While the interior of a home is of course important, the curb appeal of a property simply cannot be ignored. It provides an initial impression when you’re looking to buy, it’s the first thing guests see upon visiting, and it’s what your neighbors have to look at day in and day out.

That’s why curb appeal is so important. With a few simple fixes to your home’s shell, you can feel completely confident about its integrity — inside and out. Let’s take a look at a handful of homes in Northern Colorado that have this whole curb appeal thing mastered.

 

Ivy-Covered Fort Collins Home on 112 Acres

This Fort Collins home (on 112 acres!) is breathtaking from the exterior, with its unique pale green color, brick features and romantic ivy. From every angle, this home wows you as you approach it, and the view looking out isn’t half bad either. (Okay, it’s incredible…)

Lakeside Home With Farmhouse Elements

We adore this home’s barn-like garage doors and the stark contrast between the white exterior and wooden elements. When you step back, the serene lake in the background takes the curb appeal up a notch. And when you step a little closer, you’ll fall in love with the adorable front porch setting with farmhouse details.

There’s something so striking about the contrast between this home’s white exterior and the pieces of dark wood. The peaceful farm setting sets it apart as well, making you feel like you’ve escaped it all with 5.6 acres of land and incredible views!

Loveland Home That Lights Up

There isn’t much of a “curb” to view this home from, as it is tucked away on the property’s 20 acres of land. However, we love the way it lights up at night, the unique angles of the roof and the stately covered area in the driveway.

Here’s another tried and true Colorado-esque home, with its cabin-like features and earthy tones. We love the stonework on the right side, complemented by neutral colors and clean lines throughout the rest of the exterior. The subtle green door and shutters are a nice touch as well!

One-Story Mid-Century Modern Home

This one-story wonder provides a break in the styles we’ve seen thus far, offering a striking mid-century modern look you just don’t see every day. We adore the bright orange front door, the mixture of materials used (is that a copper metal piece in the center?), and the out-of-the-box way this home was remodeled.
