5280mod An Original 1957 Find in Applewood

September 7th, 2007 | No Comments | Posted in Cool Find
Thanks to my brother-in-law for giving me a heads up on this gem in Applewood!

 


Built in 1957, from what I can gather, this home has only had 2 owners and is in remarkable original condition (other than the robin’s egg blue paint that has been recently sprayed on almost every exterior surface) The second owners purchased the home in 1967 and (I’m assuming) added the carpet.

This deck railing detail gets lost in the sea of blue.

Main bathroom with chrome “hideaway” toothbrush/glass holder.

 

Main entrance – planter with metal rods. The bricks appear to continue under the gold “sculptured” carpet in the living/dining areas. 
The divider seems to have been turned into a display case w/ a gold lamé backing.
This is a raised ranch with a garden level basement. As you can see in the exterior photo, both levels have a wall of glass.
Master Bedroom – nice light fixture and original hardware on the closets. (Must love pink)
Master Bath
Unfortunate placement of t.v. cable.
Notice the controls for the cooktop mounted on the back wall. That rectangular shape you can barely see on the counter to the left is a built in blender motor.
Dining room.
Dining Room side of the upstairs pass-through fireplace.
Bar/kitchenette in the basement.
Wallpaper in the Bar.
View of the family room (lower level) from the bar. This is another pass-through fireplace.
This home was recently purchased by an architect and his family.

5280mod Explores Sternbergs' Summer Cabin

July 6th, 2007 | No Comments | Posted in Cool Find



Gene Sternberg (well known for his work in Arapahoe Acres) built this summer cabin in Evergreen back in 1952 and it recently came on the market, so I had to check it out.


As an Evergreen native, I spent many of my days exploring and horseback riding in the woods adjacent to this cabin. I have to assume that it will be scraped to make way for a new home as this is an excellent location and gorgeous setting.

5280mod Krisana Park & Lynwood

June 15th, 2007 | No Comments | Posted in Cool Find

While these neighborhoods are fairly well known, I have to include them in my exploration. You’ll notice that these are true “tract” neighborhoods with only a handful of styles as opposed to Arapahoe Acres and Arapaho Hills where the majority of homes are unique.
