New Building, Models and Sales Center Debut at The Grande at Riverdale, NJ

Oct. 12, 2012 - PRLog -- RIVERDALE, NJ – Thanks to tremendous interest from Brokers and potential buyers, The Grande at Riverdale, a collection of luxurious one- and two-bedroom condominiums with beautiful mountain views situated in Morris County with easy access to NYC, is experiencing brisk sales. According to Coldwell Banker New Homes, one of the nation’s largest award winning brokerage firms, in a matter of months of opening, Building 3 in the collection is almost sold out and Building 4 has just been released for sale. Additionally, the builder, D.R. Horton, “America’s #1 Builder for ten years in a row” as reported by Builder Magazine, just debuted three new models and a redesigned Sales Center to further assist its buyers. Special fall prices start from the mid $200,000’s. The community is also FHA approved with down payments as low as 3.5 percent for qualified buyers.

D.R. Horton commissioned Cathie Daly and the talented professionals from Design East Inc. of Medford, NJ, to create lifestyle environments for the three new models and to upgrade the Sales Center. “Once visitors can divert their gaze from the amazing fall vistas,” points out Coldwell Banker New Homes Vice President David Schoner, “they are immediately immersed in the warm, inviting feeling of the new Sales Center, which is designed to enhance the buying experience and assist people in making their purchase. As demonstrated by the sales pace, Brokers and buyers are already praising the new models and Sales Center.”

On-Site Sales Manager Kelly Flanagan agrees, “We love the awestruck expressions on our customer’s faces when they visit. They do not expect to see such magnificent views conveniently located on Routes 23 and 287 in Morris County. With fall here, the spectacular display is in full view outside of every window, especially from the last two buildings which offer southwestern exposures and the highest elevations in the community. Many visitors cannot help themselves from taking out their cell phones to take pictures of the foliage right from our models’ balconies.”

Beyond the views, The Grande at Riverdale offers its owners a full host of luxury details and conveniences. Coldwell Banker New Homes Broker Outreach Program’s Project Liaison Karen Peters of Coldwell Banker in Wayne explains, “The detail begins with the building’s exterior accented by stone and highlighted by its U-shaped design placed around a courtyard area with open lawn, professional landscaping, furnishings and barbeque grills for outdoor entertaining. Inside, are spacious, fully appointed condominiums. The newly opened and decorated Laurel, Bayberry and Hickory models showcase each design, the uniqueness of the space and lifestyle possibilities.”

The two-bedroom, two-bath Laurel model received rave reviews with its chic earth tones, honey cabinetry and inviting transitional furnishings, which make buyers feel like they are living at a Swiss chalet.

The Bayberry model has been recreated to appeal to a sophisticated buyer who is looking for an open floor plan design. Peters explains, “The unit features a large kitchen which opens to a spacious living area, perfect for entertaining. Many visitors love the nook and feel it would make a great home office.”

The calming effects of the serene blue, green and gray tones of the two-bedroom, two- bath Hickory model enhance the glorious views of the Ramapo Mountains through numerous windows.

Other features include a fireplace; granite countertops and GE® stainless steel appliances in the kitchen; large walk-in closet and full tiled bath; laundry area; and depending on the home, an upper level loft with closet. Underground parking and individual energy efficient heating and air conditioning add to the convenience of each home.

Other highlights of The Grande at Riverdale are the two spacious clubhouses with fitness centers and adjoining pools, community tennis and basketball courts. “The Clubhouses have become a hub for resident activities,” explains Peters. “Many comment that they feel like they are on vacation living here.”

The community is complimented by its ideal location in Riverdale, one of Morris County’s most picturesque and convenient towns. “The owners at The Grande at Riverdale not only enjoy the benefit of Morris County schools and taxes, but also its accessibility to just about anywhere in the state as well as Manhattan and upstate New York via Routes 287, 23 and 80,” explains Peters. “The town and surrounding area offer a perfect mix of quaint shops, restaurants, convenience centers and malls. Residents also enjoy abundant recreation at nearby parks, golf courses and lakes.”
