With a village-like ambience and a ranch-style rec center that won the Denver metro ‘Community of the Year’ Award not once but twice, Village Homes’ Idyllwilde neighborhood in Parker seems to capture the imagination of families, drawing them back to visit again and again. “Families in Parker come back to see every new model we build,” says Village’s Ete Rondeau, who’ll be on hand today when a new ‘Linden’ main-floor master suite model opens — a value that’s going to pull some of those buyers off the fence and into a purchase.
The Linden delivers 2,193 feet from $337,000–the best main-floor master you’ve ever seen at this price, with a well-defined entry, main-floor study and laundry, terrific kitchen, master with a windowed walk-in closet, and creative upstairs with loft. That’s before Village sweetens the deal by offering you a free finished basement with rec room and guest bedroom-bath, taking the size close to 2,800 feet.
Meanwhile, Rondeau says that just the community design is enough to get some buyers out of their old places, into Village’s high quality architecture. That’s what happened to Anne and Wyatt Hornsby and son Noah, 2, who were living in a Parker apartment when Wyatt stumbled onto Idyllwilde’s community trails while out running near Black Bear Golf Course. “It’s the architecture, the colors, the front porches,” he says. “It just clicked with us; we said ‘Let’s build.'” They close on their new home tomorrow…three blocks from the pool and rec center.
Figuring into that chemistry are new, state-of-the-art schools — new Legend High, and now Cimarron Middle School, both walking distance for Idyllwilde kids. “It’s fabulous,” says Rondeau, who saw her son’s grades go from C’s to B’s when Cimarron opened this fall. She’ll also show you the new ‘Crestmoor’ model Village opened just last month…”perfect for the family with two or three kids, particularly if you’re not into formal living-dining,” she adds. It’s already close to 2,000 feet, before Village adds on the free basement finish.
Village’s free finished basement offer is good on new home starts before year’s end (You’ll also see two homes–one’s a ranch–that could have you in by Christmas)…all with Energy Star features, 10-year third-party warranty, and a willingness to let you do it your own way. “Get ready for your jaw to drop,” says Rondeau. Idyllwilde is east of Parker Road on Hess, 1.4 mile to Canterberry Pkwy by the high school. You’ll also find Village in Castle Rock at Watercolor, west of I-25 on Meadows Pkwy; and Crossings at Castle Pines North, west of I-25 on Castle Pines Pkwy.
