Aug 29 – Modern Tour with an Old Twist

Bridget — Fri, 28 Aug 2009 16:21:58 +0000

Modern Design in the Old Neighborhood

I know the controversy continues…such modern architecture nestled in with old Victorian and classics. Does it work? Is it out of place?

Everyone’s opinion is personal. Regardless, the new modern architecture is here and it is showing up on a block near you! So lets go look at some!

The advantages of the new built homes are many. The obvious of newer electric, plumbing, and dug out basements. Open floor plans are sometimes the benefit along with upgrades galore for closet size, insulation, and amenities.

This week we will see some modern design and architecture designed from the ground up, as well as taking an older shell and working with what you have.

Join us on the tour and you will see;

3384 W. 33rd Ave – $639,900 &
3390 W. 33rd Ave – $649,900
** just blocks from the heart of the Highlands
4611 Hayward Pl. – $589,000 * this used to be a flat pitched roof home with only one bedroom!
3986 Yates – $575,000 * new Craftsman home with Solar!
4474 Zenobia – $350,000 * very contemporary style with Green features like a Tankless Water Heater and low flow toilets!
4575 Tennyson St #104 – $365,000 &
4575 Tennyson St #105 – $369,000
* a great little community of Urban Style Row homes close to the great Tennyson business district as well as dog & people parks.

Start time as usual is 10 am and this week we’ll meet up at Cafe Caliente on 32nd Ave.

Saturday is also the Tenn-Low Turismo Scavenger Hunt! We’ll end up by the festivities so you can check out all the fun after the ride!

Don’t forget to sign up so I know to expect you! Thanks and see you Saturday!

Aug 22 – First Time Home Buyer Special

Bridget — Thu, 20 Aug 2009 01:45:53 +0000

Bikes on Tour

This Saturday we are going to be keeping it REAL…estate that is. Seriously, most first time home buyers tell me they need to keep the price range closer to $300k price range. So HBBTs selection of homes include 3 of them that are UNDER $300k!

That may be too steep for you as well, but what the heck, join in the fun and if you would like to see other homes, I can create a tour specifically to match your buying power and desires.

So this week we will start at the Taza Cafe where I think I am going to try their signature drink, Horcha-tté, which is a perfect blend of Horchata and espresso. What Horchata is…I suppose I will find out on Saturday! See you there at 10am, but as always, please SIGN UP, so that I know you are joining.

Without further delay, here is this weeks HBBTs selection;

4820 King St – $264,900 – Your chance to get an Energy Efficient home at an affordable price!
4628 Raleigh St – $284,900 – has a Master Suite and 3 car garage
4365 Quitman St – $345,000 – Gardner’s will love this one!
3025 W. 35th Ave – $285,000 – is a 2/1 bungalow with a lot of sq.ft.
2545 Julian St – $375,000 – Stylish remodel!

I hope to see you on the tour where you can learn the NW Denver neighborhoods and have a chance to meet new friends!
See you Saturday!

Ride Review

Bridget — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 19:27:42 +0000

With coffee and egg’n'cheese sandwiches to go, the six of us hopped on our bikes to start the tour of 5 NorthWest Denver homes. A good cross section of riders included a Highlands couple, Wash Park couple and a Berkeley resident where we all had the love of walkable, bikeable neighborhoods in common. Our first stop ended up being tour favorite with the too-good-to-true back yard bbq kitchen remodel at 3316 Raleigh St. Complete with pergola, outside grill, bar space, and refrigerator none of us wanted to leave and were able to capture some great home improvement and garden ideas for ourselves.

We crossed 38th Ave and saw the most remarkable home of the tour 3821 Lowell Blvd. The 1890s home has been completely redone by a local architect couple and boasts over 2000 sq ft of historic charm and refinement. Original wood, moldings, staircase and more, this home exudes history but lives modern with its high ceilings, gourmet kitchen, lavish bathrooms and large closets – on an 9520 sq ft lot! The busy location near 38th and Lowell was no longer a deterrent as the home and lot are truly superb!

Through quiet, treed streets we made out way down Julian to see two more remodeled Tudor homes.

Having too much fun and not wanting to end the ride just yet, we all continued our ride to Rocky Mountain and Berkeley Lakes, followed by a ride down Tennyson to see all the local activity.
