About This Home

As of January 2021

Once upon a time, in 1949 the Senior Architectural Department at Denver University (DU) Professors and Students, were studying
Frank Lloyd designs. Hence, we have 8820 W. 68th Ave. Mid-Century Modern...home. Built when W. 68th Ave was still a little dirt road. This home has the original tongue and groove beamed ceilings and massive floor to ceiling Rock fireplace. This open great-room design has floor to ceiling windows on the entire South, partial East and West walls. The views of the park-like lot are breath-taking. The lot is **.65 ACRES** of privacy and charm. The house has been remodeled over the years, adding a 36x12 covered deck and a 28x26 ft. uncovered patio and additional decking. An Entertainer, Gardener's dream lot with 'rare total," privacy. Inside the home, you are greeted with a large foyer, kitchen with retro charm and a large pantry. Off of the great room and down the hall you will find a laundry room, Master bedroom with 50's charm, dressing room and full bath. Secondary bedroom on main and an additional full bath. On the East side of the home is an additional heated 400 sq. ft. cellar workroom/craft-space (non-livable.)
