Thinking Young

An open floor plan offers endless views of the future

With its seasonal and sunny climate, active lifestyle, vibrant culture and favorable economy, the thought of spending one’s golden years in Northern Colorado is an appealing one. For some current residents, updates to their present home will enable them to age in place and in comfort, but others may prefer a fresh start on their forever home.

In either case, the considerations are the same – an open, accessible floor plan, a ground-level master suite, plenty of space for hosting and entertaining friends, family and the grandkids, and a well-planned community with amenities and easy access to shops and services.

Located on the shores of Timnath Reservoir, adjacent to Fort Collins and convenient to Windsor, Loveland, Greeley and I-25, the WildWing community of new homes is a desirable location for retirees and young families alike. “Because Northern Colorado is one of the top places to live, we are seeing many demographics coming here for the quality of life,” says Jacqueline Feil, who owns Apex Developments LLC with her husband, Andy Feil.

Among the NOCO offerings now on the market from Apex is a stunning, 5-bedroom, 5-bath home at 2648 Majestic View Drive in Timnath. The Ashcroft, one of Apex’s most popular models, is a ranch-style home with everything easily accessible on one main level, plus a finished basement with 10-foot ceilings, daylight windows and a full wet bar with refrigerator and microwave.

This home’s fresh and modern design features an open floorplan and gourmet kitchen with stainless steel

appliances, an oversized island with farmhouse sink, a double oven and European cabinetry. The kitchen opens up to a 13-foot great room with a modern, steel-covered fireplace. For multigenerational living or overnight guests, a second main-floor suite and spacious basement with three bedrooms allow plenty of personal space.

A large laundry room has space for a full-size washer and dryer.

An open, walk-in shower in the marble master bathroom provides easy access.

In addition to the spacious, one-level floorplan, features that will appeal to the 55+ community include washer and dryer hook-ups in the master closet for convenient access, as well as a large laundry room with space for a full-size washer and dryer for larger items or guest use. The master bathroom has an open, walk-in shower, a free-standing tub and marble floors and walls.

Among the home’s many custom and luxury features are 10- to 15-foot ceilings, with accents such as shou sugi ban tongue-and-groove in the office and overhead beams in the dining room. The handrails are custom-fabricated, and the light fixtures and tile were hand-selected.

The master suite offers convenient washer and dryer hook-ups in the closet.

The oversized kitchen island features a farmhouse sink and a double oven.

The home sits on an 11,700-square-foot lot that backs up to green belt, for extra breathing room. The outdoor living space includes a large deck covered by a tongue-and-groove ceiling. Venturing off the property, the neighborhood offers miles of walking and biking trails, grassy open spaces, a park with a playground and a neighborhood swimming pool. The lake allows both motorized and non-motorized boating and fishing, and for those who enjoy golf, WildWing is within easy reach of Ptarmigan Country Club and Highland Meadows Golf Course.

“At Apex Developments, we believe that it’s all about the details,” owner Andy Feil says. “Every effort has been made to accentuate not only the beauty of the home, but the surrounding neighborhood as well.”
