Silver Creek in Lafayette Grand Opening

Markel Homes is building an exciting new neighborhood, Silver Creek, in a prime location in Lafayette, near Baseline Road and Highway 287. The residential community features green-built, Energy Star® homes and cottages (smaller-size homes) at affordable prices. Residents can leave their cars at home and walk or bike to shops, restaurants, Old Town Lafayette, parks and trails, the public library and Bob Burger Recreation Center. Life doesn’t get more convenient than this.

Grand Opening Tomorrow
“Markel Homes is hosting a grand opening tomorrow, Saturday, Sept. 12, from noon to 4 p.m.,” says Sales Manager Asa Welch. “We invite the community to tour Silver Creek’s two new model homes and find out about all our homes and special offers. There will be live music, pizza and drinks, and great giveaways – including restaurant gift cards, Bob Burger Rec Center punch cards, grocery gift certificates, coffee gift cards and more. Please come join us for a fun afternoon!”

Choose from a Variety of Styles and Lots
The first building phase at Silver Creek comprises 60 single-family homes. There are six floor plans to choose from  – three ranch and three two-story styles. Also, Markel is releasing the first two in a series of cottages – the ranch-style Wildrose and two-story Lavender.

Most cottage homes will be single-level, with open and contemporary floor plans that include two or three bedrooms, in the 1,200- to 1,600-square-foot range. Architectural styles range from urban contemporary to newwest post and beam, and classic with a more traditional feel.
Every Silver Creek home and cottage has a garage, basement and back yard – the yard, a hard-to-find luxury in new communities. Early buyers may choose their home and their lot, and select their finishes.

“We build green,” Welch says, “with a variety of ranch and two-story Energy-Star® rated homes and cottages to choose from, with options such as solar panels and solar hot water heaters, for environmental conservation and lower energy consumption.”
Prices start in the $300,000s.

Available Homes
“We have four great homes available that would all qualify for the first-time homebuyer federal tax credit, as closing on any of them could occur before the December 1 deadline,” says Welch. The Snowcap, priced at $289,682, is a small ranch home with an open floor plan with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a large patio, vaulted ceilings and lots of windows. It is under construction and will be completed by Nov. 15. The Skypilot, for $318,651, is a two-story home available now that offers hardwood floors, designer finishes, all rear-yard landscaping and lovely views. Two lucky buyers will be able to get into brand-new homes for significant financial savings.

Two more homes are available for quick move-in: Wildrose Cottage is a cozy ranch with 1,481 square feet and plenty of southern exposure, hardwood floors throughout, granite countertops, patio trellis, professionally selected designer finishes and more. With an estimated completion date of Nov. 15, it is priced at $399,900. The two-story Redbud home offers 1,957 finished square feet, three bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms, hardwood floors throughout the main level, a large fully-landscaped back yard, high ceilings, open floor plan with large kitchen island, oversized garage, and beautiful master suite with huge walk-in closet and five-piece bath. Available now, it is priced at $399,900.

Financial Incentives
Valuable builder incentives, along with the first-time homebuyer tax credit, low interest rates, and the opportunity to purchase in an up-and-coming neighborhood in a great location, are all reasons to take a look at Silver Creek.

“Our homes and cottages present an affordable alternative for those who are drawn to, or want to stay near, all that the Boulder-area has to offer – easy access to Denver, the mountains, trails and open space, gorgeous back-range views, shopping, great restaurants and recreation,” says Welch.
