45 S. Dahlia Street in Denver, Colorado, is a stunning mid-century home that was once a doctor’s office which has been listed by Coleen Sanders of LIV Sotheby’s International Realty (LIV SIR) for $4.5 million. This unique listing has 5,396 square feet of living space and the gorgeous interior has been reconstructed and designed by architect and designer Julie Doman of Julie Doman Interior Design. The clean, simple lines and high-end finishes pay homage to the ‘Mad Men’ era with function, design, and entertaining in mind.
The large kitchen with extensive custom Walnut architectural millwork throughout offers stunning design, and a walk-in pantry with a hidden doorway is practical and functional yet disappears into the design. A concealed bar area includes everything a host needs for a good cocktail party including an ice maker, beverage fridge, and wine fridge to keep bottles at the perfect temperature.
“Every detail of this mid-century ranch was thought through to create a timeless aesthetic. The home’s U-shape design focuses on indoor-outdoor living perfect for entertaining and creating a private retreat for family life,“ said homeowner Julie Doman.
At the time it was purchased in 2020, the home was being used as a doctor’s office. The space was choppy, with a waiting area, exam rooms, and offices. Doman saw potential right away and decided to gut the interior space, creating an open floor plan, and installing folding doors that provide seamless indoor/outdoor spaces. The amazing backyard has a pool and integrated spa, outdoor kitchen, pizza oven, fireplace, and covered patio. While these amenities are not original to the design, they add a luxurious feel to the completely reimagined space.
The fireplace in the living room was recreated, keeping with the home’s original design. Doman also chose to maintain the home’s exterior, staining the brick a modern black. The corner windows in the living room, office, and primary bedroom were kept preserving the look and feel of the mid-century home. The living room also includes a reading nook with a built-in couch and bookshelf, perfect for the kids to have space to retreat.
“There is truly nothing comparable in the Denver market. This is an authentic mid-century modern that has been completely reimagined on the interior while maintaining restored architectural details,” said Coleen Sanders, LIV SIR broker. “Every square inch of the space has been thoughtfully designed by Doman. The custom finishes seamlessly integrate storage, organization, and artistic design. And it’s tailored perfectly to today’s lifestyle.”
An addition to the back of the home includes a fitness room, with the outdoor spa steps away, as well as a golf simulator to perfect that swing. An office and bathroom round out the additional space, and the fitness room could be used as a bedroom if needed.
The mid-century style is seen throughout the home in the material finishes, furnishings, and textiles. Doman wanted to create a home for a modern family to thrive while keeping the design details and aesthetic reminiscent of a time without cell phones when the family gathered around the living room, and when dinner parties were a frequent occurrence.
