When a builder like Colonnade Communities makes a master-planned neighborhood, there’s a reason why… At Pioneer Hills, a luxury enclave holding a one-week sale on a 1,494-foot townhome, the reason why lies just east in Piney Creek, a popular single family area that was a Parade of Homes in the 1980s and spawned upscale neighborhoods for decades afterward.
When you have nice single-family homes, sooner or later you have kids who grow up and leave…empty nesters who want out of shoveling snow…people changing, needing newer spaces. Most of those people still want to stay in the same neighborhood, with its trails and Cherry Creek Schools; and Colonnade reaches to them with a neighborhood that has a secluded feel, big pool and cabana, parks and trails.
“People get tired of taking care of larger houses,” says Silvio DeBartolomeis, who’ll be on hand today, with coffee and lots of fresh-baked cupcakes, to show you the sale home. It has two bedrooms and 2-1/2 baths…including a luxury 5-piece master bath, a great room with fireplace, basement and 2-car attached garage.
The price of $239,900 is a huge discount from its original list — $80,926 off. You can also see a few other homes of the same floor plan at $250,000; and some bigger 3-bedrooms with over 2,000 feet, all at huge discounts, $50,000, $60,000 or $70,000 off.
Needless to say, this will work even if you don’t live in Piney Creek, just taking advantage of the federal tax credit (it requires a contract by April 30 and closing by June 31… Any of these homes qualify, even allow you a little time to pick custom colors on some.
Buyers are already moving on the prices. All of the Phase-I ranches are gone, and Thursday the model home went under contract (it was the most expensive in the community). If you don’t meet your caffeine quotient during the tour, you can walk the trail over a footbridge to Pioneer Hills Shopping Center, with its “Grind’ coffee shop with free wi-fi; a half dozen other restaurants and taverns including Jason’s Deli, Purple Orchid, T.G.I. Friday’s and more.
“This is a new urban concept,” DeBartolomeis added…walkable to two dozen stores, Home Depot and Wal-mart beyond, with Light Rail five minutes away at Parker and I-225. To the west is Cherry Creek State Park, including its off-leash dog park and Cherry Creek Trail. The sale runs through Feb. 28, open today 10-5; take Parker Road south from I-225 or north from Arapahoe to Chambers; turn north 1/4-mile to the entryway.
