1884 S Ivy Street, Denver

In a day and age when homes are constructed to center around square footage and rectangles, it’s rare to find one in which the influence of light becomes a central element. 1884 S. Ivy is a shining example of how thoughtful design can influence the experience of “home.” Indebted to the likes of Frank Lloyd Wright & Mies van der Rohe, this A-frame model home is unique to this pocket of Virginia Village. Lovingly renovated by the current owners you’ll find “moments” throughout the home that make it truly special. Light streaming in through ceiling-height triangular windows bounces across the vaulted ceilings through the kitchen & living room, giving it life & energy. The fully remodeled kitchen is simple, functional, & celebrates the natural light of the home. The finished basement (a rarity in most mid-century modern homes) provides additional living space that can double as bonus sleeping quarters, a bathroom, storage, & laundry room. However, that’s just part of the story. There is an unmistakable connection between the indoors & the outdoors that doesn’t often exist. Floor to ceiling glass doors lead to a covered terrace that celebrates the original beam construction. Not the type to only enjoy the outside occasionally, the current owners took care to make it feel like an extension of the home by installing a meandering path & rock garden, complete with spring bulbs waiting to sprout, perennial gardens, & raised beds. This leads to a newly built studio complete with wood paneled walls that pay homage to the mid-century era of the home’s original structure. This home is close to the biking & walking trails along Cherry Creek trail, numerous small parks, & local restaurants such as Esther’s. With wide, curved streets perfect for daily walks, you’re sure to enjoy the mature trees & Eichler-inspired architecture throughout the neighborhood. Homes like this are in short supply, especially those which have be tended to in such loving and meaningful ways.
