This Home Started as the Smallest Cliff May Homes Model - a Huge Living Room Addition Changed that . . .
It’s FUN to live in a Cliff May Home!
Cliff May dwellers across the country will tell you that there is something special about living in one of these historic mid-century modern gems that seamlessly connect the indoors and out-of-doors . . . and while these homes started as seven different floorplans built of the same kit of parts, most of the homes in the neighborhood have diverged from each other across the years through various additions and improvements. In the case of this home, which started life as a 2 bedroom, 1 bath, 850 square foot RM 2111 “mighty mini” model, a major living room addition on the back, as well as more space added to the primary bedroom, brought its living space to over 1,200 beautiful and open square feet!
The addition also brought with it a small 1-car garage, a detached studio space, and unique architectural details, such as arched openings over built-in shelving, a double-sided fireplace, and more! More recent improvements brought an expanded kitchen with maple cabinets and retro boomerang countertops, a full laundry room (a rare find in Cliff May Homes), and a screened gazebo in the backyard.
Most striking in this home is the 18' long wall of 8' high double-pane glass in the living room, offering exceptional indoor-outdoor connection to the backyard and breathtaking A.M. light that makes the living areas of the home glow on sunny mornings.
A skylight over the spacious dining room brings in plenty of natural light, and hardwood floors through the living areas (newly refinished in the living room) bring that warmth of 1950s home design. The dining room sits in the center of the home, connecting the kitchen to the living room in a wide open arrangement - perfect for daily living and entertaining friends and family.
The primary suite is more generous than would be typical in this model, thanks to an addition that claims space under the roof overhang, and adds a sliding glass door directly to the backyard. A 3/4 bath that is part of the living room addition adds an efficient bathroom to this room.
This is a unique home among the Cliff May Homes that offers a lot of flexibility for how you might choose to live - right in the spirit of informal living that Cliff May was known for.
A spacious open plan, indoor-outdoor connection, separate studio, modern architecture, and authentic and historic Cliff May design in Denver’s Harvey Park . . . your dream home is waiting!
