Models Nearing Completion At Esplanade At Woodbury™; Take Advantage Of Pre-grand Opening Pricing

Sept. 22, 2010 - PRLog -- IRVINE, CA – Things are moving fast at Taylor Morrison's Esplanade, the newest community in Irvine’s award-winning Village of Woodbury™. Model homes are nearing completion, and with the grand opening just weeks away, Esplanade is now offering the final opportunity to take advantage of pre-grand opening pricing starting in the low $400,000s.

“Our Esplanade models are taking shape beautifully,” stated Phil Bodem, President, Southern California Division of Taylor Morrison. “Until our model grand opening on October 25th you can visit our Temporary Sales Center in nearby Portola Springs® and select your new home.”

Esplanade's Temporary Sales Center may be reached by exiting I-5 or I-405 at Sand Canyon Avenue and heading northeast. Turn right on Portola Parkway. Then turn left onto Arrowhead, right on Ranchland, right on Native Trails and right on Deer Track. The center is located at 36 Deer Track and is open Wednesday through Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The models that are under construction will showcase the impressive designs of Esplanade's spacious townhomes and flats. Buyers have a choice of four stylish floor plans ranging from approximately 1,298 to 2,074 square feet, including two and three bedrooms and two to three baths. Open kitchens and family rooms fulfill the needs of today's households while luxurious master suites and oversized secondary bedrooms maximize personal comfort for every member of the family. Main living spaces open onto spacious courtyards or balconies that are perfect for Southern California-style indoor-outdoor living and entertaining. Granite kitchen counters and integrated multimedia capability, including Cat-5 wiring for high-speed computer connections, head a long list of sought-after amenities. Varying plans offer buyers opportunities to make their home fit their lifestyle. The possibilities include den and extra bedroom options in select plans.

Esplanade's unique Spanish and Santa Barbara-inspired architecture features two-car attached garages secluded in central motor courts, creating a visually appealing street scene.  

Esplanade residents will appreciate the neighborhood's ideal location, which is just a short walk from all the conveniences that Woodbury™ has to offer. Heading the list of close-by amenities are the many stores, restaurants and services at Woodbury Town Center, which is home to a Ralphs Fresh Fare, Trader Joe's, Home Depot, Staples, Walgreens, LA Fitness and more. The center also offers a host of dining choices, including The Counter, Starbucks Coffee, Panera Bread and Peppino's Italian Family Restaurant, as well as banks and medical and dental offices.

Children living at Esplanade will attend nearby schools in the award-winning Irvine Unified School District, including Woodbury Elementary School, which is within walking distance of Esplanade. The Irvine Unified School District offers nationally recognized educational programs and is considered to be among the best in Orange County and a major reason families are drawn to communities in Irvine.

For commuting to employment centers and recreation destinations throughout Orange and Riverside Counties, Esplanade is less than two miles from I-5 and even closer to the 133 Toll Road.
