Patio Villas at Whispering Pines

At Whispering Pines in southeast, CalAtlantic Homes offers buyers a clear choice of ranch-style living

CalAtlantic Homes is offering a moment of clarity to all of those buyers who are combing the market now, searching for a lower-maintenance, ranchstyle home for after their old home sells. “We spend a great deal of time talking with people who are dealing with that decision,” says Dan Nickless, Denver Division president of CalAtlantic Homes. “We have great solutions, but the opportunity is slipping away from them.” Just east of the Gartrell Road exit from E-470 in Douglas County, you can tour CalAtlantic’s newly opened Stockholm and Athens Patio Villa ranches at Whispering Pines, a master-planned enclave where no home backs directly to another. Prices for those start from the low $400s. Along with the models you can tour, CalAtlantic has some homes ready for move-in this month with the same floor plans — for as low as $454,622. “We talk with buyers that have spent years weighing whether they should downsize, while new home prices keep rising,” says Nickless. “This spring you’re seeing a moment when you can get a terrific price for your older home and make

a move to low-maintenance, main-floor living with spaces that are much more inviting.” CalAtlantic’s newly arrived plans — already a strong seller at communities in Castle Rock, Arvada and Lakewood — have bright entertaining areas, wellapportioned master suites and options for a basement finish up-front that can double their living area. “They’re so well thought-out that some of our earliest buyers at Whispering Pines have

come from areas like Heritage Eagle Bend that were designed for downsizing buyers 15 years ago,” says Nickless. “When they see these models, they get a vision of how a downsize move would really work.” The Stockholm model — with more than 1,600 square feet in a 2-bedroom/2-bath layout on the main level, and with options for a finished basement for a third guest bedroom suite, party area and storage — shows an imaginative layout with a pri-

vate passage from eye-catching master bath, through a walk-in closet/dressing area, to a mainfloor laundry, and on to a center-island kitchen with pantry. It has a covered front porch and a covered rear patio. If you like the looks of the Stockholm, you’ll find CalAtlantic has one ready now, with a walkout basement that has the finished space. The home is on a cul-de-sac that backs to some open space, priced at $524,784. Its buyers

will enjoy Whispering Pines’ connectivity to the I-25/Park Meadows corridor (15 minutes via E-470) and to the airport, 23 minutes. You’ll hear about a theme-designed pool, bike trails and a 24-acre park headed for Whispering Pines, as a set-aside to protect Black Forest pines in the community. To visit the Patio Villa models, from E-470 take the Gartrell exit, head south a block to Aurora Parkway, then turn north a mile to Irish Drive and head east. As Irish becomes Sampson Gulch Way, continue south a mile to a circle, then proceed to Alder Drive. – Mark Samuelson writes on real estate and business; you can email him at [email protected].
