A Mid-Century Masterpiece in Arapahoe Acres

Welcome to the iconic “Hawkins/Orr House” — a rare gem in the heart of Arapahoe Acres, the first residential subdivision recognized on the National Register of Historic Places. Designed by Edward Hawkins and inspired by Usonian and Mid-Century Modern architecture, this one-of-a-kind residence blends timeless design with modern updates and effortless charm.

Spanning 1,740 square feet, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath home features a partially open floor plan and a large, fully updated flex space—perfect for entertaining, working, or relaxing. Fresh paint, updated flooring, and signature cork floors bring warmth and continuity from the living spaces to the spacious bedrooms.

An exciting bonus: the second bedroom offers a private side entrance, opening up opportunities for a home office, studio, or even potential rental space—perfect for today’s flexible living needs.

Recent upgrades include a brand-new roof, fresh interior and exterior paint, newer siding on the west side, updated vinyl casement windows with modern blinds, and a newer ducted evaporative cooler. A newly added rear patio opens to a lush buffalo grass backyard—low maintenance and beautifully green in late spring.

Natural light floods every corner of this home, flowing seamlessly through spaces with the ease and intentionality of true Usonian design. A secure, partially covered front porch and dramatic roof overhangs create inviting indoor-outdoor living. Positioned parallel to the street with perpendicular walkways, this lot orientation is a rare and unique feature in the neighborhood.

Move-in ready with plenty of room for your personal touches, this is more than a home—it’s a piece of architectural history.

Live where design meets legacy. Welcome to Arapahoe Acres.
