LIV Sotheby’s International Realty has recently listed 11 Martin Lane, the personal residence of the late architect, William Muchow, known throughout Colorado for his iconic mid-century modern architecture and design. Muchow and partners designed 883 commercial and residential structures in Colorado and the West, and he was one of the great icons of mid-century modern design in Denver and beyond.
“This is a rare and special opportunity to own the personal residence of one of Denver’s most respected mid-century modern architects,” said LIV Sotheby’s International Realty broker, Joanne Ernstsen. “Whether one decided to re-model the residence in quintessential mid-century modern fashion, or reinvent the home completely- the stunning grounds of this home provide a truly idyllic backdrop that needs to be seen to truly appreciate.”
Located at 11 Martin Lane, on private one-acre site adjoining the 13th fairway of Cherry Hills Country Club, this meticulously crafted estate located just twenty minutes from downtown Denver is solidly built, and of classic mid-century modern design. The residence is being sold as-is and, while structurally solid and true, it is in need of restoration on both the interior and exterior of the structure.
Magnificent, private grounds, accentuate the one-acre site the home sits on, offering a rare opportunity for ownership or the setting to build a custom dream home.
The site is accessed by crossing a wooden bridge, over Little Dry Creek, where towering trees and exceptional views of Cherry Hills Country Club and the 13th green and creek await.
The residence is 4,259 square feet and features 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, and provided the perfect base for architect, Muchow, to conjure his stunning architectural designs.
Muchow’s talents in architectural design first came to national prominence with the original A-frame residence that he built for his own family in 1953, in the Bonnie Brae neighborhood of Denver.
Among other awards, this house garnered the Architectural Record Award of Excellence, praised for its innovative structure and flowing spaces from inside to outdoors. The small house was recently restored with subtle changes and enhancements to suit the needs of new owners.
Similarly, to his first residence, 11 Martin Lane offers a blank canvass for a new owner to paint their own vision of iconic mid-century-inspired design, or to re-invent the property, creating an entirely new design.
11 Martin Lane is listed for sale at $2,000,000.
