If you’re in Thornton and have been thinking about remodeling your 15-year-old home to add badly needed space, Lennar Homes will quash your plans today after a quick visit to a new model grand-opening at Villages at Riverdale, east of Quebec on 128th. Lennar has already done that to six homeowners this month – reversing their course in the direction of an entirely new home, often with a fourth bedroom with its own bath, at prices that make the choice a no-brainer.
Lennar’s David Bubes can see that pattern clearly now: Families start thinking about a remodel, then start looking at area re-sales, which usually have the same space issues that their old place has. Finally they walk into Lennar’s new ‘Tyler’ – it’s decorating is completed today – three bedrooms up and a large study on the main with a full bath alongside, shown as a 4th bedroom. The price is $256,900 – one of the lowest of Lennar’s six designs. “That’s what a condo cost a few years ago,” Bubes says. “This isn’t rocket science; it’s a chance to get buyer’s market prices, in a market that’s changing fast.” So fast, Bubes adds, that many buyers walk in the door with their older homes already sold. “Realtors tell them they have to put the house on the market first to see what it gets. Then it suddenly sells and they need something in a hurry.” A family in that jam will like the looks of a 4-bedroom ‘Wilson’ that Lennar has nearing finish — a rarity in this faster-paced market. One of those extra bedrooms has a private bath suite – perfect, Bubes says, for a teenager who’s beyond sharing the Jack-n-Jill, or for Grandma coming from New Jersey. It’s specked out with Lennar’s Premier level ‘Everything’s Included’ package – full basement, 9-foot ceilings on the main, solid surface counters, maple kitchen cabinets, hardwood floor in kitchen, nook and entry, 2-inch blinds, and all appliances including fridge and washer-dryer. Buy it now and Lennar will toss in front-and-backyard irrigated landscaping at no extra cost. With only 15 lots left, Bubes and Pam Warner will also show you a few that back to open space and/or can take a 3-car garage. And they’ll fill you in on Lennar’s energy conservation – 2×6 walls with blown-cellulose insulation: MUCH more efficient than homes were even six years ago. You can see where a 27-J elementary school is coming, and trails and pocket parks. To reach take 120th east from I-25 4.5 miles to Quebec, then left to 128th and right.
