If you desire a private location in one of the most sought after neighborhoods in the south metro suburbs of Denver then you need to see this home. This home has been so desirable over the years that it rarely hits the market as other neighbors are lining up to get this location. Although it has changed owners a handful of times, it has not hit the open market since 1980.The wrap around deck and multiple trees on an island cul-de-sac give the feel of a private mountain retreat, but with all the amenities of a neighborhood, including, pool, tennis, pickle ball, clubhouse and hiking and biking trails ribboned through-out. Playgrounds and trails the connect to The Highline Canal that winds its way over 90 miles through Denver.The home sits 40 feet above the home directly behind which gives...

Denver's home prices have soared, leaving some first-time buyers out in the cold.    Some potential buyers have opted to live at home with the parents until they have stashed away enough for a big enough payment to afford a home.   With healthcare at all-time high prices, putting aging parents into assisted living can be financially impossible.   It is nice to have your parents close so you can personally care for them, or have home care come in and assist. Both of these scenarios are happening, and many families have come to a conclusion, living together just makes sense for the entire family!    I have the perfect home - 6711 S.

This home is in Harmony, and is expected to be completed in mid-September.    It is a ranch with three bedrooms and an office, and no basement.    This couple decided they would prefer absolutely no stairs, and have a home they can "age gracefully" in.     It is a very open floor plan, and a beautiful kitchen!    They love the fireplace and 3-car garage.    They plan for no grass in the backyard, but maybe turf and some bushes/flowers.  Congrats to these buyers!
