Denver MLS

Denver MLS: Blank, 48, a design consultant with a minimalist aesthetic, never envisioned himself in a tract house on a quiet street in a sedate neighborhood in a Colorado neighborhood featuring numerous homes for sale. "I was looking for a loft downtown or a townhouse in Cherry Creek Colorado MLS," said Blank, a Realtor in the Colorado real estate market. The places in Cherry Creek, which he found in the Denver MLS, were OK but nothing extraordinary. So when friends told him about the Lynwood development in the Denver Multiple Listing Service (MLS) (bounded by South Monaco Parkway, South Holly Street, East Jewell and East Mexico avenues), he agreed to look.

"I walked into one house that I found in the Denver MLS," he said, "a midcentury A-frame with clerestory windows, a wall of sliding glass doors and an open living room/dining room, and I thought, 'This is it. This is too cool."' "Midcentury modern" homes for sale in Colorado are hard to find. Known for their horizontal lines, open floor plans, floor-to-ceiling windows in the rear (to integrate indoor and outdoor living) and small, high windows at the front (for privacy), they were modeled after the sleek homes of California developer Eichler, who believed that good design should be affordable to the masses. After searching in the Denver MLS Boulder Colorado MLS and Colorado Springs MLS for more information, he found the Colorado homes of his dream.

Denver MLS

In the Denver MLS, those homes ranged from 1,000 to 1,500 square feet, rarely had basements and often came with just a carport or a one-car garage. They were marketed to middle-class families who could afford the $10,000 to $20,000 price tag and were looking for areas that, in the 1950s, were considered the "edge" of town. Today, these neighborhoods are called central Denver MLS. Because midcentury modern homes are small by contemporary standards, they are often advertised as great opportunities for expansion or to be scraped off. They are rarely seen as a great opportunity for the kind of sensitive rehab Castellari has in mind when he first searched the Denver MLS.

Buying a 1956 California Contemporary was not part of Castellari's game plan when he first searched the Denver MLS, but the Raytheon software engineer fell in love when he saw a house with a slightly sloped roof and floor-to-ceiling windows hidden behind a mature tree on a lot in Crestmoor. "I wanted to be in a Denver MLS neighborhood with appreciating home values," he said, "and this neighborhood is a winner."
