Kentwood agent Jennifer Markus is an expert on Greenwood Village and Cherry Hills, where she’s seeing an even more exaggerated version of the low-inventory market that other Realtors are reporting now.
If you want to be anywhere in Greenwood Village, Englewood or Cherry Hills, you’ll find only 43 homes available, only 27 served by Cherry Creek Schools.
And if by chance you’re looking for a little acreage with a barn for a couple of horses, there’s only one — and she’ll show it to you Sunday, March 8, from 2 to 4 p.m.
At 5340 S. Colorado Blvd., you’ll tour a six-bedroom custom with seven baths, around 7,000 square feet finished, including a main-floor master in its own wing, and guest beds on an upstairs level and in a finished walk-out basement.
The entry to this secluded Hunt Club Lane area is from The Preserve’s west entry on Orchard Road at Colorado, but itap not in The Preserve and requires none of its HOA fees.
Rather, you angle west on Colorado out of the Preserve, following a track that curves north to a 3-acre site backing to the coveted High Line Canal Trail.
The price is $3.5 million.
Markus will point up numbers of other unique features — starting with newer architecture, built in 2012 — much newer than what you may be seeing in areas like The Preserve.
The main-floor master sets it among only three properties on the market now in the Villages with ranch-type layouts. There’s an oversized three-car garage with an additional 1,000-square-foot space overhead that could be finished as a big bonus room, and there are views west to the Divide from the master and great room, looking across the big site where you’ll find a fully equipped equestrian barn with two paddocks, electricity, water and fencing.
Markus adds that getting a property in this shape, requiring no updating, is particularly rare now.
“There’s an influx of buyers ready to plunk down money, but virtually no good quality inventory,” she adds. “When they hit the market, they’re gone within hours.”
The news and editorial staffs of The Denver Post had no role in this postap preparation.
