Getting your player ready...
Marc and Kristy Harden were happily settled into a 1950s tri-level in Park Hill when they were hit by a baby explosion — three kids in 3-1/2 years, that would set them packing for a 4-bedroom home, 3,500-plus square feet on a big Stapleton site. You can come tour the design that rode to the rescue today – a special preview of Infinity Home Collection’s new PURE neighborhood in Central Park West – two model homes, both of them 4-bedroom (or 3-plus loft).
“We loved it,” Marc Harden recalls of Park Hill, “but we outgrew it very quickly. It was an old house with small closets, no 4-bedroom upstairs, no flow, no place for the kids to play….” Now, as little sister Halle (12 weeks old) joins Reese (2 years) and Grady (3-1/2), the Harden’s old house is sold (in five days!) and the family is headed for fall move-in in Stapleton’s newest neighborhood, Central Park West.
Infinity’s PURE neighborhood – set to grand opening in July but open for preview today — features models averaging 3,000 square feet plus bonus-room option (the Hardens took that) that carries the size to 3,500 feet. Infinity can also finish basement space now, and has some of the largest lots ever released in Stapleton – over 6,000 square feet, room for sizable front, back and side yards, too.
“Check out the size of the garage,” said Infinity Partner/General Manager Dave Steinke, “room for the required toys and you could still shoot hoops.” You’ll also notice uncommon setbacks between homes, and the complementary architecture – one Coastal, one Craftsman, one contemporary Prairie – the one picked by the Hardens for modernistic styling they had liked in their Park Hill house.
“This had everything we wanted,” added Marc Harden, “also a certain sense of style.” Infinity’s Jesus Orozco says that the PURE concept not only provides distinctive architecture, but carries it through the interior with rich detailing in the same tradition. “When the architecture became defined, people started gawking at the models,” Steinke adds, noting that six families have bought them in the past 30 days, well in advance of the opening.
Along with things Park Hill didn’t provide (air conditioning), the Hardens also get many of the tech features you’ll see when you tour the HGTV home built by Infinity, a few blocks east (it’s open only two more weeks), including Energy Star 3.0 with 92%-efficient furnace, tankless water heating, and smart-home design that lets you “drive” your house from a dashboard on your iPad. From Quebec in Stapleton take MLK east a mile to Central Park Blvd., left to E. 33rd Avenue and left again to Uinta, or call Orozco for a private tour at 303-229-7845.
