The Kearns Team Stapleton Real Estate News - Information on Buying and Selling Real Estate in Stapleton and Denver Colorado

Didn't win the 2011 HGTV Green Home in Stapleton? Well, now it can be yours - for a price.

That's right, the winners of the HGTV Green Home decided to take a cash option instead of moving from NJ to Colorado, and now the home is available for sale.  Listed for $699,000, the price includes the dog wash and the iPad controls, but the art and furnishings will cost you a little more.  

Built by Infinity Home Collection, a premiere Stapleton homebuilder, the HGTV Green Home in Stapleton is certified at the LEED Platinum level and is loaded with eco-friendly options. Exotic Colorado beetle kill pine doors on the 'do-room' and airport runway concrete incorporated into the low maintenance backyard are just a couple of the creative green aspects of the home.

Located on a corner lot in Stapleton's Central Park North neighborhood, across from the 80 acre Central Park, and a short distance from the former airport's control tower, HGTV selected the homesite well when they decided to build the 2011 Green Home in Denver's newest 'classic neighborhood.'  A short commute to the Fitzsimons Anschutz Medical Center, Downtown Denver and Denver International Airport, the home's location will become even more convenient in a few years when RTD completes the commuter rail line from DIA to Downtown.  The Central Park Station will be close enough to walk to from the Green Home, but far enough to avoid the noise and traffic.

The 2011 HGTV Green Home is also just a short walk to Stapleton's Swigert-McAuliffe International School, opened in 2011, and the Denver Central Park Recreation Center.

Here's your chance to own a home like no other in the country.  The 2011 HGTV Green Home in Stapleton is available for sale. Contact Diana or Michael Kearns today to schedule a private tour of this amazing home!

Have you checked out the new Stapleton community website StapletonConnect.com? I met with Dan and Erin last week (relatively new Stapleton residents and the enthusiastic team behind Stapleton Connect), and wanted to share some info about the website. In addition to community information, events and resources, there is a social componenent designed to help Stapleton residents connect with one another through social networking (forums, groups, blogs and more). Drop by and check it out! You can use Facebook, Twitter, Google or Yahoo to set up your account in moments.

By the way, the hope is that StapletonConnect can continue to be a POSITIVE website where friends and neighbors can share useful info about this great community!

They also just launched a photo contest called 'Capture Stapleton,' on the StapletonConnect Facebook page. There are numerous prizes from local businesses including Wine Cellars by Stapleton, Harkins Theatres, Art & Framing by Stapleton and the Improv Comedy Club and Dinner Theatre.
