Getting your player ready...
On your way into master-planned Tallyn’s Reach today to see the final homes that Toll Brothers has in the community, you’re going to pass one of the handsomer schools you’ve ever seen: Cherry Creek’s Black Forest Hills Elementary, its roof covered in solar panels. It’s been open for only three weeks – but for Toll Brothers (their sharp architecture dominates the pine-shrouded neighborhood around the new school) pretty Tallyn’s Reach is a last chance, not a beginning.
In addition to the Craftsman-styled Ellingwood model home, there are only 14 remaining chances to be in The Vistas at Tallyn’s Reach, a neighborhood that has some of the best access to Tallyn’s Reach’s choice amenities. This is a community that started life with an exceptionally scenic setting, and matured beautifully. Included among those very last home-and-site packages are some walkout basement situations that overlook forested open space, with the community’s picturesque pool and community center just two blocks away. On one of those sites, Toll Brothers has a rare situation that’s ready for move-in right away: a Wetterhorn Craftsman plan that has four bedrooms, 3½ baths, and a 3-car garage – around 3,445 square feet of living space. There’s a 2-story-high family area centered around a grand fireplace flanked by high windows and an eye-catching double-back staircase. The gourmet kitchen has granite tops and stainless appliances; and the master suite shows his-and-her closets. It’s priced at $465,995. The home is walking distance from the new school, and isn’t that far from Cherry Creek’s Fox Ridge/Cherokee Trail middle-school/high school campus, both rated 8-for-10 stars at GreatSchools.org. “Everyone is very happy with the schools,” says Toll Brother’s Heather Gray, who’ll welcome you to the model. She’ll also point to other attractions that have arrived close by, including Southlands, with its popular town-square styled shopping and dining; and Aurora Reservoir, wrapped in eight miles of trail. E-470 makes this a good commute whether you’re headed west into DTC and Meridian; or north toward DIA. Prices for those final homes in the Vistas start right around $400,000. Toll Brothers is wrapping up a makeover of its sales office, so walk right up to the front door and into the model, 7355 S. Jackson Gap Way. From 470, take Smoky Hill Road east two miles to E. Glasgow, turn right, and continue a half mile to Jackson Gap.
