April 5, 2006: ELIZABETH — The lure of a rural estate lifestyle complete with a sprawling, five-acre, equestrian homesite is drawing buyers in record numbers to Wild Pointe Ranch in the Town of Elizabeth. There, prospective homeowners are finding a wonderful selection of ranch, two-story, and main floor master designs by Sterling Homebuilders and Meridian Homes showcasing Craftsman and country farm exteriors, with room to roam, and delivery dates ranging from immediate to 30-day move-in.
Sterling Homebuilders is offering two versions of The Laramie, a charming walk-out ranch, including one edition that served as the builder’s model showhome. The Laramie is enhanced by an open floorplan with a cozy front porch leading to a large great room with vaulted ceiling and access to the back deck. The kitchen includes abundant, 42-inch cabinetry, and a formal dining room rounds out the living areas. The master suite occupies one side of the home with double door entry, a five-piece bath, and walk-in closet. The other side of the home hosts a secondary bedroom with adjacent full bath, and convenient laundry room, plus access to the three-car garage.
The finished walk-out level adds two more bedrooms, a full bath, a huge rec room with fireplace, and much more. The Laramie, priced from the mid $500’s, offers more than 2,700 finished square feet. Meridian Homes presents The Yukon, a handsome, Craftsman-style ranch with an oversized, three-car garage, and also available for immediate move in. Priced at $641,000, The Yukon is accented by an open floorplan in excess of 2,600 finished square feet. The home offers formal dining room, study, a huge great room with corner gas fireplace, and an adjacent kitchen with breakfast bar, and lots of cabinet space, with a built-in desk and tech center. The gourmet kitchen features granite slab counters, abundant cabinetry, and stainless appliances, including double oven and cooktop. Hardwood and tile are showcased throughout the home.
The master suite runs the entire length of one side of the home, with a double-door entry, a big master bedroom, and a lavish five-piece bath and walk-in closet. Two secondary bedrooms share a full bath. A 1,250-square foot, walk-out lower level boasts nine-foot ceiling height, and rough-in plumbing, perfect for future expansion.
