Castle Rock’s Plum Creek, in a town where lots of new attractions are arriving downtown and with plenty of new homes available on the outskirts, makes a good case for why you might want to buy a slightly older home, rather than brand new.
Becky and Roy Kenny, 20-year residents of Plum Creek, will show you those reasons Sunday, Sept. 8, when you tour two listings they have on the market in The Peninsula at Plum Creek, amid four of the golf club’s fairways.
Those start with the club itself. Twenty years ago, when the house you’ll see at 1562 Peninsula Circle was coming out of the ground, the club was seen as sliding behind the pack, in an area with lots of good courses.
Now, Plum Creek has come under ownership of the exclusive Bear Dance club farther south, with a serious investment to upgrade it.
“They’re working to create the private club feel you get at Bear Dance,” Becky Kenny says. And most days, she adds, you can play a very enjoyable round for under $60.
The home on Peninsula Circle delivers a main-floor master suite, plus two guest bedrooms up, a loft and a main-floor office, for a total of 2,847 finished feet, priced at $545,000 — well under the average sale in ZIP code 80104. It’s open 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
It has the lush, mature landscaping you don’t find in new areas, fetchingly displayed in a big backyard where a deck overlooks a shaded trail corridor. There’s a full-wide three-car garage.
A few blocks away, you can follow up with another main-floor master plan at 1183 Foursome Drive, with a finished basement that takes its finished size to 4,640 square feet, with views across a fairway. Itap at $654,900 (open 1 to 4 p.m.).
Both homes will have refreshments.
Roy Kenny notes that each shows a cost-per-foot for finished space way below what buyers see closer into Denver — in a neighborhood that has a quiet feel and a close sense of connection to Castle Rock’s historic downtown, getting all of those new attractions now.
The news and editorial staffs of The Denver Post had no role in this postap preparation.
