Step into the past with a visit to this incredible custom ranch-style home, built with all the unique details of the iconic architect Frank Lloyd Wright. The brick exterior with monochromatic colors, a cleverly designed stack stone fireplace, and a rectangular picture window all add to the charm and character of this mid-century modern gem. It's truly a part of an era when stylish, simple Usonian-style small houses were designed for the middle-class American family's way of life. Think big band music, cool furniture, community gatherings, and wholesome family times.
The home is located on a beautiful corner lot, with views of Pikes Peak and Garden of the Gods, and just a short walk to charming Old Colorado City, full of shops, restaurants, and parks. With so many attractions just a short drive away, this home is the perfect place to experience all the great things that Colorado has to offer.
Outdoors, a sunny and bright patio is perfect for soaking in the 320 annual days of sunshine. Inside, you'll find an updated mid-century modern kitchen bathed in natural light, with a wood-burning fireplace in the living room. The master suite and two other bedrooms are located on the main floor.
The basement serves as a family-friendly entertainment zone, boasting a wet bar, big screen TV, and the perfect place for a game of ping pong. There's also a full-size clothes washer and dryer, and there's plenty of parking too!
This beautiful house offers a trip down memory lane, back to a simpler time and a way of living that many of us still cherish today.
It's a 45-minute scenic drive to Cripple Creek, travel 50 miles further west over some of the most beautiful Colorado Mountain passes and you'll arrive in Summit County. The ski towns of Breckenridge, Keystone, Frisco, Dillon, and Copper Mountain are great places to ski in the winter and enjoy the mountain hospitality and serenity that abounds.
Red Rocks Amphitheater and Fiddler's Green concert are in nearby Denver and host some of the world's finest musicians.
