KB Home (NYSE: KBH), one of the nation’s largest and most recognized
homebuilders, is welcoming home shoppers at its newest Colorado
community, a distinctive collection of spacious and flexible
single-family homes called Sweetgrass. Situated midway between Denver
and Fort Collins, Sweetgrass features a charming, rural atmosphere with
beautiful views of the Front Range and close proximity to I-25 and the
E-470 corridor, enabling convenient travel throughout the area.
With Thornton and Denver to the south, Longmont and Boulder to the west,
and Loveland and Fort Collins to the north, Sweetgrass offers quick
commutes to surrounding employment centers and the region’s abundant
recreational attractions. Residents at Sweetgrass can enjoy golfing,
motorsports, fishing, and other exciting outdoor and water activities
nearby, as well as shopping and dining at several of the area’s premier
retail complexes.
“With Dacono’s striking natural scenery, direct highway access to the
mountains as well as urban destinations, and dynamic local economy, we
believe home shoppers will find Sweetgrass a wonderful place to call
home,” said Matt Mandino, president of KB Home’s Colorado division. “We
invite homebuyers to explore the brand new home designs we are
introducing for the very first time at Sweetgrass and discover all the
benefits of living in this vibrant new neighborhood.”
There are 12 flexible floor plans ranging in size from 1,565 to 3,462
square feet available at KB Home’s Sweetgrass. Homebuyers have their
choice of five ranch-style single-story homes and seven two-story homes,
which can be personalized to include two to six bedrooms, two to
four-and-a-half baths, and two- or three-car garages. Pricing includes a
partial basement and begins in the high $200,000s.
Homebuyers at Sweetgrass will be able to tailor their chosen floor plan
to suit their individual preferences through KB Home’s unique
homebuilding process. Standard and additional choices offered at
Sweetgrass include structural modifications like converting a floor
plan’s designated flex space into a study, home office, or media center,
décor details like flooring and cabinetry, and functional features like
central vacuuming and whole-home audio systems.
As with all new KB homes, the homes built at Sweetgrass will be ENERGY
STAR® certified, meaning they are some of the most energy-efficient
available today and have the potential to save homeowners money on their
utility costs, especially when compared to other new or resale homes.
To help KB homeowners better manage their energy usage, KB Home now
includes an innovative Wiser™ home management system in all of its new
homes, including those at Sweetgrass, at no additional cost. The system
allows homeowners to track their home’s energy consumption, in
real-time, from practically anywhere. Armed with the knowledge of their
home’s energy expenditures, homeowners can seek to maximize their home’s
energy efficiency by reducing or shifting energy use during peak times.
Also standard in all new KB homes is a built-in USB outlet located in
the kitchen, so smartphones, tablets, laptops and other devices can be
charged directly into the wall. When charging is complete, the USB
outlet effectively “shuts down” to reduce wasted electric costs.
KB Home is celebrating the grand opening of Sweetgrass Friday, May 30 at
3162 Sweetgrass Parkway, Dacono, CO, 80514. For more information, visit www.kbhome.com
