A dream home to me is one where the builder has made quality the first priority. The quality must emanate from every nook and cranny of the home, and be reflected back to its occupants by the materials used and the layout of the home. A dream home welcomes you and invites you to turn the next corner with eager anticipation of what lies beyond. The finishes are so natural that they become secondary - rather than observe what great tiles are on the walls, you observe what a great bathroom it is.
The dream home I was in today was at 772 Circle Drive in Boulder, in my mind one of the very best possible locations in Boulder to live. The lot has 360 degree views from the Flatirons to Fort Collins to Denver, and the builders took advantage of the location, creating a rooftop deck to lounge on and soak up the sun. Countless windows let in light to create a glow off the white oak floors and travertine tiles. Geothermal heating and cooling along with a photovoltaic system lessen the home's impact on the environment. But, most importantly, the home made me want to linger - my ultimate litmus test for quality.
The listing agent's description of the home says it best: this home is a work of art.
