Description

Rooted in Japandi simplicity, this mid-century modern home is a study in intentional living. Remodeled, lived in, and stewarded by a pair of architects, every detail reflects the belief that life is better in a well-designed modern home. Inspired by California’s iconic Eichler Homes, the elegant exterior features vertical siding and a low-slung roof that appears to float with extended eaves and continues to the attached carport. Walnut accents welcome you inside, where exposed beams and tongue-and-groove ceilings create architectural continuity throughout. The living room features a fireplace centered in the west-facing window wall, with access to a secluded side patio tucked behind a concrete breezeblock wall. A walnut and glass divider defines the space while highlighting a rare feature for this style of home: a basement. The functional kitchen includes an induction range and stainless appliances. The expanded primary bedroom offers a walk-in closet with wood built-ins, and architect-designed plans for an ensuite bath will transfer to the next owner. Every room connects to the outdoors, reinforcing the classic mid-century indoor/outdoor lifestyle. Japanese inspired rock gardens and hardscaping pair with xeriscape plantings and a wildflower garden, creating a tranquil outdoor environment designed as a seamless extension of the home. The basement offers a second living area distinguished by wood paneling, a serene bedroom with a custom wood-clad Japanese platform bed and ceiling illuminated with bespoke lighting, and an additional bedroom accented with a custom wood headboard wall that continues the home’s cohesive design language. Hue smart lighting enhances the home experience. Located just a stone’s throw from Krisana Park, this home offers the same design appeal, a basement, and mid-mod character without the Krisana Park price tag, yet its convenient Virginia Village location is a quick drive to Cherry Creek, Glendale, DTC, and downtown.
