During a spring in which builders are designing more space into smaller homesites with shorter setbacks, buyers who yearn for room to spread out can still find those properties, particularly if they’ll look at ones built before the current boom cycle.
Seth Jenson of Re/Max Professionals can show you a walk-out ranch like that Sunday, March 31, in the town of Castle Pines, with a site twice the size of typical newer lots and with mature pines and a commute time into the south I-25 corridor thatap the same as from Highlands Ranch.
Forest Park was one of the newer neighborhoods built in Castle Pines North just before it incorporated as the city of Castle Pines — on piney, south-facing slopes beside The Ridge at Castle Pines public golf course.
The four-bedroom contemporary ranch at 7302 Woodglen Place has the wide façade that larger sites allowed then, letting plenty of light to enter from front-and-back; and providing for a side-facing, full-wide three-car garage.
The 4,362-square-foot interior shows 10-foot ceilings with exposed beams; a chef’s kitchen with granite tops; an open entertaining area with fireplace/media center; an office; a master suite with a second fireplace, speakers, jetted tub and custom closet; and a nice walk-out level with spa and steam shower.
The price is $859,900. Comparing to values he sees along the E/C-470 corridor, “this is a lot more bang for your buck,” Jenson says. “And itap more secluded, almost like you’re in the mountains.”
Nonetheless, he notes, the drive time from here in to the Tech Center shows right at 15 minutes during non-rush hours, almost identical to comparably priced areas in Highlands Ranch.
He brought this on the market a month-and-a-half ago and is now lowering the price to spike the action — in a market, he says, thatap very good but displays caution in this upper-middle price point.
He adds that one of Denver’s most spectacular views is from Daniels Park, a mile west of here on Castle Pines Parkway, continuing onto Daniels Park Road.
The news and editorial staffs of The Denver Post had no role in this postap preparation.
