Some homes claim to be truly mid-mod, but this home is absolutely a classic.
You'll walk into an expansive open kitchen, dining and living space with floor to ceiling glass at the back of the house. Two big bedrooms complete the upstairs, and downstairs you'll find a family room, wet bar, bedroom and large storage area. The special character of this home is hard to find and especially with such remarkable quality finishes.
The middle of the 20th century marked a striking shift in architecture toclean lines, organic and streamlined forms, and lack of embellishment. A convergence with nature became paramount in home design, and these homes often have huge floor to ceiling windows and extensive use of organic materials like brick and wood. Roof lines are lower, and simple design takes the focus on the space and not the things in it. Often interesting geometric patterns are used to draw attention to a table, or fabric, but patterns are used sparingly.
Wheat Ridge was built up between the early 1950s and the mid-1970s, so most of the ranch homes lining the streets are small and offer elements of this hot trend in design that has made a come back in recent years.

At the home on Garland, the custom mailbox, the front door, and the address lettering notify visitors right away that the mid-mod style is not being discounted but celebrated. Wallpaper from the period, FLOR carpet tiles, and unique back splashes are elements of this home that you just won't find elsewhere. Tall glass doors at the back of the house flood it with light, and allow the elements of nature to become part of the home.
Care has been taken to create a space that is uncluttered and airy, and the style elements add a modern nostalgia.
