Buyers are always asking whether they can buy the actual model show home they see – and today Village Homes is offering to let you do just that: Not just any show home, but a 3,900-square-foot Copeland walkout ranch with decorator treatments by Innovative Spaces — at Southshore, the master planned community wrapping Aurora Reservoir.
This is a ranch designed by Jerry Gloss of KGA Studio Architects of Boulder – a legend for his national awards. It’s loaded with over-the-top appointments, including amazing outdoor living spaces – a party-sized covered deck that’s fully covered, flanked by a rock fireplace; and a second covered patio on the walkout level. The price is $731,000. There are three bedrooms on the main level, including an amazing master suite with an atrium entryway; as well as a fourth guest bedroom on the finished walkout. The home has a full-wide three-car garage with overhead space high enough to hoist a show car; and the landscaped yard opens onto a Southshore greenbelt. Village’s Nance Meyer, an expert in this ranch-type product, says the buyer could be coming out of suburban neighborhoods where single-level living is hard to find; or maybe from acreage property in Parker or Elbert County (Village has numbers of buyers from that profile). In addition to wanting lower maintenance, that buyer already knows the appeal of the schools here, the reservoir, and the new shopping. Meanwhile, this Copeland has been a strong seller for Village – sales that have already approached the show home’s price, without having its lavish complement of designer upgrades. Village has it on the market to make room for its next series of ‘Artistry Collection’ models, the first of which are a month from completion on sites across from the show home, from $415,900. The new series includes a ‘Collier’ ranch that’s already earned six sales well in advance of completion. On this show home you’ll see an unusually wide-open kitchen that reaches back to a large butler’s pantry space was a feature of all of these Copeland ranches – but done up with top quality cabinets throughout, over engineered hardwood floors. The great room has a designer fireplace setting in flagstone, wrapping a trendy ribbon firebox design. The master is a tour all by itself – a large separate sitting room shown as a study off the atrium entry; loads of room in the bedroom for furnishings; and a bath with split vanities, soak tub, and huge, seated walk-in shower. The second full bedroom suite nearby has two closets, one a walk-in, to add wardrobe space to the master. And any buyer coming from a larger or smaller home that they’ve outgrown is going to find giant storage space here. The finished walkout has a huge recreation space and the guest bedroom; but gives way to a giant unfinished storage area beyond. Southshore also provides access to a Cape Cod-styled lake club overlooking the Reservoir’s miles of trail-lined shore. You’ll pass the Cherry Creek middle school/high school campus when arriving from Smoky Hill Road, and new dining that’s arrived along with a flagship King Soopers ‘Marketplace’ store – including Dion’s and Kneaders Bakery. To visit Village’s Copeland ranch show home from E-470, take Smoky Hill east past Southlands, two miles to Arapahoe Road, turn left, and continue a mile to Shady Grove, then turn left to Costilla.at DenverPostHomes.com
