Arapahoe Acres - Mid-Century Modern Homes in Denver

I'm so excited, so excited!!! 

I finally visited Arapahoe Acres, a MCM (Mid-Century Modern) subdivision in Denver, CO metro area.

 These homes exceeded my expectations! 

Fantastic, absolutely fantastic!! 

Here are a couple...

Strong horizontal lines are a grounded backdrop to an arid, naturalistic garden.

The garden is lush, open, and beautifully maintained.
Round pavers set in gravel gently lead you by well-built red sandstone planters full of drought tolerant grasses and conifers.

A similar home, clearly Japanese inspired home and garden, is both detailed and simple. The deck railing is low and horizontal in keeping with the roof line.

The wooden garage doors repeat the horizontal roof line and the vertical line of the stone pillars on either side. 

The garden is full of mounding stones and conifers. This pathway leads to a gorgeous garden gate painted the same color as the house.

The garden gate.
I took these photos on a gorgeous, cold, sunny day - please excuse the overexposed photos!

The mysterious main entry is masked by the enormous, old juniper.
...If only natural stone would have been used in the hardscape!
