Getting your player ready...
If you’re home-shopping now – whether it’s your first purchase, or a ranch that you’re hoping is your last – you know firsthand what the experts are saying: Denver is the fastest selling market in the nation this summer, and buying a resale house involves bids, counter-offers and other hassles that take a lot of the fun out of it. All of which underscores how much value KB Home is going to show you today in Dacono, off I-25 four miles north of the 470 tollway.
You literally won’t believe how much home is represented by the new Lewis model you’ll tour in newly opened Sweetgrass: Four bedrooms, 3½ baths, plus a study, plus a loft, plus a basement; over 2,500 square feet of finished space, and a family-entertainment area layout that you’re never going to find in an older house – much brighter, more inviting – open yet intimate. KB Home will build that house for you at Sweetgrass from $306,995 – and yes, there are some lots that have no lot premium. “We’re continually talking with buyers that are getting discouraged by the experience they’re having shopping resale homes in Denver, Boulder, Thornton and Longmont,” says Matt Mandino, Colorado Division President for KB Home. “Homes like these at Sweetgrass have an appeal that outperforms resales in any market, but right now, people literally can’t believe how much more they’ll get by buying here and how much they save on utilities with an Energy Star certified home.” That works for a family-sized home like the Lewis; but also for somebody trying to get out of their older place and into single-level living. “Already around half of our buyers opt for ranch plans,” says Mandino. KB Home has five ranch possibilities at Sweetgrass – showcased from a Hawthorn ranch model – just under 2,000 square feet finished, and offering the option of a 3-car garage on some sites. Meanwhile, KB Home’s ‘Built-to-Order’ program lets the buyer drive the process on options – whether they want to keep costs to the absolute minimum, go all out with customization, or stay somewhere in between. “We’ve met some people who are very serious about down-sizing; they’d prefer a two-car garage and want a smaller yard that’s easier to take care of,” Mandino adds. “Others prefer a larger home with a 3-car garage. At Sweetgrass buyers have a wide choice.” Sales reps Martin Warner and Slater Jackson use a buyer-friendly approach that lets you explore options and see the costs involved. They’ll show you four homes that’ll deliver late this summer or fall, and how Sweetgrass works for commuters – particularly if you work along U.S. 36 or out at DIA. Sweetgrass is west of Dacono’s historic downtown — closer to Denver than Erie, Firestone, Frederick are. To visit, take I-25 north past E470, four miles to Exit 232 Erie/Dacono, turn east on Summit Boulevard (Road 8) a mile to Sweetgrass Parkway, then turn left past the charter school.
