City Park South Victorian! 1531 Steele. This One is Special.

As a Realtor of course I feel that all HOMES are special, but not all houses are. This house is one of those special houses that just has to be spewed about. Old homes are so great but lets face it some just seem old. This City Park South Victorian has so much of the original character that you want to keep. Pocket doors, leaded glass, decorative ceiling moldings, great lighting fixtures, detailed fireplaces, inlaid wood floors, amazing staircase, transom windows, window and door casings, all keep this Victorian feeling like the best of yesteryear. 

The other side of this home is the elegant upgrades that brings it into a modern living environment. Great kitchen with stainless appliances including Sub Zero fridge, New bathrooms one that has a large tub, new systems(New furnace with climate control thermostat and hot water heater). Everything you want in your search for a home.

The new paint palette is elegant and classy and gives this Victorian home a great style that is both welcoming and fresh. 

With all of that being said about this house, maybe the best thing about it is where it is located, Denver's hottest spot, the City Park South Neighborhood. If you are the type that likes to walk to shops, restaurants, bars, Parks, museums, the zoo, East High School, and so much more, you will love living here. The Sunflower Market will be going in this year as well. This will take an already ridiculously high walk score(91) to probably the best in Denver.

Denver Mortgage Rates Update!

Today, in its first meeting in 6 weeks, the Federal Open Market Committee voted 9-to-1 to leave the Fed Funds Rate unchanged.

The Fed Fund Rate remains at a historical low, within a prescribed target range of 0.000-0.250 percent.

In its press release, the FOMC said that, since June, the pace of economic recovery "has slowed". Household spending is increasing but remains restrained because of high levels of unemployment, falling home values, and restrictive credit.

Today's statement shows less economic optimism as compared to the prior year's worth of FOMC statements dating back to June 2009. The Fed is looking for growth to be "more modest in the near-term" than its previous expectations.

Weaknesses aside, the Fed highlighted strengths in the economy, too:

1. Growth is ongoing on a national level
2. Inflation levels remain exceedingly low
3. Business spending is rising

As expected, the Fed re-affirmed its plan to hold the Fed Funds Rate near zero percent "for an extended period".

There were no surprises in the Fed's statement so, as a result, the mortgage market's reaction to the release has been neutral. Mortgage rates in Colorado are unchanged this afternoon.

The FOMC's next meeting is scheduled for September 21, 2010.
