The newest addition to the Cherry Creek North neighborhood is the Halcyon Hotel, completion and grand opening within days. Interesting that a hotel built in 2016 bears the name Halcyon which suggests a period of time in the past with everything blissful, joyful and carefree. But how clever the name and even more clever that some of the amenities within the hotel will reminisce the halcyon days. Trending at the Halcyon are long playing record players in the guest rooms and true concierge hosts. Wow, the guests may even dress up for this hotel...what a concept!
This is the first hotel built in Denver's tony Cherry Creek North neighborhood in over a decade, the timing is spot on!
I would book immediately but I live and work a block from the
entrance! Stop by Mile Hi Modern at 255 Clayton and we can see and be seen at the Halcyon!

The Aspen Idea is a true "modern" forward thinking idea, and, it was developed in 1949! I was developed in 1949, my license plate is ZG (the original Aspen plate)!
Walter Paepcke formed a think tank of modernist thinkers, scientists, artists, academics and musicians and created what is now the Aspen Music Festival and Aspen Institute for Humanistic Studies. It is still growing, still modern and still strong.
They enlisted Eero Saarinen, you know him...even sat in his chairs! Saarinen designed the first tent in 1949, later to be replaced by a more permanent structure by the beloved Aspenite Fritz Benedict, along Casttle Creek Road in 1965, Mid-century modern at its peak. Now the twenty-three acre campus, with the new completion of the Buchsbaum totally modern structure under the guidance of architect Harry Teague, is the command central for international students, musicians, colleagues, and in general great minds. Teague also designed the Benedict Tent right in the heart of Aspen where music meets nature.
Aspen also boasts two major art museums, the Aspen Art Museum designed by Shigeru Ban and the Powers Art Center, a private museum housing a massive collection of Jasper Johns, in nearby Carbondale, designed by Hiroshi Manamori.
But hold on, you say, Aspen is a mining town turned rock star see and ski to be seen mecca. Yes...and, no!
Aspen has long been on the cutting edge for cities in Colorado engaging in classic modern design, probably running a close second to the Flagstaff area of West Boulder. It is amazing what can happen to a city or town or community when the citizens engage in recognized architects of pedigree.
For more information on Aspen, the Aspen Music Festival featuring a provocative menu of Russian and Eastern European composers, from Tschaikovsky and Shostakovich to Bach, Beethoven, Mozart and Schubert with symphonys that resonate political turmoil of their time in world history. They were modernists for the generations.
There is still plenty of August left! Get to Aspen for the beauty of the Colorado Rocky Mountain High, the modern architecture and the music, food and thoughts; oh, and the real estate! Contact me for more information on what to do in August in Denver and Aspen!

Ahhh... eating a Palisade, Colorado peach, listening to Spotify from my live/work place of happy...a bit of the sweet life!
Denver is known for craft beer and high altitude breathing, but once the end of July appears on the calendar the Farmer's Markets abound in the area. To enjoy the peaches from the Western slope, field grown tomatoes from Longmont, cantalope from Rocky Ford and fresh corn from Olathe check out these markets.
Cherry Creek hosts a Wednesday and Saturday morning Farmer's Market, Sunday is the day for South Pearl Street and City Park Esplanade Fresh Markets. Stapleton added a new market for Thursday and the regular Sunday market. There are also markets in Broomfield, Westminster, Boulder and Castle Rock! Who knew? We did of course, well we of the Mile Hi Modern Team.

SOLD by JudysDenver |
ShareThis

The incredible listing at 333 Josephine St in Cherry Creek North with approxiamately 900 square feet of commercial zoning on the main level and 4 (count them) parking places is sold and closed. Right folks....another great opportunity has slipped away.
The townhome was the perfect combination of real estate perfection. The main level with commercial zoning can be leased for a small office, there are no small office leases in Cherry Creek right now. This particular unit also has a newly finished basement with temperature controlled wine room and an extra bedroom and bath. With the extra square footage the total for the townhome is 4515 finished square feet.
Needless to say, it over appraised...by A LOT! Sellers are happy, Denver boasts an increase in values at 40 % this sale went higher than 40%...by A LOT!
If you are looking to buy or sell real estate in the Denver area, do give me a call. As a fourth generation native, I have lived in most of the communities where I choose to specialize. There are incredible opportunities out there, you need a professional to navigate....afterall, the CEO of Zillow,
Spencer Rascoff's home just sold for 40 % less than the Zestimate from Zillow...a major Zestmiss! He can afford to take the hit, but can you?

Cherry Creek Love |
ShareThis

Spring is in the air and Cherry Creek is in full bloom parading the neighborhood with new love and the long awaited opening of the Cherry Creek Farmer's Market! This May to October affair brings vendors from all over the state promoting healthy living under colorful umbrellas. The early May venues sell from the prepared food trucks and bakery stalls, with a small number of the pure "farmer" stands due to the time of year. However, overheard many a question such as...
Do you have the Zucchini flowers? A bit hard to harvest the canary yellow trumpet blossom off the zucchini in May. Hard to believe the memory loss...it was snowing two weeks ago!
This is a harsh reality for many of our new Denver residents,
the local produce will be available mid to late July.. lack of inventory. Trust the Farmer, the red tomato in the bin is not field home grown and don't even think Olathe corn yet..lack of inventory.
Speaking of lack of inventory, another harsh reality in the Denver urban market is the current drought on really cool real estate for purchase, it is the spring farmer's market. If you are navigating your home search on the internet, you will find a lack of inventory because the great, great properties are usually under contract prior to the entry into the MLS...aka Internet. Trying to use Zillow as your pocket spy for that stellar piece of real estate is akin to staring endlessly at the zucchini field for that burst of yellow on the bloom. Trust the farmer, and trust the Realtor.

Mr. Gray I presume? No, no wait it's May, that Gray. Yes, all you newbies to the state that brags 360 days of sunshine, the merry month of May is very grey, gray.
Begs the question is it spelled gray or grey? Yes, both are correct another nuance of the English language just as the weather in Colorado is a bit of a nuance. This gray, cloudy, drizzly weather is not typical of a May in Colorado but not atypical either...it could be white and snowing! So you say that you would rather forgo the balmy days of the February thaw for more springtime weather in May? No you would not, winter is winter in Colorado so appreciate the days that you can thaw. Come on people....Denver is a mile high...the altitude is 5280 above sea level ....mountain desert type...
which is why you moved here. Let's enjoy these gray days and reflect on the endless reasons why you did move to Denver, the first I am guessing is for the weather.
If you did not move here for the weather or the various outdoor activities, you may have moved to Denver for the urban scene. Denver has gone from a nice city in a nice state to the singular rock star status of ...Denver! You do not even have to say Colorado anymore...people just get it.
The Denver scene includes major new and trendy artisan or farm to table restaurants and ethnic cuisine. Perfect spots for a rainy day and Monday. The Denver scene also includes theatre options, the Denver Center for Performing Arts and many neighborhood theatre groups and venues that perform amazing productions with local talent. The Denver scene also includes jazz clubs, comedy clubs, and cabarets with local and international talent. Nothing will lift the gloom and doom spirit better than a bit of spirit from one of the many local craft beer joints or a locally branded whiskey bar. You will find it all in one location...Denver!
Call me for more information on the indoor activites Denver has to offer in the various neighborhoods. Denver now has various neighborhoods branded for the type of activity that will motivate the May!

Under Contract! |
ShareThis

Say it isn't so, you say....but it remains true. In this incredibly challenging market with multiple offers, NOT IN MLS sales, and circuitous lending obstacles, working without a Realtor on your side as a Buyer or a Seller is bad advice...even if it is from your dear old Mother.
Case in point, 333 Josephine St #2 in the coveted and prestigious Cherry Creek North area, is under contract and most Buyers missed out on the opportunity going forward for owning 4515 finished square feet, 4 parking spaces, and 899 finished square feet that is zoned for Commercial leasing...yes leasing! Investors....hmmm, you know the old saying about snoozing! This luxury townhome with 11 foot ceilings and 21 feet in room widths is a fraction of the per square foot cost of the competition...250 Columbine sold for a minimum $750 psf with one-two parking spaces, low ceiling heights, and it is only one block away!
The Cherry Creek North area, increasing in values daily, will soon have three new luxury hotels multi-use office, retail and residential combos, top chef signature restaurants, toney shops, watering holes...what is not to love, or better yet, what is not to invest in! But hurry, the developers are scrambling for available land so the competition will be increasingly tough.
If you are interersted in more information on Cherry Creek or other fabulous communities in and around Denver, give me a call. As a 4th generation native, I know Denver and Denver knows me!
