Sneak a peek at Koelbel’s Peak II model – new two-bedroom home in Denver’s trendy Berkeley area, from only $634,000
If you’ve been shopping in Denver’s trendy Tennyson/ Berkeley area for an attainably priced home, Koelbel Urban Homes has a great option to preview today: a Peak II Flatiron paired-home design, from $634,000, with all the advantages of Berkeley’s location and none of the projects that fixer-uppers require. KUH’S new 5390’ neighborhood — which refers to the area’s elevation, 110 feet higher than Denver’s official mile-high elevation — is just nor th of Tennyson’s restaurant row, surrounded by Willis Case Golf Course, a 15-minute rush-hour commute from Speer Boulevard in downtown. Like older homes in Berkeley, they’re close to some of Denver’s nicest parks and best restauranttavern scenes, with dozens of new attractions open — while offering new, brighter interiors for entertaining, better usable space and two-car attached garages. The new Flatiron model isn’t set to open until July 28; but you can get a first peek inside today: almost 2,000 square feet of space including finished basement space, a two-car attached garage and a rooftop deck. That model is from KUH’S new Peak II series, priced in the high $600s and $700s — and already pre-selling rapidly. Nearby, you’ll see where KUH is starting six Lookout series homes — an even more attainably priced Peak II series, offering two bedrooms, two baths plus a powder room, 1,772 square feet plus rooftop deck and twocar attached garage (basements are optional). They start at only $634,000, a real price that will deliver a home early next year, if you don’t add options. You’ll also see the other series that defined 5390’ for higherend buyers, including the finished model of KUH’S larger, fast-selling Peak I collection. If you like its looks, Koelbel’s Thomas Prendergast will show you a final available Peak I home, just like the model, that’s ready to deliver — four bedrooms and four baths, over 2,300 finished square feet, at $1,025,089. KUH also has one new singlefamily Prairie design remaining on Vrain Street, priced at $1,235,239. “The popularity that 5390’ has displayed with high-end buyers underscores the value of the lower priced Peak II designs now arriving,” says Dana Keller, KUH’S vice president for sales and marketing. “The higher-end Flatiron plans have already pre-sold rapidly — not surprising, as a $600s price point in a master-planned golf course community is a rare find. The lower priced Lookout plans are just as good a value, and they’ll disappear fast.” During your visit you can pass through Berkeley’s Tennyson Street, a mile south, and you can see how quick the commute is to downtown and Lodo (5390’ typically shows a better downtown commute than from Hilltop, Wash Park or Observatory Park), as well as the quicker getaway for heading west to ski areas. From West 38th Avenue in Berkeley, take Tennyson north a mile to West 50th and turn west to KUH’S model; or from I-70, exit either westbound at Lowell or eastbound at Sheridan, and continue a half mile to Tennyson, then turn north.
