mid-century modern home for sale

Here’s a sample of the mid-century modern  and retro ranch homes we located for our clients this week. Metro Denver’s for sale real estate inventory remains low, but I anticipate it will improve over the next 60 days.

shipping container home for sale

Here’s a sample of the Denver mid-century modern homes for sale that we located for our clients this week. Definitely a fireplace theme happening this round. Here’s hoping that spring will bring lots of new inventory!

For those selling a home, we continue to see that proper pricing is critical. Even though our market is starting to see signs of normalizing, buyers continue to be wary of homes that remain on the market for more than 30 days.

Hirose House | Architect Gary Landin

constructivist fireplace wall

A wonderful example of early 70’s rustic modernism perched on a hillside, sited to take advantage of an expansive front range and city view.  Outside the use of wood and stone makes the home seem a natural extension of its setting. Inside, the use of glass further marries the home to its environment by inviting ample sunlight while highlighting the views of trees and sky.

Designed by Gary Landin of Crowther, Kruse, Landin & Associates. He graduated from Greeley High School and received his architecture degrees from the University of Colorado. In 1973, he was a founding member of Intergroup, Inc., now known as Intergroup Architects.

This original owner home is currently on the market for the first time and we hope the new owners will do very little to disturb this historic modern jewel. (Click the arrows in the upper right corner for the full size slide show)

Mid-Century Restovation Done Well

This mid-century modern A-frame in the Lynwood neighborhood recently came on the market. Needless to say, it went under contract in mere days. While it was not our listing and we are not involved with it in any way, we wanted to give it more exposure as an example of how to fix and flip a unique modern home.

We love that many of the original finishes, like mahogany veneer walls, were refreshed and highlighted rather than painted. To prevent the abundance of wood from darkening the interior, the wood floors were lightened and non-wood walls and ceiling kept white.  This really makes the architectural details standout while providing a light and bright space.

Choosing timeless rather than trendy new kitchen cabinets and surfaces retains the original modernist aesthetic and will prevent the home from feeling dated in a few years. We also like the bathroom refresh, timeless fixtures and finishes with a touch of distinct character.

There was also a lot of overgrown landscape removed which reintegrates the home with its mod neighborhood and makes it easier for MCM sightseers to appreciate!

Entering our 15th year of specializing in historic modern and mid-century real estate, we’d love to help you buy or sell yours when the time is right. Just need some advice on remodeling ideas? We’re happy to help you with that, too.
