David Johnson, who co-founded Etkin Johnson Real Estate Partners with Bruce Etkin in 1989, is selling his 8,300-square-foot Cherry Hills Village mansion made with $1 million of imported Belgian glass.
Johnson listed the two-story, six-bedroom, five-bath home at 14 Random Road, which was designed by Michael Brendle for $8.5 million on Nov. 17.
He purchased the home for $3.6 million in 2003.
Johnson said the glass walls make the home unique.
“The natural light you get is stunning. You get to experience being outside while being inside at the same time,” he said.
The mansion’s floor-to-ceiling glass walls offer views of the mountains and Glenmoor Country Club, and its layout takes advantage of the glass by putting the living area on the second floor.
“That lets you enjoy the views when you’re in the kitchen or entertaining. The views are spectacular in the winter or the summer,” Johnson said.
The main living area is on the second floor.
Despite all the glass, the home’s location on a wooded 2.4-acre lot makes it secluded and private.
Listing agent Trish Campbell said the mansion, built in 2002, is like a piece of art. She said building a glass home like it today would be too expensive.
“It’s amazing architecturally. It’s definitely one-of-a-kind,” Campbell said. “It’s a very California-looking kind of house. It will appeal to a distinct buyer with an artistic eye.”
The home offers radiant heat on both floors, a glass bridge hallway, and two glass staircases. There’s also a chef’s kitchen with high-end appliances, a music room and two offices.
The home also features a pool with water features, fire pits, a hot tub, and a pickleball court.

Johnson retired in 2021 when he and Etkin sold the assets of their commercial real estate firm. The company sold off nearly $900 million in real estate assets, including selling its Colorado Technology Center portfolio for $400 million.
Now, he focuses on spending time with his family and charitable giving, including being active with the Penrose-St. Francis Hospital Foundation. He and his wife plan to downsize and split their time between living in Florida and Vail.
