On historic Mountain Avenue in Fort Collins, this brick residence has lived several lives—first as a home, later as a commercial office, and now thoughtfully restored to its original purpose. A full interior gut allowed the structure to be reimagined for contemporary living while preserving the character and scale that define the neighborhood.
From the street, the home remains unmistakably historic, with its original brick façade and traditional presence intact. Inside, the experience shifts as the rear of the home opens to expansive walls of glass, filling the interior with natural light and creating a modern connection to the backyard.
Timeless proportions are paired with refined craftsmanship throughout. A walnut coffered ceiling anchors the dining room, custom curved walnut doors add subtle artistry, and a marble fireplace surround grounds the living area with a sense of heritage. At the heart of the home, an open kitchen and living room plan supports modern family life—welcoming, functional, and designed for gathering—while the contrast between historic front and contemporary rear creates a home that feels both rooted and current.
