LIV Sotheby’s agents Judy Fahrenkrog and Rosie Nigh, both experts on Castle Pines Village, say that California buyers are driving a growing market for custom homes in the gated enclave wrapping the PGA International golf course, 12 minutes south of the Tech Center.
But they add that buyers for that price range see a difference between homes built after the 2008 downturn and ones built before, which often need a face-lift to get them salable.
They’ll show you the difference with a walkout ranch they have open Sunday, June 24, 1-to-4 p.m., thatap a great looker and that doesn’t need a lick of work to begin enjoying it.
Jack and Patricia Durliat were already living in Castle Pines when they brought in Boulder architect John Knudsen to create the contemporary, California-styled ranch you’ll see today: over 5,400 square feet counting the finished walkout, on a 1.57-acre site that peeks through the pines to the golf club’s most challenging fairway, No. 10.
Patricia is a designer, and she collaborated with award-winning Colorado Springs designer Katherine Speas on the eye-catching interior you’ll see — sand tones set against walnut floors and trim, with some arresting appointments including decorative calcite over the grand fireplace.
The entertaining areas have the higher ceilings that buyers want now and that open wide via one of those lock-n-slide door systems to a covered deck with outdoor kitchen and a fairway view.
The home is $2.85 million. Nigh says that price looks great to a West Coast buyer.
“A whole lot more house, newer, on more acreage,” she adds.
You’ll see two guest bedrooms on the walkout, one thatap almost a second master; deep tray ceilings with faux finishes; two studies; wine cellar; and a heated three-car garage.
Fahrenkrog and Nigh will have Arnold Palmers out. Take I-25 south to Happy Canyon Road, and head south to the first roundabout, then turn right to Gate 1.
The news and editorial staffs of The Denver Post had no role in this postap preparation.
