Getting your player ready...
The kids are gone and you no longer need a big, suburban home. You dream of making the move to downtown Denver, to enjoy the restaurants, entertainment, sporting and cultural events of urban living. But you have many questions before making the life-changing transition.
From 10 a.m. until noon this Saturday, two veteran downtown Realtors – Paul Tamburello and Rick Flanagan – will host a workshop to address and answer questions from suburbanites considering a move to downtown. Tamburello and Flanagan are the principals of Red Chair Realty Advisors and the workshop will be held in a new town home they are listing at 3400 Tejon St. in the Highland neighborhood.
Topics that will be addressed include:
How to downsize from a large home and live comfortably in a smaller downtown residence.
How to prepare your family for change and how to begin the process.
Right-sizing vs Downsizing.
How to know when it’s time to Right-size.
Following the event, attendees will be directed to some of the fun places and great restaurants to visit in the Highland neighborhood.
Comfort level
“We visit with people on a regular basis who find the idea of living downtown to be very appealing, but they feel somewhat overwhelmed by the change in lifestyle, regardless of how much fun they know the change will be,” said Tamburello. “This event will give people a better sense of what to expect, and how to prepare for the changes that will come with purchasing a downtown residence. We want to make people feel more comfortable about their decision.”
Joining them will be Macky Bennett, an interior design expert. Not only can she provide tips on how to move from a single-family house to what is often a smaller downtown home, she is an example of someone who left the suburbs for downtown, and has enjoyed every minute of it. Not only do her children and grandchildren love to visit and experience all the city has to offer, Bennett and her husband also are enjoying the vibe of their urban setting. They frequently walk across the 16th Street pedestrian bridge (crossing I-25 and connecting Highland with downtown), to attend art events, cheer on the Rockies, Nuggets, Avalanche and Broncos, dine at restaurants and soak up the energy of the city.
“The memories won’t die, no matter what you throw away, but the opportunity to experience new ones will grow exponentially, especially in an energized urban environment,” she said.
