Today I held open a lovely home (10040 W. 74th Pl.) in my lovely town of Arvada, Colorado, and had a very special visitor.  

This is my grandson, Jayden.  He brought his mom and dad, and checked out the house thoroughly.

Jayden thought the kitchen was laid out especially cool, because guests can sit at the counter and visit with the cook, and the cook can look straight out the windows to enjoy the mountain view.  Of course, people will also want to wander out to the wrap-around deck to relax and enjoy the vista.

OK, OK - I admit it - this is just an excuse to post pictures of my little cutie pie.  But if you want to know more about this home, click here to see the property website.

Or, come visit me tomorrow, Sunday April 11, from noon until 3:00 pm.  I promise not to write a blog post about you (unless you want me to!)

This home is now sold and her new family will be moving in soon.  If you are looking to buy or sell a house between Denver and Boulder, please call or email me - I'd love to assist!

I don't know whether to start by talking about the inside of this home, or the outside, both have so much to offer.

This home sits on one of the largest lots in Arvada's Sierra Vista neighborhood.  It's .39 acres (17,066 square feet), and a seasonal creek runs along the back (for those who don't live in an arid place, that means it's a creek after a heavy rain, but it's usually a ditch!) The backyard is pretty flat, but the ground slopes down to the south past the creek, so there are lovely views from the huge, wrap-around deck.  It's nicely landscaped, and will soon be in bloom with flowers and peach and plum trees.

There is an attached 2-car garage, but also a large driveway to park your RV's, friends (if you've got 'em), and family (if you want 'em).

Inside you'll find a custom kitchen, with lovely views to the south, lots of natural light from the skylights and door that opens onto the deck.

There's a formal dining room (not TOO formal!), which also has a door that opens onto the deck where it wraps around to the side of the house.

The wood floors are lovely, the carpet is new, there's tile in the kitchen. Every detail has been upgraded from faucets to light fixtures.

All three bedrooms are on the upper level. There is a bath attached to the master bedroom.

The main bathroom has a jetted tub, and there is another bathroom with shower in the lower level.

The lower level also has a large open room which can be enjoyed in a multitude of ways, and you can walkout to the huge yard. 

The home has 2,221 square feet, custom windows, brick and steel siding, updated electrical, built in 1961. 

Oh - you want to know how much?  $318,000 - an excellent price for such a lovely Sierra Vista home!

Sierra Vistas' children attend school at Sierra Elementary School, Oberon Middle School, and Ralston Valley High School.
