1497 S Fairfax Street is a meticulous mid‑century modern remodel that preserves architectural character while delivering modern performance and everyday comfort. This single‑story 1955 ranch offers 1,677 square feet, three bedrooms and two full baths, positioned on an exceptionally deep 7,030‑square‑foot lot — rare in this pocket and giving you generous private outdoor space and future expansion options. The exterior announces itself with custom stained cedar siding and clean retro lines, while interior details include tongue‑and‑groove ceilings, hardwood floors and thoughtfully-proportioned rooms.
The kitchen is a designer’s study in restraint and quality: custom VoGo cabinetry, Negresco granite paired with white quartz countertops, and efficient appliance package. Floor‑to‑ceiling windows and glass doors connect the main living spaces to the yard, making indoor/outdoor flow effortless for entertaining and everyday living. One of the three bedrooms features sound‑insulated interior walls, and the primary suite includes an oversized walk‑in shower and storage not typical for homes of this era.
Systems and durability were upgraded with an eye to longevity: mineral wool wall insulation, Siga weather‑resistive barrier, Alpen high‑performance windows and doors, a newer roof with insulation, new plumbing and electrical, a Crane 98% AFUE furnace, and an on‑demand tankless water heater. Practical touches include in‑unit laundry, double‑pane windows, window coverings, and a 220V outlet for EV charging — a real convenience for modern Denver life.
This home is a turnkey solution for buyers seeking single‑story living with design pedigree — whether you’re coming from out of state or relocating within Denver, you’ll appreciate the careful renovation choices, the extra storage, and the accessible lot. Located in the Krisana Park / Virginia Village area, you’re minutes from neighborhood parks, independent restaurants and the eclectic shops along South Broadway, with easy access to central Denver and I‑25.
