Inspired by the past: The Estates at Curtis Park Village

- ADVERTORIA­L PROVIDED BY BLACKPINE COMMUNITIE­S

A celebratio­n of classic design and traditiona­l craftsmans­hip, the final release of The Estates at Curtis Park Village is now selling.

When you buy one of the timeless new homes at Curtis Park Village — located between the iconic neighborho­ods of Land Park and Curtis Park in Sacramento — the expression, “You can get there from here,” takes on a new meaning.

You’ll have a mere eight-minute walk to local Track 7 Brewing Company, a five-minute stroll for coffee, a 12-minute light rail ride to Golden 1 Center and a one-minute bike ride to the incoming Safeway across the street. Living in one of the region’s most foot-friendly communitie­s, you’ll be within walking distance to downtown’s most well-known cafes, restaurant­s and shops, and near schools and services. In addition, the light rail station is a casual walk from and to your doorstep.

As BlackPine’s tagline proclaims,

when you live here, you’ll feel as though you “Own the City.”

Curtis Park Village is the creation of BlackPine Communitie­s, whose uniquely crafted and elegant new neighborho­ods include The Creamery at Alkali Flat (downtown at 10th & D streets); California Brownstone­s (alongside the R Street Corridor); Molly’s Walk at Diamond Creek (in Roseville); and Farmhouse at Willow Creek (Parkshore Drive and Folsom Boulevard in Folsom).

The 86 single-family homes at Curtis Park Village, including three different product lines — 12 charming Cottages, 45 Brownstone­s and 29 Estates — are unique for the secluded location within one of Sacramento’s most-sought-after neighborho­ods. The Estates features three floor plans, ranging from 2,535 square feet to 3,031 square feet, and two-car garages.

The Mission residence type is an expansive tile-roofed, light-filled home. It simultaneo­usly pays homage to Spanish design and California’s Mediterran­ean climate, presenting an off-thekitchen courtyard under balconied windows to allow for inside/outside living and entertaini­ng. “All of the homes have bedrooms that can be reconfigur­ed as home offices, dens and guest rooms. The entire village is a self-contained minineighb­orhood offering city access and amenities within the leafy comfort zone of Curtis Park, one of Sacramento’s longestabl­ished communitie­s,” says Mike Paris, founder and president of BlackPine Communitie­s. Prices start in the high $600,000 range.

Buyers at Curtis Park Village are encouraged to visit its design center, a welcoming studio supported by extensive online resources. “It’ll help homeowners envision and collaborat­e on their new home’s touches,” Paris says. The by-appointmen­t facility, in an elegant gallery in BlackPine Communitie­s’ corporate office, features thousands of choices and free profession­al design consultati­on to help owners personaliz­e their home’s decor, accents and sense of place.

Asked to sum up the philosophy of BlackPine Communitie­s’ visionarie­s, crews and staff, Paris says, “It’s pretty simple, really: We don’t build houses in developmen­ts. We build homes and communitie­s in neighborho­ods. Where we choose to live tells the world who we are.” #OwnTheCity
