BIRCH STREET DEVELOPMENT, LLCAsk Dave Woodward what the most important factor is in finding a new dream home and he'll answer in one word: “neighborhood.” That's because Birch Street Development, LLC, of which he is one of three managing partners, specializes in a particular type of development that takes unique advantage of Denver's most desirable established neighborhoods through a process known as infill. Let Woodward explain: “We focus on very desirable higher-end neighborhoods that were built 50 to 100 years ago, with larger trees, mature landscaping and within walking distance to local shops and parks. Then, we identify older homes that are functionally obsolete and replace them with brand-new, historically relevant homes.” Woodward is quick to add, however, that Birch Street's approach to infill development differs dramatically from the sort of one-shot infills that so often maximize house size to the detriment of the surroundings and the despair of neighboring property-owners. “We focus first on the architecture,” he explains, “so that the home we're building fits in. If the neighborhood has lots of beautiful old brick homes, ours will have a 100-percent brick exterior or a substantial amount of brick detail. And we purposely don't build as large as we could, because we want to be good neighbors and maintain a nice-sized, usable yard.” That strategy translates into handsomely proportioned, beautifully designed homes that, from the outside, look as if they fit in perfectly, complete with trees and other landscape features as old as the neighborhood itself. Inside, Birch Street homes—of which some 60 active projects are currently in various stages of development in the Denver area—express today's preference for rooms of stately proportion, with nine- or ten-foot ceilings, large great-rooms with adjoining kitchens, complete with one or two islands and professional-quality appliances, and master bedrooms with his-and-her walk-in closets, luxurious baths, and additional amenities such as built-in safes and beverage areas complete with espresso makers. “We're very focused on spending the money to add extra features that other builders don't,” says Woodward. “As a result, we probably make a little less money. But we're building a long-term reputation, and our clients are thrilled with the attention to detail.” Not surprisingly, Birch Street's homes have been widely recognized for their design and quality construction, with industry awards and customer word-of-mouth alike. The greatest benefit of homes from Birch Street Development, LLC, says Dave Woodward, is inevitably their location. “It's a very different feeling from living in the suburbs and having to get in your car to go anywhere, especially with gas prices going up,” he says. “With our homes, you can just stroll down the street to do your grocery shopping or go out to dinner. We're not just selling a new home. We're selling the lifestyle that goes with an established neighborhood.” Check the Birch Street Development, LLC website at www.birchstreetgroup.com for more information or call 303.733.5122. |
