Shelter. Home. They are not always the same thing. But here, what’s necessary and what’s intimate are built into one floor living on a sizable lot at the gateway of the Columbine/Cliff neighborhood. This mid-century ranch has never asked for more than it needed. Two bedrooms, 1.5 baths, 1,200 square feet arranged with the kind of clarity that comes from a floor plan actually lived in. Every room in its right place. A walk-up attic is storage today. It could be more, if someone decides it should be. A screened porch looks out over a private yard and 13,000 sf lot where green space and solitude go hand in hand. Garden or structure to your heart’s content or just admire with a good book being the primary focus. Recent roof and central air have you off to a great start. For the downsizer or small household, it's complete as it stands. For the next owner with ambition and a dream, it's an invitation. Either way, the shelter is already here, and a home is what you will imagine and create.
