More About This Home
Living a 5-Star Lifestyle
This townhome is perfectly designed for luxurious convenience. Parkway Circle / Vantage Pointe appears on the Boulevard as a radiant hotel. And rest assured, your lifestyle at Parkway Circle will be nothing short of 5-star. A colorful stucco and stone exterior adorns your three-story townhome.
The interior of your new home has recently seen over $80K in renovations. A Spanish-style influence fits seamlessly into the arid and mountainous farmland that covers Broomfield.
The Community
13494 Via Varra is perfectly situated off HWY 36. It's perfectly convenient to neighboring cities. You’re only 10 minutes from both Denver and Boulder. Your new Broomfield neighborhood is inviting, and highly walkable. It’s only an 8-minute walk down Via Varra to your neighborhood Starbucks and fantastic eateries (wood-fired pizza, anyone?!)
Never discount the importance of a healthy lifestyle. Your new townhome grants you 24-hour access to a fully equipped gym.
Parkway Circle borders abundant greenspaces. It’s only a 7-minute bike ride to trails that will weave you through meadows, creeks, lakes, and farmland. Rocky Mountain Views are plentiful. The Parkway Circle HOA even recently added a new pedestrian loop around the neighborhood, which is great for leisurely dog walks.
1394 Via Varra is a corner unit. You’ll enjoy plenty of privacy and quiet. And yet, the amenities are a short walk from your doorstep. The clubhouse and pool are right next to your new home. Spend your summer lounging by the sparkling pool sipping lemonade. Enjoy the double-sided fireplace anytime you’d like. The community amenities are great for entertaining. The clubhouse has a pool table, TVs, refreshments, and comfortable couches and desks. A remote worker could easily utilize the clubhouse as a co-working community.
These types of spaces give you the opportunity to build rich relationships with your neighbors. The HOA encourages friendships and socializing. Frequent community events are thrown, including a weekly Taco Truck Tuesday.

What Makes It Unique
This treehouse-inspired home is the perfect balance between bright and cozy. The open 3-story layout adds volume and character to the home. Tiered living spaces create an easy cheer.
Are you the type of household that likes to fill their days with music? The angles of the vaulted ceilings create a fabulous soundscape. The mature pine trees outside are living works of art, and the architects made picture windows a primary feature of each room. Pops of green and natural light strike a harmonious balance with the beautiful hardwood floors. This aesthetic inspired home renovations that feature a wood-burning stove, copper sinks, and river rock shower floors.
This home features not one… but TWO lofts. The first is a perfect exercise room, outfitted with a full-wall mirror. Meditate, practice yoga, work up a sweat, or just have a dance party! Marley dance floor material makes it safe for any physical endeavor you’re into. The second loft features a 100-year-old reclaimed oak wood flooring from Longmont and an east-facing balcony, ideal for enjoying sunrises.
The lower level is a cozy respite with built-in shelves, exposed brick, and a covered patio.
The kitchen was remodeled in 2014. It includes a large stovetop island, granite countertops, and knotty alder cabinets. On warm summer days, enjoy your meals on the back deck under a gorgeous trellis. The deck overlooks your yard, a bright green swath of grass, pines, and flagstone-edged gardens.
