The Concord Model is Open!

 

The Concord Model is Open!

The team at Parkwood has been buzzing with excitement these last few months to finally showcase our new model, The Concord, and this September we finally got the chance! The grand opening event, held September 9th, was an amazing experience as we had team members from all over the country and an amazing showing from the whole Daybreak community to see this spectacular home (and to enjoy some pizza and ice cream).

The Concord is such an exciting addition to our portfolio of homes, designed with waterside living in mind. To learn more about what inspired the Concord and what Parkwood’s design goals were, I talked to our architect, Daniel Morales. Here’s what he had to say.

“The design of the exterior was inspired by the shingle style houses of New England and the upper Midwest lakes. The plan was designed to take advantage of the many sided water views with multiple opportunities for outdoor spaces, both in the yard and from the interior. What I like about the house are the dynamic qualities of the interior spaces  and how its exterior looks picturesque from different points of view. The interior was designed to be flexible to furnish, interesting to walk through, and give the occupant maximum views and natural light while affording privacy. Ultimately, we wanted to make a large house that felt intimate rather than oversized. “

If you’ve had the chance to walk through the model, then I think you’ll agree that Daniel accomplished everything he set out to do. You walk out onto a wrap-around porch leading directly out to the firepit patio, and every step of the way you are greeted with spectacular water views.

The Concord boasts a versatile floor plan that caters to the needs of modern families. With three different gathering spaces on three different levels, there's plenty of space for everyone. The master suite, in particular, is a parent’s sanctuary, offering a private deck with (you guessed it) more spectacular water and mountain views.

We invite you to explore The Concord and experience firsthand the quality and craftsmanship that all of us at Parkwood are so dedicated to and proud of. Whether you're a first-time homebuyer or looking to upgrade, our team is here to guide you through every step of the homebuying process and build the perfect home for you and your family.

At Parkwood Homes, we're not just building houses; we're crafting homes where memories will be made for years to come. Your dream home awaits.

Building a Chestertown with Ashleigh & Lyle

Building a house for someone is always a special and unique experience. In a very short time, you get to know exactly what is most important to a person and where their priorities lie. Then, you get the opportunity to turn their dreams into a reality. After closing on a new home, we love to check back in with our buyers to hear about their experience, learn more about their process, and see what amazing things they have done with their home.

We were lucky enough to get to talk to Ashleigh & Lyle Wallace this month about their experience building a Chestertown in Central Park. Then they were kind enough to show us all the phenomenal work they have put into their home since closing. Read below for our interview and some spectacular pictures of their home.

Building an Asheville with the Purvis Family

At Parkwood, one of our favorite things we get to do is check back in with our buyers after they’ve had a little time to settle into their new homes. We had a chance to talk with the Purvis family that just built an Asheville with us in Sterling Ranch, CO about what their process was like, and they were kind enough to let us get some beautiful pictures of their home.

Parkwood Homes in Painted Prairie

Parkwood Homes in Painted Prairie

Since our beginning in 1995, Parkwood Homes has been very selective about the communities in which we build. From our beginnings in The Kentlands, Maryland, it has been important to us not just to build beautiful homes but to build beautiful neighborhoods for families. 

In our 25-plus years, we have only chosen to build in a handful of communities. Parkwood always seeks to build homes in world-class master-planned communities focused on the best of traditional neighborhood design. Kentlands in Maryland, Stapleton/Central Park in Denver, and Daybreak in Utah have all been recognized as the best master-planned communities in America.

Before committing to purchase lots in a new development, we scrutinize the community’s land plan, its commitment to parks, trails, and amenities, and perhaps most importantly we get to know the land developer very well to ensure that they align with our values. In Colorado, we feel honored to have been one of the only start-to-finish homebuilders in Central Park for its two-plus decades. As we sell and build the last of our homes there, we believe we have found another great community and developer to partner with, and are turning our focus to our next great Colorado project, Painted Prairie in Aurora, Colorado.

The Community

Painted Prairie is dedicated to connecting Colorado’s best local homebuilders, joyful parks and amenities, and an innovative new town center to create one of Denver's most exciting and welcoming new communities. Located between downtown Denver, the airport, and Anschutz-Fitzsimons Medical Campus, the Prairie is ideally situated to provide easy access to jobs, the airport, and downtown. But you won't have to go far to find most of what you need.

Residents of Painted Prairie have access to a collection of outdoor spaces unlike anything in the area. High Prairie Park, a 22-acre green space at the heart of the community, is ready for any weekend plans you might have, from its four whimsical playgrounds from Beanstalk Builders to its picnic and grilling stations with Front Range views. You can also enjoy a stroll or watch the sun set over the Rockies on Sunset Ridge Promenade. There are miles of running and biking paths for anyone looking to get out and explore. If you're looking for a more intimate setting, six smaller pocket parks throughout the community guarantee that you'll never be far from beautiful greenery and fresh air. All of that and more are in the works, with future trail and park plans coming soon.

One of the things we are most excited about in Painted Prairie is the upcoming Town Center. This 55-acre space is poised to provide residents with everything you want or need, just a stone's throw away. Exciting plans for this new hub include a locally-sourced international food hall and chef-driven destination restaurants, co-working spaces, health and wellness, and boutique hotels.

Painted Prairie is also committed to excellent design. They have said that "The spirit of this community is 'Welcome Home,'" and that line of thinking has informed all their planning. Many houses back directly onto shared green spaces where you and your kids can be relaxing and playing in a park that’s just a few steps from home. Homes with beautiful front porches, sidewalks, and tucked-behind garages make the streets feel like they’re built for people and bikes, not just cars, so your kids can play and you can really interact with and know your neighbors. Painted Prairie also promotes excellent architectural design, working with each carefully-chosen homebuilder to create beautiful streetscapes that make for pleasant morning or evening strolls.

Designing for the Prairie

One of our favorite things about beginning to work in a new place is the chance to design new homes that embrace the culture and needs of the community. That was no different in Painted Prairie. Led by Parkwood Architect Daniel Morales, who has designed every Parkwood home in our history, we have been hard at work behind the scenes and will soon be able to share with you the complete plans for two brand-new homes: The Chelsea and The Lexington.

Inspired by the best of traditional American architecture, these homes will be beautiful additions to the streets of Painted Prairie. The Chelsea is a classic Colonial, and The Lexington is our newest take on the Victorian Farmhouse. Both will feature the timeless detailing and thoughtful space planning Parkwood built its reputation on in Central Park, as well as cool outdoor spaces to enjoy Colorado sunshine and Front Range vistas. 

For email updates about everything we are doing in Painted Prairie, make sure to fill out the form on our Painted Prairie page so you can get added to our VIP mailing list. For fun and current pics and info, follow our Facebook and Instagram pages.. 

We plan to begin construction this fall on a red brick Chelsea as our first model home in Painted Prairie, opening in Spring 2022. We can't wait to see you there and welcome you to the neighborhood!

Customizing with Sarah and Andrew

In Stapleton, Sarah and Rumple were among our first Painted Ladies home buyers. The Painted Ladies Collection was designed to capture the eclectic style of the Victorian homes in San Francisco, while incorporating the modern amenities that make our homes feel spacious and livable.

“It feels like a cool, urban house, but it has all the modern amenities you’d need. We couldn’t be happier and we want to live here at least until our kids are out of here, so we have a long way to go.”
