Getting your player ready...
In a market where new homes are scarce and new ranch plans are rarer still, Village Homes has a wide-open ranch that’s ready to go today at Southshore, the resort-styled community along the shoreline of Aurora Reservoir with its miles of trails and a private residents’ lake. For a setting like Southshore – named national Community of the Year by Builder Magazine — Village has brought in its premium Signature Collection home designs with luxury sizing, elaborate architecture and very upscale features – showcased from two elegant models you’ll tour that are close to the water and to Southshore’s iconic Lakehouse community center.
The Manchester ranch has around 3,000 square feet of finished space, with three bedrooms and 3-½ baths plus a study, covered patio, a carriage-styled split-front 3-car garage, and full basement scaled with 9-foot ceilings for future finish. It’s on a third-acre lot – large not just for Southshore, but any new home area with this kind of access. The Signature Collection pedigree, says Village’s says Liz Wermers, comprises a design quality with less of the big-box look, more elaborately detailed on all four sides, to assure a home will still look as good ten years from now as it does today. You’ll notice the quality of Village’s finish and trim in the two Signature series model homes, one a main-floor master suite plan: exteriors with generous masonry, and showing wood railings, expanses of hardwood floors, 6-panel doors, slab granite, and maple cabinets, conveying lots of value in the base price. The surroundings at Southshore, meanwhile, are a perfect complement to that value. “This is a fantastic location, where you can walk into the reservoir’s open space and ride your bike to the swim beach,” says Liz Wermers, who’s ridden hers the reservoir’s full 10-mile circumference. She already has one Signature Collection sale here in excess of $900,000 – way beyond the price of this ready-to-go Manchester ranch, at $625,000. Wermers says her buyers like the balanced access to the south I-25 business campuses, but also to DIA – around 25 minutes. On the way in you’ll pass popular Southlands shopping center with a broad selection of main street dining; a Cherry Creek high/middle school campus; and a new King Soopers ‘Marketplace’ arriving. And you can tour eight more model homes from three more Village collections at Southshore – including the new Hometown Collection base-priced from only $345,900; along with Generations and Harmony Collection plans that show many more options that offer main-floor living.
