If you’ve imagined your family living in one of those Lowry neighborhoods around Sixth Avenue and Crescent Park – the area with the nicest single-family homes, the best access to parks and schools, and walking distance to Lowry’s shopping and dining – then the heat is on. Tomorrow, David Weekley Homes lights up the grill to showcase the last new single-family homes that Lowry’s core neighborhood will ever offer; indeed, some of the last that will ever be built in Lowry, period.
David Weekley’s Brian Walsworth and Michelle Wood will welcome you for barbecue at Park Lane in Lowry, north from E. Sixth on Uinta, where their new ‘Huron Peak’ model home is the most appealingly furnished single-family model Lowry has offered in the 17 years since it was an Air Force Base. It shows a stunning kitchen-family-dining area, a terrific bedroom level, and great specialty spaces – despite the fact that David Weekley was already roaring through its remaining sites in Lowry, long before this model opened. Now David Weekley has sailed through 31 sales in Park Lane and is down to only 19 lots — the last that any builder will have there. Earlier in the year Weekley and other builders plowed through final sites in Lowry’s East Park (Weekley’s final three sold in one day). Staying ahead of that brisk market, David Weekley is heading a few homes toward early move-in, for the growing number of buyers who are finding their older houses are selling fast — discovering that they’ll need to buy soon to avoid an interim rental. Walsworth and Wood can show you a couple of those early move-ins tomorrow – such as a ‘Capitol Peak’ with three bedrooms plus a main-floor study; on a site that faces onto a ‘mews’ tree lawn, as in a colonial village. The home has 2,225 square feet finished, plus basement and oversized 2-car garage. Weekley provides a covered front porch to match the village-like surroundings; a wide open kitchen-family area with 42-inch cabinet uppers, granite tops, stainless appliances and fireplace; and a security system. The price is $498,273; ready for move-in this month. From its master suite you can look across to Lowry’s permanent open space and trail along Westerly Creek; leading into Lowry’s vast Great Lawn Park and its sports complexes. Roughly ¾-mile southwest – much closer than from Weekley’s previous neighborhood — is Lowry Town Center with The Tavern, Albertsons, Starbucks and the new Lowry Beer Garden that just opened at Hangar Two. Wood and Walsworth can also show you a plan for David Weekley’s Blair Mountain ranch – 2,176 square feet of main level living – including one at 837 Uinta that’s on track for delivery this fall, at $508,800. Buyers attracted to that and other Weekley plans have often shopped all over resale homes in the area, where they see nothing with this openness and quality. …Or with this remarkable energy efficiency — HERS scores individually tested in the 50s; so low that Weekley buyers get a 3-year guarantee for energy performance from Environments for Living. That’s one reason why David Weekley is ranked by J.D. Power as one of only two national builders among the top 50 customer-service brands. Wood and Walsworth will give you a way to check that for yourself – inviting you to knock on any door to ask people about their experiences. To reach Saturday’s barbecue, take Quebec Street north from Lowry’s Town Center a half mile to Sixth; then head east a half mile to Uinta and left. If you go…
