Fantastic mid-century modern in Virginia Village

Craig Mayer has a great new listing:

This fantastic mid-century modern home was designed by architect Maxwell Saul in 1958. The “C” shaped floor plan wraps around a private sunny courtyard and includes 1,730 square feet of living space with three bedrooms and two baths. Accented by two geometric block walls and unusual louvered glass windows, the home features open beam ceilings, mahogany paneled walls, clerestory windows, and custom built-ins.

The home has had only two owners and the original architect’s plans and drawings are available. A must see!

The home is located on a quiet corner in the Virginia Village area of southeast Denver. There are several other modern style homes on the street and Krisana Park, one of Denver’s largest modernist neighborhoods, is just a block away. Shops and restaurants are within walking distance and Cherry Creek is just minutes away. The area is also easily accessible to I-25 and the new light rail system.
