THE HOME SITES CLASSIC HOMES – THE DYNASTY Sophisticated Mountain Experience

THE HOME: This popular two-story has been refined as the direct result of feedback from Dynasty homeowners, making the layout feel even more open and expansive. The main level showcases an open gathering place, where the kitchen truly becomes the heart of the home — overlooking a stunning family room and an unforgettable great room with its floor-to-ceiling wall of windows and grand fireplace. The intelligent flow of this home offers the opportunity to extend entertaining to the great outdoors on the covered expanded deck. If you appreciate formal dining space, the Dynasty is sure to please. For owners seeking a relaxing respite, the main level master suite with sophisticated master bath and access to the deck is a peaceful sanctuary. The master bath features a large spa-style shower, freestanding bathtub, double vanities and two walk-in closets. Experience drama from above in the spacious loft overlooking the great room. The upper level also includes two additional bedrooms and one full bath. The finished basement has an oversized recreation room, optional fireplace, wet bar, and floor plan options and configurations that range from two bedrooms to a junior master suite, or a combination of bedrooms and a study. The Dynasty is as versatile as it is beautiful.

THE BUILDER: Classic Homes has been a leading local builder in the Pikes Peak region since 1989. For 10 consecutive years, we have held the prestigious designation of Colorado Springs’ Best Home Builder by readers of The Gazette and the Colorado Springs Business Journal. Our reputation is a testament to our sincere and unwavering belief that quality, value and customer satisfaction must remain at the forefront in the process of delivering a home to our customers. Our selection of building materials, trade partners, and the dedication of our employees is driven by Classic’s mission and value statements and the knowledge that we are not merely building homes, but that we are also building communities and creating new friends and neighbors in the process.

As you tour our 2017 Parade homes, we invite you to look carefully at the craftsmanship and detail that our team of professionals builds into each and every home.

SADDLETREE HOMES – THE DILLON Mountain Living Reimagined

THE HOME: The Dillon is a grand ranch-style floor plan featuring five bedrooms and four bathrooms. Walking up to the home, you see the mountain-modern design with exposed timber and defined lines that blend into the surrounding pines. Upon entering you see outdoor elements brought inside, such as stone-wrapped columns and rustic wood, modernized with metallic finishes.

The main floor has an open concept with a kitchen-living room-dining room combination that is perfect for entertaining and staying engaged with your family and friends. The abundant windows bring in the beautiful Colorado sunshine and frame the stunning pines of the Black Forest. The main floor master suite features a sizable bedroom with a five-piece master bathroom including a freestanding tub, large “smart” shower, and an oversized master closet that connects to the garage entrance and main floor laundry room. Head downstairs to the lower level to find three more bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and an additional entertaining space with a full wet bar and media area.

The downstairs features nine-foot ceilings and a large sliding glass door that allows for abundant natural light to come in, and convenient access to the covered patio and the breathtaking outdoors.

THE BUILDER: Saddletree Homes expanded to Colorado Springs in 1994. Since then they’ve been a leader in bringing new and exciting design features to the Colorado marketplace. They continue to grow both their business and their talented team, using their experience and expertise to build a company that will withstand the ever-changing market. This award-winning company will continue to build exceptional homes in Colorado Springs for years to come, with the quality and integrity they were founded on.

THE INTERIOR DESIGN: Classic Homes, in collaboration with Kimberly Timmons Interiors, presents a sophisticated mountain experience in the Dynasty. The interior design of this home offers a modern look that is cozy, yet dramatic, showcasing the open living areas, soaring vaulted ceiling, and the family-friendly loft overlooking the floor-to-ceiling drama of the great room fireplace. Shades of warm grays and creams with additions of black create a classic combination that is comfortable, with just the right amount of rustic, for the lifestyle in Sanctuary Pointe. The contrast between the light linen upholstery and the warm black and caramel furniture pieces create a layering detail, while pops of metal highlight the mountain modern style of the interior of this home. Hints of coppery orange offer a soft and calming ambiance in what is sure to be a home filled with energy in living spaces designed for a large family. This interior design balances clean fluid lines, textural materials, and bold prints.

of more than just the materials used; it brings to life someone’s story, passion and creativity. Most importantly, the cornerstone of the company consists of loyalty, honesty, dedication and care.

THE INTERIOR DESIGN: Mountain living reimagined in a modern way, Saddletree Homes has created a light and airy space with finishes that today’s sophisticated buyers expect from a semi-custom home builder. Jenny Bee, Saddletree’s Interior Designer, used a serene palette that is reminiscent of a cool spring morning. Greens, blues and grays, along with rustic woods and diverse metallic finishes, combine to create a unique and luxurious interior. Shiplap, stone and inspired design elements are all used to enhance the feeling of true comfort surrounded by nature. This home is a reflection of Saddletree’s ongoing commitment to excellence.

ALL ABOUT HOME DESIGN – URBAN FARMHOUSE Casual Elegance in a Family Home

THE HOME: This Urban Farmhouse design is like a new adventure but is still comforting in its familiarity. It is an updated look inspired by a classic style with a perfect open floor plan — one that is both beautiful and welcoming. Backpacks immediately hitting the floor when kids arrive home from school and party guests that always end up in the kitchen, are just a few of the real-life reasons that factored into this choice for the young family who calls it home.

Through the front door this house exudes a refreshingly urbane attitude. An extended foyer with a gallery affords direct views into the main living area. It is the perfect beginning, but don’t stop there; room after room will welcome you with unexpected details and clever juxtapositions of architectural elements and design. There is so much to see to keep you interested and keep you wanting more.

This home was designed as a family retreat where memories are catalogued and walking in brings a sense of peace and a longing never to leave again. With luxurious materials and new architectural influences, this style is back — mixed and twisted a turn or two and making it anything but dated. It is truly a design that is All About Home.

THE BUILDER: For the past three decades, Scott Maynes has been an industry innovator in the commercial and home building industry in Northern California and Tahoe area. For about that same amount of time, Karen Jones has been an award-winning interior designer working with clients across the country and based at her store in Colorado Springs. After talking about it for years, this brother and sister duo finally put their vast experience and talents together to create a premier home building and design company, All About Home Design. In 2014, they were honored to win the CSHBA Best Overall Home and People’s Choice Awards on their first project together and they followed it up with the same awards in 2015 and 2016. With an uncompromising eye for detail, quality, creativity and giving the most value for your dollar, these two have learned what it takes to turn a client’s vision into reality.

THE INTERIOR DESIGN: With a progressive vision and a young couple who wanted a fresh

and hip design, interior designer, Karen Jones, made a stylish design segue for them to a streamlined cleaner look. Using a subtle gray as the go-to-neutral and enlisting black and white to bridge the gap between classic and new, this home is everything warm and inviting.

Unexpected touches including bold patterned wallpapers and signature trim work drenched in crisp white paint keep the eye entertained throughout.

The furniture and fabrics are transitional. Mixed materials and textures enhance the look and make the home interesting and unpredictable. Each room has its own personality but they all flow together naturally. Leaving no detail unattended, this carefully edited design speaks volumes about casual elegance in a home where life is a constant ebb and flow of family and friends.

ALLIANCE BUILDERS – THE PINEHAVEN Sophisticated Living with a Rustic Attitude

THE HOME: Nestled in the ponderosa pines with breathtaking views, the Pinehaven is a spectacular, warm and inviting home. This is a home designed for maximum flexibility.

Whether you like intimate gatherings or extravagant parties, entertaining is a joy. As you walk into the great room, you’ll see the gorgeous kitchen. Fit for a master chef, it features an abundance of counter and cabinet space. The private office space could serve as another bedroom, and the study could be flexed as a formal dining area. It’s your choice!

The master suite has access to the deck, a spacious, walk-in shower, and his-and-her closets. A huge laundry/mud room adjacent to the master closet provides lots of storage and makes laundry day a breeze. The walk-out lower level features a beautiful wet bar and is great for fireside evenings. Two bedrooms and a Jack-and-Jill bath complete the lower level.

We haven’t forgotten the garage, which is perfect for an RV or a shop area, plus four cars! Realize outdoor Colorado living on the covered deck with the built-in grill and fire pit, and enjoy the remarkable view. Sit back and relax amongst the pines.

THE BUILDER: Put our passion to work for you. Alliance Builders is a partnership of two very experienced El Paso County home builders. Brad Ausmus and Steve Hood have been working together for more than 25 years. They bring their individual strengths together to create a unique, easy and satisfying custom home building experience for you.

Brad has the passion for design that creates award-winning, unique and thoughtful floor plans. Use his design skills to craft your ideas into a plan that meets your budget and your lifestyle. Steve’s passion for customer service shines through with his “let’s do it right the first time” attitude and hands-on construction management. His skills result in some of the most satisfied homeowners in Colorado Springs.

We invite you to see for yourself how our passion for great design and superb craftsmanship can work for you!

THE INTERIOR DESIGN: This year the Pinehaven is going rustic! Designer Jessica Brown and the team at La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries have created a sophisticated, rustic feel that

10

will make everyone want to call this home. Mixing rich wood tones with beautiful stone and lots of natural light, this home feels cozy and inviting. The open concept allows the eye to freely wander from room to room, so it’s important to have an overall feeling of balance, while keeping each space separate and whole on its own. We used deep hues of blue and green, mixed with sultry browns and greys, through the use of soft fabrics, buttery leathers, and an array of earthy organic materials. This home is a modern Colorado classic. We hope you enjoy!

of emerald green layered with caramel furniture pieces, and you’ll discover depth in every room.

The casual flow of the interior of this floor plan is perfect for families who enjoy spending quality time at home.

When asked why they stand apart from other builders, Covington Homes owners respond, “We choose designs that fit the feel of the neighborhoods — exteriors that are welcoming and distinctly different and interiors that are inviting. We choose to build in communities that offer good value, convenient locations and a healthy lifestyle. That’s our commitment every day.” Grace Covington, owner of Covington Homes, received the prestigious “Builder Member of the Year” award for 2016 at The Housing and Building Association of Colorado Springs’ (CSHBA) Annual Awards Dinner.

We are small enough to listen, but big

enough to deliver. This provides our buyers an exceptional home building experience with the ability to personalize their home, while having the peace of mind that comes with knowing they have a better built home. Thoughtfully designed with you in mind, our innovative floor plans, attention to detail and focus on energy efficiency make Covington Homes stand apart.

Covington Homes has a legacy of quality that is shown in their modern designs found at Meridian Ranch, Banning Lewis Ranch and Wolf Ranch.

Service and compassion for others has always been the cornerstone of Covington Homes’ culture. They have been recognized

as the “Small Business Partner of the Year” from CASA for their partnership and investment to the safety and welfare of the children right here in El Paso County.

Covington Homes has also made a long-term commitment to partner with the St Jude Children’s Research Hospital and in the 4th annual St Jude Dream Home Giveaway in Colorado Springs, they help raised a record-breaking $872,000 for the fight against the childhood cancer.

“The entire Reardon Partners Real Estate Team was fabulous to work with. Debbie worked with us for over a year to find our dream home. The buying process got complicated as we ran into a number of unusually tricky situations. Debbie’s calm demeanor, knowledge and guidance was invaluable as she helped us navigate uncharted territory to ultimately purchase our new home. Debbie always had our best interest at heart. The entire team was a pleasure to work with and they went above and beyond in helping us with every aspect of the buying process. We consider Debbie, Kelly and Kim to be a “Buyer’s Dream Team” and we would give them our highest recommendation.”

— Ron & Marita, Buyers, January 2017

“Debbie, Kim and Kelly work effectively as a team to support each step along the way. Debbie’s experience and knowledge of the market, combined with Kelly’s day to day support and with Kim’s reminders and tracking of each stage of the transactions made us feel more secure that everything was being addressed and handled as needed to make both the buy and sell successful experiences.

And, all this was accomplished with a Can-Do attitude that created a pleasant experience for both transactions! We will definitely recommend Reardon Partners to anyone who may be searching for highly qualified and supportive Real Estate agents.”
