March 10, 2010/Vero Beach, Florida/Nowadays, much too often, we hear stories of unfinished communities with multiple homes in foreclosure, and neighborhoods with overgrown lots and frustrated residents. Well, finally, there’s a positive story coming out of one community in Vero Beach. Eagle Trace is putting people back to work, selling homes, investing in the community and stimulating the local economy.
Drive through the neighborhood of Eagle Trace and you’ll see activity unlike most communities today in Vero Beach, or anywhere else for that matter. Roof trusses are going up and contractors and other tradesmen are hard at work putting the finishing touches on houses. Landscapers are trimming the hedges, and grooming the common areas. And realtors are busy showing off the gorgeous models and making sales. Yes, that’s right making sales. In fact, since the new developer of Eagle Trace has taken over, just three short months ago, sales have closed on two homes and nine homes are under contract.
Eagle Trace, located at the crossroads of 58th Avenue and 61st Street in central Vero Beach, was purchased by the new developer, Eagle Trace Estate Homes, LLC, in November 2009 and in the few short months since then, has made a huge, and positive, impact on the community. The developer lives locally and is eager to prove to the residents of Eagle Trace that he plans on not only finishing this community, but making it the community they originally bought into and envisioned. He has done many noticeable things, like taking over the Homeowners Association, updating the landscaping, trimming all the trees, polishing the gates, getting all the sprinklers in working order, maintaining the lakes to a pristine condition and most of all, gaining full control of the direction of Phase II.
Eagle Trace, like many communities under construction, is divided into two phases and the new developer purchased Phase II. Now that the he has also invested so much into the community, residents are excited to see the progress. They drive around the neighborhood, talking to the developer, who happens to be on the job site every day. Phase II homeowners have also realized that progress is being made and are excited to finish their homes and become members of the neighborhood. And new home buyers are realizing the incredible value of Eagle Trace. With suppliers having a back up of supplies and offering pre construction boom pricing, new homebuyers are able to take advantage of additional savings. In fact, more and more home buyers are looking at these homes instead of re-sales.
And the homes at Eagle Trace are simply extraordinary. Each home is designed with a Mediterranean architecture inspired by a Venetian Village. Luxurious appointments in these homes include sweeping stair cases and stone pillars, 12’ ceilings, dovetail cabinetry, French doors, decorative niches, crown molding and gourmet kitchens. The expansive master bedroom suites have coffered ceilings and large walk-in closets. The bathrooms offer cultured marble roman tubs with marble backsplashes, over-sized showers, and beautiful wood cabinets. Additional custom choices include bonus rooms, media rooms, balconies, and lofts. The roofs are sturdy concrete Spanish Hacienda-style barrel tile roofs. Realizing that most people do not want cookie cutter homes anymore, the developer offers new home buyers the ability to customize their homes to fit their lifestyles and needs. Some of these custom changes include adding additions, putting granite in secondary baths even moving walls and just recently, designed a custom garage large enough to completely enclose a boat or RV.
There are three stunning models to choose from. The Verona model is a 4 bedroom, 3 and half bath, 3,246 square foot home with a loft for only $270,000. The Tuscany home is a 4 bedroom, 4 bath, 2,869 square foot home that offers a second floor bonus room with a 5 bedroom option. The standard price of this home is $285,000. And the Milano is a single story home with 3 bedrooms, 3 baths and 2,490 square feet, offered at $275,000. And every new home in Eagle Trace is being built to the 2010 construction codes.
Eagle Trace is a private gated community which offers many amenities not seen in typical neighborhoods, such as deep, private lots, some of which are waterfront lots. Lifestyle is easy at Eagle Trace since all the landscaping is taken care of by the Homeowner’s Association, with a very low maintenance fee of $139 per month. A community pool is planned to be built after the sale of the 10th home in Phase 2. However, every lot in phase 2 can accommodate a private pool.
Located within 10 minutes of the Indian River Mall, grocery stores, and movies and a short drive to the Ocean, Eagle Trace is perfectly positioned for young professionals, growing families and newly retired couples.
