1495 S Elm Street

Welcome to 1495 S Elm Street in Denver's historic Mid-Century Modern neighborhood, Krisana Park. Inspired by Joseph Eichler's "California Contemporary" homes, architect Frenchie Gratts, supported by developers H.B. and Brad Wolff, designed this and other models built within Krisana Park.
This home, the "Model 2E", offers an open plan, floor-to-ceiling glass, post-and-beam construction, and a comfortable, low profile emphasized by the roofline and beams that welcomes occupants and visitors alike. Hardwood floors, bright walls, and tongue and groove ceilings wrap three bedrooms and two bathrooms. An open entry is flanked by a galley kitchen which looks over a long, bright living room, connected to a ground-level deck. Backyard views via a wall of glass are only interrupted by the fireplace. Comfortable bedrooms flank a wide hallway, leading to the primary suite, which offers its own private access to the backyard space. Mature trees and tasteful landscaping in combination with extruded walls and deep soffits support indoor and outdoor connections, and create inviting spaces on the outside of the home, or views for all seasons from within. The home itself is wrapped in patterns that reflect the use of concrete block and vertical redwood siding.
While the home maintains much of the character and detail from when it was built in 1955, the home is updated to meet the demands of modern comfort and performance and is inclusive of central heating and cooling, water heater, an updated kitchen including appliances and cabinetry, electrical service, double-pane windows and glazing, and a radon mitigation system. The home also includes a solar panel array and 220V electric car charging station located in the single-car garage.
This home is minutes from Wash and Platt Parks, Cherry Creek, and the University area. Don't miss this opportunity to call this beautiful Krisana Park mid-century modern home your own!
