Talk a leisurely walk up to my front door and come in! You are always wecome.

The front yard is large, as you can see in the photo. I’ve got a driveway that could easily fit three cars (two side-by-side), plus a one car garage. There’s always street parking as the street I live on is a curvy suburban style street.

When you turn on Glencoe Street, you drive down a curvy idyllic 1950s California-esqe post-war suburb.

has an open feeling because of the large picture frame window that opens into the room letting in a ton of light and the large entrance into the dining room/kitchen. You can see straight to the glass sliding door at the back of the house. Note the custom shelves in the picture to the right. They are perfectly sized to display photographs of your loved ones or things dear to you.

room. Watching a movie while snuggled up under a blanket by yourself or with your family is a wonderful winter activity in this cozy living room.

From the living room, you can walk straight into the dining room. Off to the left of the dining room, you will find the entrance to the attached garage and an extraordinarily large walk-in closet. This closet is currently being used to store a rack of wine and several shelves of tools. Of course, you could use it to hold whatever you like.

From the dining room, you would also walk to the right and you’ll see the

enormous kitchen. The house originally had a galley kitchen, but the owner converted part of the extension of the house into a large dining room and kitchen. (The other half of the extension was converted into the Master Bedroom. The kitchen forms a U-shape with the open portion hosting a breakfast bar if you prefer to eat on the run. There is a walk-in pantry for those Costco shoppers ( You know who you are) and a large amount of cabinets.

This is the house's second full bath. It also houses a nook so you can do your laundry.

Retracing your steps, you now take a left down a hallway that leads off from the living room. Your first room is the hall bathroom and laundry room. It is a full bath, so you can have two people taking showers at the same time. Also, there is a nook that houses the washer and dryer.

Further down the hall are two more bedrooms. I’ve included the photos, but without professional photography equipment, it was difficult to take photos of the whole rooms. Both have good sized closets and have large windows with lots of light. (One things this house is not lacking is light.) I’ve included those two photos below.  All bedrooms (and the living room) are fully wired with cable, phone and internet.

This is the spacious and airy corner bedroom.

In the hallway, there is a also a closet where you can hang coats (or store other things.) This also doubles as the data closet- the hub of all the house’s networks.

Finally at the far end of the house is the Master Suite. First you enter into the antichamber. (We couldn’t figure out what to call this room….sitting nook, dressing room, TV room…antichamber seems to have stuck.) Again, the picture is not representative. Off the antichamber is the master bathroom. It is larger than it appears in the photo as there is a two-foot wide shelving nook where you can keep a laundry basket, towels and any additional things you need. LOTS of storage space.

Note the custom tile work in the center of the room.

The Master bedroom is plenty large. It also boasts a working fire place. Not only is it romantic, but it is very warm on those chilly Denver nights! This room also has a walk in closet, so plenty of space for your clothing.

They call it Colorado Style, but as far as I can tell, they are the only place that serves it, so I guess that makes it Beau Jo’s Style. Either way, it deserves to be recognized.

Real Estate Market Hot For Low, Mid-Priced Homes

DENVER – Denver-area homeowners living in the same neighborhood could have very different selling experiences — depending on their listing price. 

Real estate agents aren’t shy about discussing a red hot market being felt in the lower- and some medium-priced segments of the housing market.

“In fact, one of the agents in my office told a story this morning about how they were in bidding war and there were eight offers on the property,” said Gretchen Faber, a broker with The Kentwood Company in Cherry Creek.

Faber said the property was listed around $250,000. Properties that are moving faster seem to run from $150,000 to $400,000, Faber said.

“That’s the segment of the market where we’ve seen multiple offers, buyers having to make quicker decisions. The good properties that show well and are well-located are selling,” Faber said. “The higher price range is picking up, but it’s still a slower segment of the market.”

“It’s a complete dichotomy; two completely different markets,” said Charles Roberts, managing broker at Your Castle Real Estate.

“Between $250,000 and $350,000 — it’s not so bad. Under $200,000 it’s hot. And above half a million, it’s stagnant in most cases,” Roberts said in a recent 7NEWS interview.

Home buyers and investors seeking properties that have undergone foreclosure or are short sales are fueling sales.

“I looked at property in north Aurora and 37 offers were already put on it,” Roberts said. He added that the listing agent indicated that some offers were a third above the asking price of $70,000.

According to data released Tuesday by Metrolist, the average price of a single family home last month was $232,395, which is up seven percent from February.

The housing report also showed that listings under contract were up 15 percent last month compared to February. Sales volume, or the amount of homes that were closed on, increased 29 percent.

Sales were down 14 percent when compared to March 2008, the report showed.

The single family home designation includes both residential and condominium properties.

“We have a good combination of affordability and low interest rates,” Faber said.

She anticipated that overall market conditions will follow the positive strides being made now with lower priced properties, and said Denver is routinely ranked high in national studies in terms of market recovery and a place to buy property.

“I think Denver is a good bet,” Faber said.
