Sold before Print. Welcome to the Atomic Ranch :: Palm Springs meets Grand Junction. Built in 1958, this midcentury “Rambler” takes advantage of the land and views. Inspired by the Frank Lloyd Wright prairie-style design of the 1900’s, the ranch-level house originated in the 1930’s and 1940’s by architect Joseph Eichler, who built several in the west coast region during that time (think Palm Springs). The Rambler got its nickname from the larger lot sizes of the west, and the sprawling floorplans. The style is eclectic, with slightly pitched or flat rooflines, exposed beams, open concept living areas, large picture windows (affectionately referred to as the “eyebrow” windows). Although the sellers completely renovated the Atomic Ranch, they intentionally kept as many of the original features as possible (ie kitchen cabinets, drop beams, etc). They may not function as perfectly as brand new stuff but they prefer the character and charm (like, check out the door bell). Located just minutes from downtown, amenities (taproom at the corner) and the trails, it sits at the end of a charming mid-century neighborhood. With lots of elbow room, and overlooking the city lights and Colorado River below, it feels like a private retreat.
