Mid-Century Modern Masterpiece
723 Locust Street - Fort Collins, Colorado
An entertainer’s dream home
The fabulous fifties return in this classic 1955 mid-century home. With architectural influences from some of the most progressive designs of the time, 723 Locust Street is one of the most recognizable homes in Old Town Fort Collins.
In Mountain Standard fashion, Locust has undergone a complete redevelopment and restoration designed to embrace the unique styling of the original home and remain true to its architectural significance. The new open concept floor plan is accentuated with contemporary luxury including; warm espresso maple hardwood flooring with matching tongue and groove ceilings, two tone custom maple cabinetry with elegant Pental quartz counter tops, Viking Professional kitchen appliances, custom troweled wall coating, 5 panel solid wood interior doors, designer tile throughout, and modern Delta fixtures. The home has received a complete mechanical and energy system upgrade including; spray foam insulation in the walls and ceilings, tank-less hot water, high efficiency HVAC systems, LG mini- split heating and cooling system, smart home technology, Anderson A100 windows and sliding doors, and new 40 year TPO membrane roof.
The home’s exterior has been improved by restoring the original modern blond brick and accentuating it with dark natural cedar and smooth LP Smart siding. The new landscaping and outdoor entertaining areas are designed with the intent of creating a free-flowing balance between indoor and outdoor spaces. An over-sized 1 car garage has been added to home’s existing footprint while saving the front covered car port that is indicative of the era.
