AURORA, Colo. -- A foreclosed home in Aurora has been refurbished and turned into a family’s dream home.

Laura Pretty, a Colorado native, had been living in El Paso, Texas, with her family, but wanted to move back to her home state.

Last month, Laura and her husband bought a home donated to Rebuilding Together Metro Denver by Wells Fargo. Rebuilding Together is a nonprofit organization trying to preserve affordable home ownership and revitalize neighborhoods by providing extensive rehabilitation and modification services to those in need at no cost. Proceeds from the sale will go to RTMD.

Rebuilding Together with its partners, refurbished Pretty’s new home with new carpet, new windows, a new garage door and several repairs.

“We feel very lucky to have found a house that is just the right size for our family. We appreciate Rebuilding Together Metro Denver for making this an affordable home in a nice neighborhood, where we think we will live for many happy years,” said Pretty.

Wells Fargo said it will donate eight bank-owned properties to Rebuilding Together affiliates in distressed markets including Denver, Las Vegas and Phoenix. Rebuilding Together will repair those properties for sale to low to moderate income and first time home buyers.
