This exceptional mid-century modern property is situated in the desirable Skyway neighborhood, nestled between the renowned Broadmoor area and the expansive Bear Creek Regional Park on the Westside of Colorado Springs. The residence was constructed in 1955 by the esteemed Don Price, a builder and architect responsible for approximately 100 homes in Colorado Springs, with a significant concentration in Skyway.
The home's original design, conceived by Stanley Reese of New York City, was ordered by Hotpoint. Notably, this is a genuine Hotpoint Living-Conditioned Home from 1955, a significant architectural piece. 4 different and innovative homes were the grand prize in Hotpoint's 50th-anniversary contest, making this a rare and historically significant example of mid-century modern design. Don Price slightly adjusted the floor plan of the now 4-level home and made it even more unique.
Encompassing 2,708 square feet, the home features 5 bedrooms (2 non conforming) and 3 bathrooms. Original architectural details, sure to delight vintage enthusiasts, include original jalousie windows for amazing airflow in the warm months and stunning fireplaces for coziness in the winter. Two bathrooms remain nearly fully original, offering a glimpse into the home's 1950s aesthetic. The original tongue and groove ceiling on the main and upper level and partial wood paneling give warmth that is perfectly balanced with slate and sandstone elements. A 1-car garage is supplemented by a 2-car carport and new driveway.
Updates have been made to enhance modern living, including hardwood floors in the living room, on the stairs and in the upstairs hallway, new ceramic tile in the kitchen and lower level hallways, installation of the carport, a brand new electrical panel a class 4 hail resistant roof. This home balances original charm with contemporary updates, providing a foundation for further personalization.
