About the property

New 4-Bed Townhome with Decked Primary & Mountain Views

This Thrive-built townhome delivers contemporary, energy-efficient design and striking mountain + city views in one of southwest Denver’s most walkable pockets. At roughly 2,078 square feet across two primary levels plus a finished basement, the home is practical for families and flexible for remote work, multi-generational living, or rental income. The main level centers on a generously proportioned kitchen with a large center island that opens to the living area and fireplace — an ideal layout for daily life and entertaining. A private fenced yard and welcoming front porch extend the living space outdoors for dining or casual gatherings.

Upstairs, the primary suite is purposely staged as a retreat: a private deck captures panoramic views, and the ensuite bath is appointed with a double vanity and a floor-to-ceiling tiled shower with bench. Two additional upper-level bedrooms each enjoy walk-in closets and private full baths, while a dedicated laundry room on this level streamlines everyday routines. Downstairs, the finished basement adds a full bedroom, bathroom, and a sizable recreational room — perfect for guests, a home office, gym, or media space.

The property is all-electric and built with modern energy efficiency in mind; buyers gain the confidence of a builder warranty and contemporary systems that reduce near-term maintenance. A two-car garage provides secure parking and storage — a meaningful convenience in townhome living. Photos are of model homes; finalize selections and allowances with the builder to confirm exact finishes. Move quickly if you prioritize new construction, views, and immediate park access in a central SW Denver location.

Editorial market perspective

Southwest Denver (Loretto Heights corridor) remains attractive to buyers prioritizing outdoor access and efficient commutes to downtown. Through early 2026 the overall market has moderated compared with the recent peak years but continues to favor well-located new construction that requires low immediate capital expenditures. Median single-family and townhome prices in nearby neighborhoods sit slightly below the asking price for this unit, but the builder warranty and contemporary systems justify a modest premium. Inventory is still relatively low compared with demand for quality product near parks and transit; expected days on market for comparable new townhomes is often under 45 days. For buyers, this means competition for turnkey new units; sellers benefit from steady demand for energy-efficient layouts with outdoor amenity access.
