most unique homes on the Front Range.
But here’s the twist: this isn’t the first time local realtor Aaron Lebovic has crossed paths with this home. He helped a previous owner both buy and sell it — proof that when it comes to finding (and marketing) special properties, Aaron knows how to guide clients through even the most unconventional spaces.
Aaron isn’t just a high-producing agent; he’s a Highlands Ranch neighbor, dad of two, and someone clients describe as “a patient teacher with bulldog determination when it counts.” Whether you’re looking for a one-of-a-kind dome, a sleek Denver loft, or a family home in Douglas County, Aaron’s goal is simple: protect your interests, guide you clearly, and help you move confidently into your next chapter.
