Welcome to the Hiigle home in the Crestview neighborhood.

2226 Franklin Road

Fort Collins, CO 80524

Active

$699,000

This home was custom built by Olds and Reed construction for the Hiigle family in 1960. Designed by Don Goff, a prolific Modernist architect in Northern Colorado during the MCM era.

This architect and builder duo are most well know for their Historic, MCM Sheely Dr. enclave near Prospect and Shields. This masterpiece example of MCM architecture and modernist living doesn't stop at its notable architectural pedigree, as the home still retains nearly all of its original charm and features- polished, loved, and restored. The wide wing-span of this home, with massive front (western facing) window, “messy” mortar, low sloped roof, and connection with the land leave no box unchecked for elements of a true, modernist gem. As you walk into the home you are immediately surrounded by Colorado MCM hallmarks-sandstone, flagstone, (unpainted) T/G ceilings, breeze block, and robust brick and block construction.

The main living area is drenched with natural light from the huge, front western window, flanked with jalousie windows on either side. The sandstone fireplace (gas) sets the cozy and warm mood for this room, while the T/G ceiling echos it. The living room flows right into the dining room complete with valance up-lighting. Continuing the flow into the kitchen-with cabinets sensitively updated- but original flooring and countertops speak to the quality of the era. Grill often- why not use your indoor grill in the kitchen! There is an eat-in bar, and small kitchen table area here as well. Down the hall is a gleaming vintage bathroom, bedroom with articulating wood wall-making it an ideal home office, second bedroom-, and oversized primary bedroom with ensuite bathroom. The primary bath has vintage pink tiles and a sunken tub/shower! But the wow factors do not stop there as this home sits on over 1/2 acre; xeriscaping, water feature, sunsets. Your extremely rare chance to own a piece of MCM and Fort Collins History.

The Hiigle Home, custom built in 1960 by Olds and Reed and designed by Don Goff, the prolific Northern Colorado modernist architect best known for the historic Sheely Drive enclave near Prospect and Shields in Fort Collins. A textbook example of Colorado MCM architecture, the home retains nearly all of its original character: sandstone and flagstone, unpainted tongue-and-groove ceilings, breeze block, robust brick and block construction, a wide wing-span footprint, low-sloped roof, and a massive western-facing front window flanked by jalousie windows. The sandstone gas fireplace anchors a sun-drenched living room that flows into a dining room with valance up-lighting and a kitchen with sensitively updated cabinets, original flooring and counters, an indoor grill, and an eat-in bar. Three bedrooms include one with an articulating wood wall (ideal home office) and an oversized primary with vintage pink-tiled en-suite featuring a sunken tub. Set on over half an acre with xeriscaping, a water feature, and sunset views. A rare opportunity to own a piece of Fort Collins MCM history.

The walk-out lower level adds a second living area with fireplace, a bedroom with en-suite (ideal in-law suite or possible STR, zoning permitting), and flex space for a home gym.

Outside, a 9,000+ square foot lot flows into an integrated courtyard and grassy backyard oasis, while recent updates—new roof, insulation, windows, exterior paint, and owned solar—ensure this is mid-century modern living expanded and elevated without losing what made it special in the first place.
