Less than three months after its grand opening attracted more than 3,000 home shoppers, Christopher Homes’ Pacific Shores in Huntington Beach is a resounding success. The private, gated community just three blocks from the beach quickly sold out several floor plans and released a second phase within just a few weeks of the opening to keep up with the strong demand. Now the first phase is under construction with the first move-ins set for early April.
The phenomenal response that Pacific Shores has attracted reflects the timeless appeal of a coastal community where residents will experience the extraordinary ... a luxurious home and the relaxed lifestyle that goes hand in hand with living at the beach.
Pacific Shore’s initial success was sparked by the design excellence of the community’s first neighborhood, The Bungalows.
The Bungalows at Pacific Shores offers five spacious two- and three-story townhome plans, ranging from 1,481 to 2,606 square feet and featuring two, three or four bedrooms, with up to four and one-half baths. Each plan is uniquely designed for the needs of today’s families and single households, enhanced by a spacious gourmet kitchen and flex-spaces including a super loft spanning more than 500 square feet, retreat or multipurpose room. Creating a custom-like community ambiance, architecture will include a mix of Spanish, Andalusian, Plantation and Coastal styles. Prices currently start in the mid $500,000s and range up to the low $800,000s with no Mello-Roos taxes. Residences Two and Three offer both two- and three-story designs. The two-story homes are value-priced from the $700,000s.
Every Bungalows residence is a showcase of fine appointments. Gourmet island kitchens radiate with the contemporary look of slab
granite countertops, a choice of wood-stain or white Thermofoil cabinets, built-in Whirlpool® Gold® stainless steel appliances and ceramic tile flooring. Master baths make elegance an everyday experience with ceramic tile countertops and shower walls, clear-glass frameless shower enclosures and large walk-in closets. And architectural flair extends throughout the homes with uniquely designed passages, volume spaces, recessed lighting in select locations and even such striking touches as decorative glass block for light and privacy.
For the environmentally conscious, The Bungalows offers an array of green living comforts: 13 SEER air conditioning and gas forced-air heating with pilotless ignition, Honeywell® programmable digital thermostat, Rinnai® tankless energy-efficient water heater, water-saving shower heads and faucets, energy-saving dual-pane Low-E glass insulating vinyl windows and complete exterior insulation.
The Bungalows also offer a variety of customizing opportunities, including upgraded cabinet stain finishes and door styles, upgraded granite and tile selections, and such state-of-the-art technology as home theater, intercom, security alarm and central vacuum systems.
In mid 2011, The Bungalows will be joined at Pacific Shores by The Villas, a collection of luxury courtyard homes that will take architectural elegance and spaciousness to stunning heights. Spanning approximately 3,500 to over 4,100 square feet, these
Pacific Shores in Huntington Beach celebrates success on many fronts
dramatic residences will encompass four to five bedrooms and loft space for entertainment and parties. Prices are anticipated to start in the low $1 millions, and each of The Villas residences will feature a three-car garage. In addition, generous courtyards adjoining the living and family rooms will take on the character of outdoor rooms and many of the homes will offer views of wetland open space and the blue Pacific.
As a money-saving benefit for buyers, Pacific Shores will have no Mello-Roos tax assessments, and as an added convenience, Pacific Shores is offering full broker cooperation.
The prospect of living in a gated private community within walking distance of the beach is just one of the attractions that are boosting Pacific Shores’ appeal. The community is also being enhanced with an inviting two-acre public park and a prime location that is just minutes from Huntington Beach’s vibrant downtown, which abounds with shops, restaurants and night life. Also nearby are the world-renowned Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve, Huntington Central Park and Library and Huntington Beach’s excellent public schools.
Pacific Shores residents will also enjoy easy access to everything Orange County has to offer, including higher education at Goldenwest College, Orange Coast College and UCI; world-class shopping at South Coast Plaza and Fashion Island; major league sports at Angel Stadium and the Honda Center; and a full calendar of cultural presentations at the
Orange County Performing Arts Center.
