Brookland at Lakepointe VIP List Growing, Luxury Condos by the Lake in Newly Reenvisioned Hopatcong

HOPATCONG, N.J. - Sept. 3, 2015 - PRLog -- Beautiful, energy-efficient condominiums always attract interest, but Coldwell Banker New Homes says the news about Greentree Development Group’s Brookland at Lakepointe is spreading so fast, the VIP List for the 15-home community is filling up before the homes are even completed.

These are the first homes offered as Hopatcong Borough reimagines this section of town. Working with Greentree Development, Hopatcong is creating a year-round pedestrian-friendly neighborhood that will include elegant homes and a Main Street with retail spaces and restaurants against the backdrop of Lake Hopatcong. The newest mixed-use neighborhood in Northern New Jersey, Lakepointe has been eagerly watched since its groundbreaking.

Brookland’s grand opening is slated for Sept. 19, although previews are available. Those who take advantage of the grand opening will have the widest choice of homes at “pre-construction” pricing, starting in the low $200s.

Located at 5 River Styx Road in Hopatcong, Brookland is a state-of-the-art building with about 4,500 square feet of retail space and a one-bedroom home on the first floor. One the second two floors are 14 two-bedroom homes.

All homes here have nine-foot ceilings, two bedrooms, spacious kitchens and bright sunny rooms.  With garages for some homes on the ground floor, a private stairway takes owners home to one of the three floorplans, ranging in size from about 950 square feet to just under 1,300 square feet.

“These are high-quality, energy-efficient homes with the features people want,” said David Schoner, vice president-Coldwell Banker New Homes. “Greentree has a great reputation as a quality homebuilder.”

Schoner noted that Brookland’s maintenance-free construction will appeal to those who don’t want to worry about taking care of a home. For instance, the condominium association will take care of all common areas, snow removal and landscaping. Built to the latest building codes for energy efficiency, these homes offer a 10-year structural warranty and warranties on the products and systems in the home.

Surrounded by a cove and rolling hills on one side and Lake Hopatcong on the other, Brookland is built with stone and stucco accents and maintenance-free vinyl siding. The GAF roof offers a lifetime warranty and the Low-E glass in the Pella windows help with energy efficiency.  Some condos will include an oversized one-car garage with storage.

The quality and luxury continues inside with three stunning floorplans. All have designer kitchens with maple cabinetry with a choice of colors. Kitchens feature granite countertops, stainless steel undermount sinks, lever faucets with pull-out sprayers and stainless steel GE appliances, including gas range, microwave and dishwasher.

Bathrooms feature maple cabinetry, cultured marble countertops and sinks, glass enclosed tile showers in the master bath and bathtubs with tile surrounds in the guest bath.

High-efficiency heating and cooling equipment, complemented by extra insulation in the 2x6 walls, keeps these homes comfortable.  Homes have high-efficiency 50-gallon water heaters along with city water and sewer and underground electric, gas and cable service. Homes are wired for phone, internet and cable.

The spacious rooms are bathed in light and the floor plans lend themselves to privacy and entertaining, especially the corner homes on the third floor with their 12-foot ceilings with lots of windows. Hix emphasized that only four of those homes were available.

At 957 square feet, even the smallest of the two-bedroom homes offers luxury appointments. After entering the home, one walks into the great room, an open space that lends itself to entertaining or relaxing. At the far end of the great room is the island kitchen, complete with ample counter and cabinet space and appliances. Down the hallway are two bedrooms and a full bath. The master bedroom, at the far end of the hall, has a walk-in closet and a private bath. These homes are priced in the low $200s.

“All of these features, in a new energy-efficient building in a great location, makes Brookland at Lakepointe an amazing value,” said Randall “Randy” Hix, broker associate of Coldwell Banker Morristown and community sales director of Brookland at Lakepointe. “These homes are well designed and luxurious, plus they’re close to everything.”

One of Brookland’s best features is it location. Major work centers are readily accessible by Interstates 80 and 287 and State Route 206, all of which are close by. Train service to New York City is less than 15 minutes from Lakepointe, and the ride is about an hour to the city.

Newark-Liberty International Airport is less than an hour away. And if living on New Jersey’s largest manmade lake gets boring, there’s shopping, cultural activities, recreational facilities and other features surrounding Hopatcong.

With prices ranging from the low $200s to the low $300s, these homes are expected to sell quickly. Sales and showings are by appointment only. Call Hix at 973-670-9024 or 973-267-8990, ext. 120.for more information.
