“The homes will be very Tuscan,” says architect Jerry Gloss of Knudson Gloss Architects. “It’s in a hilly area west of Denver, so it kind of has that same topography as the real Tuscany.”
Toscana at Corda Bella, a two-story home, has a main-floor master with two bedroom suites upstairs — perfect for the empty nester. The European detailing required calls for recessed windows; real stone; wood-clad, premium-color windows; and lots of iron on the exteriors and outdoor living spaces.
“Ours is one of two repeatable product lines within the community,” says Sattler Homes president Tom Sattler. “Everything else is custom-built. Our objective has been to target a buyer who wants a simplified custom home-building experience.
