At a moment when resale houses in areas like Mayfair and Park Hill are selling at a fast clip, the new patio ranch designs in Stapleton that those sellers imagine themselves downsizing to are about to disappear.
Boulder Creek Neighborhoods, which started the hugely successful low-maintenance ranch trend in Stapleton and has the only remaining models of those, is wrapping up six final ranches in the master-planned community — the last low-maintenance single-family ranches Stapleton will offer.
You can see those Sunday, Sept. 8, and buy one. But after that, you’re out of luck.
“We’ve seen ranch buyers who visit our Stapleton models year after year, waiting for the right moment to sell and buy into a new, main-floor living home,” says vice president of marketing Jessica Champlin, showing off Boulder Creek’s super-popular Entice ranch thatap been its biggest seller. “When they find out we’re close to selling out, they can’t believe it.”
Just how enticing is the Entice?
“This is it,” Denise Pushnik said a year ago, after taking one look at the model after she and husband Paul celebrated her birthday with their Stapleton grandkids.
Paul, who had waited in the car as Denise toured the home, says the pair had talked for years about a re-size move.
“There was something about it (the Entice) that was more ‘us,’ ” he adds. “It has a beautiful kitchen, and Denise loves to cook.”
Now, they’ve sold their Littleton home (just four days on the market) and they’re settling into an Entice in Stapleton’s Beeler Park, a few miles from where you’ll see those final ranches.
Paul and Denise both rave about the purchase process with Boulder Creek — how the team went out of its way to help them visualize the plans, accommodate their schedule and arrange the financing.
Visualizing the plans is something that the purchasers of these final six homes won’t need to worry about, says Nathan Garner, who with Connie Archer will show you those Sunday, Sept. 8. Their Entice and Dream models, the three patio ranches ready for delivery now, are a few blocks east of Stapleton’s Eastbridge Town Center, with Cattivella, Chingones, Concourse and its landmark Constellation ice cream shop, shaded by a vintage 1950s airliner that harks to the site’s airport past.
Garner says residents are also close to Stapleton’s wildly popular Stanley Marketplace with more taverns, and are just two blocks from the Bluff Lake Nature Center and Sand Creek bike trail, linking west to the Platte River trails.
Itap a location, he adds, thatap alluring to buyers coming out of older, east Denver neighborhoods close by, who often have kids who have already moved to Stapleton. He also sees purchasers commuting to the Fitzsimons/Anschutz medical campus, four minutes from the model homes.
You’ll find a three-bedroom Dream patio ranch, ready to go, at $599,304, and two Entices ready from $648,944.
Boulder Creek ranks among Stapleton’s most energy-conscious, sustainable builders.
On your trip in, while the Havana Way bypass is still under construction, take MLK east past the airliner at Eastbridge, turn south on Quebec, then east on 25th Drive.
