To help families challenged by today’s correcting real estate market, Anthony Garofalo, president of Diamond Developers, has announced “Deal of a Lifetime” incentives at his single-family home community, The Grand at Berkeley. Buyers who act quickly will be able to purchase any of the 42 homes at the community without lot premiums. They will also receive a free finished basement and save thirty per cent on builder’s upgrades.
“The Grand at Berkeley has been very successful in spite of a lackluster real estate market. Over 25 % of our homes have been sold in less than two months,” Garofalo explains. “However, tightening in the credit markets has made home buying more difficult for some families and we are trying to help with Deal of a Lifetime incentives that make a new home at The Grand more affordable.”
Homes at The Grand are priced from $399,900. All homes are set on one-third to one-half acre homesites and include four bedrooms, 2.5 baths and a broad selection of upscale standard features.
The community is characterized by inviting streetscapes. Curb appeal is maximized by homes with striking exteriors in partial, brick or stone complemented by color coordinated vinyl siding. Classic front porch elevations are also available. Four models are currently under construction and open for “muddy shoe walk-thru’s”.
Recently, Garofalo introduced two new home designs to The Grand at Berkley portfolio, a 1,900 square foot ranch home called the Elm and a 3,400 square foot colonial named the Fern.
“After meeting with buyers for several weeks we discovered that some empty-nesters who like the community prefer single level living,” Garafolo says. “We also discovered that younger families with several children at home wanted a home slightly bigger than our 2,900 square foot Dogwood model. Based on their feedback we developed the Elm model, which is a four bedroom, 2.5 bath ranch and Fern which is available with four bedrooms and an optional fifth bedroom or study, a covered patio and an optional front porch elevation.”
Large family rooms, gourmet kitchen with breakfast nooks, substantial bedrooms, formal living rooms and dining rooms are presented in functional layouts that enhance everyday living. During the Deal of a Lifetime promotion, homebuyers will also receive a finished basement that creates additional living space.
Home shoppers have also been drawn to The Grand by the community’s convenient Berkeley Township location. Families with children appreciate the township’s highly rated school system and buyers of all ages will enjoy living at the New Jersey shore. Close by homeowners at The Grand will find numerous, beaches, boardwalks and marinas as well as some of the region’s finest restaurants, shopping centers, state parks and other recreational facilities. The location of The Grand, just two minutes off Exit 77 of the Garden State parkway makes it easy for residents of the community to travel throughout the state.
Models are under construction and open for inspection. Interested buyers may visit The Grand Daily from 10:00 Am to 6:00 PM. Information is also posted on the web at www.diamonddevelopersnj.com/thegrande
