You could tour homes in Denver and Boulder all year and never see one more striking than what Keller Williams agent Bonnie Peterson has open Sunday, Aug. 26, in The Greens at Vista Ridge, a custom enclave on the Colorado National Golf Club course in Erie.
This area featured the Denver Parade of Homes in 2004, but Broomfield-based Flatiron Development and Custom Homes built this very contemporary design in 2017, as the builder’s personal home.
At 1152 Links Court, you’ll see a four-bedroom-plus-loft/six-bath plan that delivers 6,573 square feet, including an attractive basement finish.
Builders this year say that buyers’ tastes are moving away from traditional, decidedly toward contemporary, wanting bright spaces higher and deeper than builders were doing a decade ago.
This home, beside a trailhead overlooking the golf club’s fifth and sixth fairways, is exactly what will resonate with that buyer — showcased from a great room with a 60-inch gas ribbon fireplace that seamlessly unfolds to a tall, covered patio by way of 16-foot cascading sliders, and beyond to a fire pit angling into the open space.
You’ll see a massive knotty-alder front door and a glass recirculating waterfall in the entryway; expansive entertaining spaces on white hickory floors; a white-on-white kitchen with six-burner-plus-griddle range, quartz tops, four-bottle wine dispenser, built-in coffee system, drink fridge and walk-thru pantry; a master with private deck and a mountain view; and a bright, rec-oriented basement with wine accent wall and a corner-seated bar.
The home is priced at $1.850 million.
Peterson says some early viewers are coming down Baseline Road from Boulder (11 miles), where this quality would be astronomically priced.
Vista Ridge, accessible to a downtown Denver, Boulder or Flatirons commute, has seen a hot market this year, according to Peterson, with a modest slowdown now thatap all about back-to-school, not a trend.
Nearby listings in The Greens run from $1.3 million on interior sites, and a home on the market in nearby Erie Airpark is at $2.85 million.
The news and editorial staffs of The Denver Post had no role in this postap preparation.
