Denver Modern Homes

James Koustas dropped me a line about a new listing he has in Arapahoe Acres. 1510 E. Cornell Ave. is one of the biggest properties in Arapahoe acres at 2000 square feet. It went through a renovation in 2006 that includes all new mechanicals, flooring, plumbing, and electric.

Contact James Koustas at 303-210-8342 for more information.

OK, I’m just going to cut and paste the details I received on this event by email. It looks like a great time.

Wow, lot’s of great homes have gone on the market in Krisana Park recently. Here’s the latest.

Listed by Brent Jones, Coldwell Banker Residential, this home will be open Friday, June 13 and Saturday, the 14th from 10-3. I love all the glass, and the fireplace is very nice. What I like most though, is the kitchen. It’s obviously been updated, but keeps the simple lines found in the original homes. You can see more of the house, here.

I think what I like the most about the homes in Krisana Park is the open, vaulted ceilings that make to rooms feel more spacious. 1346 S. Elm St is a great example. Gretchen Faber of Kentwood Cherry Creek is listing this home, which features refinished floors, updated plumbing, and a very open kitchen.

I also dig the outdoor spaces here. You can see more by visiting Gretchen’s tour page.

How much Union Station’s redevelopment has to do modernism is likely minimal so excuse me for drifting off topic. One thing is for sure though, it will play a huge roll in Denver’s development as a world class urban mecca.

To help insure that Union Station’s development is maximized, a new advocacy group as been formed to help shepherd the project into a success.

Union Station Advocates’ (USA) mission is to provide a conduit for citizen input into the process of creating great civic spaces at Union Station, while maintaining the historic integrity of the station and its setting. More.
