“America’s Best Builder” Unveils Juniper and Bradshaw Home Plans

 GOODYEAR, AZ – October 8, 2010 – Two affordable, entrancing new home plans were unveiled this week at Estrella, the lakeside mountain oasis nestled in the Sierra Estrella Mountains near Goodyear, AZ.  (http://estrella.com/).

‘America’s Best Builder’ Taylor Morrison launched two new plans named ’Juniper’ and ‘Bradshaw’, intended for building in Estrella neighborhoods LaEntrada and LaMirada. Taylor Morrison is offering a $5,000 incentive on its new builds, plus closing costs assistance and for existing inventory they are offering incentives up to $14,500, plus closing costs assistance.

The announcement comes amid renewed growth at Estrella by Newland Communities. At a time when many communities are slowing, Estrella continues to thrive.  Two new builders, Maracay and Richmond American Homes are opening this month, as is the new Safeway store and Chase Bank at Mountain Ranch Marketplace. In addition, William Ryan Homes opened its Serenity series recently in Montecito and built a new model in Ironwood Pointe.  Sales in 2010 have increased by more than 48%, clearly demonstrating the strength Estrella has in the marketplace.

“These homes are gorgeous – affordable yet luxurious residences for those looking to move to Estrella,” said Greg Bielli, Newland Communities Regional President. “And with the financial incentives that Taylor Morrison is offering, now is the time for home buyers to look to Estrella as their next purchase.”

Taylor Morrison’s Juniper (priced at La Mirada are $196,990 and La Entrada $198,990) is a single-story great room floor plan at 2271 sq. ft., featuring a kitchen with huge breakfast bar and large sections of counter space. The home includes 3 bedrooms and 2 baths with an optional 4^th bedroom or bonus room.  Included is a tandem 3-car garage with option to extend it 4 or 8 feet and a large master suite with separate garden tub, shower and oversized walk-in closet.

The Bradshaw (priced at $214,900 at both La Mirada and La Entrada) is a larger single-story home at 2615 sq. ft., with an expansive great room floor plan and formal dining room. The kitchen is perfect for entertaining and includes a nook looking into the backyard.  This 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath home with optional 5^th bedroom or den includes a private entry master suite that offers a separate garden tub, shower and oversized walk-in closet.  Lucky homeowners will also get a 2-car garage with extra storage space and the option to extend it 4 or 8 feet.

Both home models include a front courtyard, a choice of Spanish, Traditional and Craftsmen settings, and a covered patio, with an optional extension available.  Taylor Morrison is offering these new homes on new builds and inventory homes, and these will be available on recently released cul-de-sacs, homes backing to washes, and other unique home sites.
