Denver Tourists |

Caravaggio, Bellini, Titian and other artists of the Renaissance arrived in Denver early January and plan on visiting through mid February. They are staying at the Denver Art Museum during their visit, housed in a lovely gallery with exceptional background color, lighting and photographic murals of their native city, Venice. Under the direction of curator Angelica Daneo, the Denver Art Museum has extroadinary art that rarely leaves Venice and difficult to view while in Venice. Denver art patrons, visitors and residents have the opportunity of a lifetime to closely view paintings that changed the world.
Having returned recently from France and Italy, it is rare that you can experience limited crowds in art museums that house exceptional paintings and artists. Touring the Louvre, the Gheary and the Pompidou in Paris and then on to the Galleria Nazionale in Perugia, the Museo de Signorelli in Cortona and all the incredible art in the cathedrals, rarely can you see a painting within inches of where it is hung. Denver has managed to accomplish this exhibit with all the respect and care that the Italian curators appreciate.
Unless you plan on sipping a Belinni on the Grand Canal soon, do not miss the chance to see this exquisite opportunity, the paintings return to Venice soon.
Very little is needed to make a happy life. Contact me, Judy Fahrenkrog, to guide you on the path to the lifestyle you deserve.

The "Mom" |
ShareThis
|
"To Be "Mom" Is To Be Queen", an article in the New York Times Sunday, Dec 4th by Jessica Bennett throws attention at the word "Mom" and its cool-ness factor amongst hipsters.
In other words, Gen Young uses the word "Mom" as a compliment, even calling Taylor Swift 'Mom" and Taylor likes it. Beyonce, according to the article, has a fan club that is constantly asking her to be their "Mom" and Beyonce likes it.
So now that "Mom" is the new bestie in terms of compliments, I would like to give a shout out to 2392 Saddleback Drive in Escavera, north of Castle Rock and just south of Castle Pines Village. Saddleback is the "Mom".
The 6,047 square foot home has 6 bedrooms, 3 on the main level, and 6 baths. It is a ranch on a raised walk-out giving that level the feeling of being a first story. The home is situated on a lot that is filled with Ponderosa pines and gamble oak. The interior has an open floor plan with the kitchen, great room, dining and hearth room flanked by a large stone fireplace. The home is filled with many upgrades, including hardwood floors, plantation shutters, built-ins, custom storage...the usual "Mom" bells and whistles but a tier up. The family/recreation room has it's own mini kitchen with refrigerator and one of the downstairs bedrooms is a duplicate master suite with a steam shower...the perfect setting for "Mom's Mom".
The home is move-in ready and available before the holidays. So wrap this "Mom" up for the holidays and give Mom the treat of her life... a new home in Escavera!

A Home For The Generations |

....this is your home! This six bedroom delight, nestled in a forest of Ponderosa Pines, backing to open space and move-in ready is the perfect home for anyone. I will generationally explain.
MILLENNIALS, also know as Echo Boomers, are moving into their thirties, marrying and starting families. Millennials want "homes" that have access to great schools, shopping centers, plenty of outdoor experiences and room for a growing family. Escavera is just north of Castle Rock in the Douglas County School District with plenty of blue ribbon schools. The community is also located just off Founders Parkwa; easy shopping accesson both sides of the parkway, the famed Castle Rock Outlet Mall, and soon the largest shopping mall installation to the west. Castle Rock is the seat of Douglas County with plenty of Colorado flavor in its quaint main street and home to the Douglas County rodeo. Escavera is a community that retains the beauty of Colorado in its architecture and landscape for half the price per square foot.
2392 Saddleback Drive in Escavera is a sprawling ranch with a raised walk-out that has a main level master bedroom with two additional main level bedrooms, one can convert to a study but it makes a perfect nursery for the Next Generation.
Three additional bedrooms are located in the raised walk-out.
GENERATION X...the generation prior to the Millennials, well established in their careers with established family units of teenagers and collegiates. The home at 2392 Saddleback Drive is a raised walk-out, more like a first story as it sits so high off the ground. The walk-out level has an exceptionally large family/recreation room with a stone fireplace and a small beverage/kitchen area, perfect for entertaining those high school teamates or collegiate roomates that want to come to this "coolest home in town". Pop that corn, play the charades or sit down for a Netflix in the bonus room that can work as a theatre room or all that exercise equipment.
The covered deck is perfect for a hot tub and the fenced yard has a large custom dog run. The walk-out level has three bedrooms, one bedroom is an additional master suite with a large steam shower in the ensuite bathroom. Gen X can house their older Next Generation group in the walk-out and not even know they are in residence. It also works perfectly for the Boomerangers!
BABY BOOMERS...this is your perfect empty nest home! You can live on one entire level and house all the visiting family members and houseguests with comfort and style. Escavera is such a beautiful Colorado experience with plenty of hiking and biking, equestrian centers nearby and fly fishing
directly to the west. Escavera is minutes from some of the most challenging and beautiful golf courses in Colorado, many are daily fee courses. The home at 2392 Saddleback Drive is also perfect for the empty nester ready to take up those long ignored hobbies such as woodworking or projecting. The oversized 3 car garage with a professional wall storage system and woodworking area is ideal for the hobbyist. The gourmet kitchen also beckons the Martha Stewart/ Contessa within, start refining your culinary talents on yards of slab granite counter space, center island, double sinks and double ovens. Host a neighborhood dinner club in the large dining room or book club in the cozy hearth room off the large kitchen. The floor to ceiling stone fireplace anchors the great room, seductively allowing the guests to move about freely. Broncos, Thanksgiving, Friendsgiving, holiday parties, birthday parties? Now we're talking!
Get in now to see this Generational Home, it won't last.
This house will be held open Sunday November 20 from 12-3

This is not really over the river and it is not your typical Grandma's house but it is in the woods and could be yours for Thanksgiving! It is located just south of Denver, a quick drive down I-25 to the wooded setting that you dreamed of when you made the decision to become Colorado! Escavera...where Denver becomes Colorado again. Nestled in a landscape of native Ponderosa Pines and Gamble Oak, with rock outcroppings and dry beds of native grasses, this is the picture postcard setting.
Available and move-in ready for the holidays, 2392 Saddleback Drive is a Caribou Custom ranch style home with a raised, above ground walk-out level and it just launched to market. This home was designed for entertaining! It features a main floor master suite and two additional bedrooms with one having the option to convert to a main level study. The huge great room is anchored by a floor to ceiling, two-sided stone fireplace which separates the great room from the hearth room and kitchen. The gourmet kitchen features double ovens, double sinks, slab granite, walk-in pantry, and gas range. A Colorado feel with designer knotty alder cabinets, baseboards and doors and custom wooden plantation shutters by Alpine Shutters, electric cord pulls by Hunter Douglas, along with the many upgrades in built-in shelving, custom padded hearth cushions for all 4 fireplaces and a custom wood design element table adding to the exceptional value of this home.
Two covered decks enhance the exterior experience with a custom staircase leading to a large dog run and exterior fencing that distinguishes the property from the dedicated open space beyond. The raised lower deck provides a mountain oasis, both decks have built-in storage for seasonal items. The professionally landscaped front lawn leads to a columned front porch, the perfect setting for giving thanks in the Adirondack chairs or porch swing. A three car garage, with a newly finished floor coating and a Colorado Space System wall for storage and organization with cabinets and a workbench.

Coolest Homes In Town |

Mile Hi Modern, The Coolest Homes In Town and the Hilltop Squad launch a mid-century revival to market this week....too cool to keep quiet!
The home was redesigned by Scott Parket of Nest Architectural Design in 2006 with interiors by Mikail Dantes. This home is show-stopping mega magazine material and indeed has been featured as the home of the year in Colorado Homes and Lifestyles.
The home's floor to ceiling windows allow clear views of the seductive courtyards around the perimeter. The 17 foot ceilings in the dining room, with clerestory windows, add vault and elegance. Ebonized oak floors, Lefroy Brooks modern bath fixtures and customized lighting by Jonathan Browning and Barbara Barry. The one original feature in the home is the wood burning fireplace in the living room with a new limestone surround.
The sleek and simplified but elegant quality of this home is the perfect answer for the buyer desiring to "right-size"! Buyers leaving large estate quality homes in the Villages such as Castle Pines or Cherry Hills, are willing to give up volumes of square footage and acres of landscaping if their lifestyle quality is maintained. Many of the urban choices reduce the square footage by eliminating lifestyle conveniences such as large closets, pantries, spacious utility rooms and entry ways. Downsizing is not a synonym for eliminating, this architect and designer got it right with the grand entertaining spaces and the living spaces for everyday. It is a must see!
Very little is needed to make a happy life. Contact me to guide you on the path to the lifestyle you deserve. I specialize in lifestyle change and life transitions. Now is the time to make the change and live the good life.

Be Prepared To Be Amazed |

Modernism, the new concept in today's new home build...right?
Well, no. Modernism dates back to the early part of the century, the last century. There is a beyond interesting article in Sunday's New York Times, "On The Bauhaus Trail" by Charly Wilder. It is a chronology and literary tour of the modernist movement, the Bauhaus movement, highlighting founders Walter Gropius and Mies Van der Rohe. Caught my eye since there is an homage to Walter Gropius in my Cherry Creek townhome. The article highlights the Bauhaus movement in various spots of Germany, beginning with the Bauhaus building in Dessau. It is amazing that so many structures, museums and craft pieces survived the reign of the Third Reich and the exodus of the designers from Germany around 1933.
I was not prepared to be amazed when I began reading this article, but I finished...amazed! I did not know that the first pre-fab kitchen was designed by an Austrian in 1926. Schutte Lihotoky was a designer within the Bauhaus movement and designed the Frankfurt kitchen, a built-in kitchen consisting of built-in kitchen cabinets, counters and slots for appliances. European kitchens, and American kitchens in the early 20th century had free standing cupboards for pantry items, dishes and cutlery. Having a cupboard attached to the wall was, for lack of a better term.. modern! That portion of the modern movement got legs and of course, post WWII, all the new homes built had built in kitchens!
The Bauhaus modern movement's motto was "Light, Air and Sun", which is why the homes designed by the architects, craftsmen and designers were mainly built with a flat roof and white facade...this is the 1920's people! Now in the almost 2020's and trending now, this style of design in new builds has surged in all cities, especially Denver! Samplings are sprinkled in older neighborhoods from Sloans to Cherry Creek North.
Some of the other amazing facts gleaned from this great article are the designs by Walter Gropius in the art marries technology field in 1923. Gropius designed the tubular lighting system and the levered door handle, something we touch everyday! Gropius did not establish a patent on either and had to escape Germany. Walter Gropius left Europe and to our benefit landed at Harvard, Mies van der Rohe escaped as well and migrated to Chicago! Thus the world became modern!
If you would like to visit some of the new, new modern builds in and around Denver contact me! As part of the Mile Hi Modern Team, we have plenty of modern homes to tour.
We are located at 255 Clayton Street in Cherry Creek North.

Give Chance A Chance |
ShareThis

If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change. Giving chance a chance will change perspective.
Examples are plenty, and easy to find during the extended coverage of athletes in the Olympics. Mixing things up is common with elite athletes and change is not uncommon...change in venue, change in coaching, change in attitude. Same holds true in the business of buying or selling real estate, change the way you look at things...the things you look at change.
If a property is holding on the market, the property and the marketing needs "mix it up" momentum. This theory is true on the buyer side too, if buyers cannot find a property, neighborhood or property within a certain neighborhood, the buyer needs to "mix it up"....choose a different park bench to sit on, maybe that will be the change needed. Change the way you look at things and the things you look at change. This is giving chance a chance and it will kick start the doldrums of a late summer real estate market.
I work with a plan of simple execution, I focus on what will sell. That premise brings focus to the marketing plan for sellers and allows buyers an insight into markets that are within my specialization. If I don't specialize in your market, I have plenty of team members that have that specialization.
This is giving chance a chance. Change your vision, change your direction.
