One of the most unique mid-century modern homes to come to market. Not only is this located in the coveted MCM neighborhood of Arapahoe Acres is A Better Homes and Gardens Magazine "1955 Idea Home of the Year." This year's home was designed by noted Harvard architect Hugh Stubbins.
The Hawkins/Davis House c. 1955 has been lovingly cared for and restored by the current owners. Natural elements enhance the design. Custom millwork that flows from the vaulted ceiling and down a feature wall is complimented by a sculptural free-standing brick fireplace. The floor to ceiling glass looking onto the front courtyard garden along with large clerestory windows bring in natural light to the living room.
The current owners choose to honor the home's legacy and original design savvy by restoring the original Geneva cabinetry in the kitchen and updating the surfaces to the period. A windowed breakfast room on one side and the dining area on the other that leads out to a spacious side yard patio provides plenty of entertaining options. A spacious primary suite that offers access to the outside also features the original bathroom design and fixtures. Two additional bedrooms and a recently updated 2nd bath provide flexibility for a home office.
An exceptional private fenced back yard has new fencing, custom gates, raised planting beds, lawn, and an extensive patio area featuring the original custom (architectural) pergola.
Located in the Arapahoe Acres neighborhood, the 1st post WWII neighborhood to receive an historic designation and listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Listing agents will be present for showings.
