The Cottle House in Arapaho Hills, designed by Bruce Sutherland, had a year-long retrovation by Retrovations LLC. This mid-century modern home has been thoughtfully restored to enhance livability while preserving its original design. An atrium leads you to the front door, where you’ll find custom walnut paneling, an original planter, and staircase railing. The roofline from the garage moves over the atrium and dramatically enters the living area, with uplighting that accentuates this architectural feature. The main floor has tongue-and-groove ceilings with exposed beams, adding character to the living space. The south-facing side of the home is almost entirely floor-to-ceiling glass, creating a seamless connection between the interior and exterior. New glass and aluminum windows were installed to maintain the original design while improving energy efficiency. Custom cabinetry and wood paneling by Cream Modern mirror the home’s original style with a modern sensibility. Original cork floors were refinished and paired with new cork to maintain the authentic mid-century appeal. Feel the blur between interior and exterior through unique architectural details like the rusticated brick curtain wall which extends from the fireplace in the living area to the south facing patio.The primary bedroom looks out onto the patio with floor to ceiling glass and a uniquely designed ensuite bathroom. A brick staircase leads to the basement with refreshed flagstone floors and interior clapboard siding. The walkout basement features a vintage Majestic fireplace, an oversized bedroom or flex space, and a light-filled office with more floor-to-ceiling glass. Additional highlights include a one-car garage with EV hookup, and storage under the primary suite—perfect for kayaks, bikes, etc. Located in a 56-home mid-century modern neighborhood on the National Register of Historic Places www.theretrorealtor.com/featured-listing--5450-mohawk-road https://5450.in360.us https://youtu.be/M32_bJRu-vE
