New Haven Register (Sunday) (New Haven, CT)
Urban vibe with upscale details
Brand-new community offers stylish townhomes
Home buyers searching for exceptional design, quality, amenities and energy efficiency need look no further than Pierpont Hill at North Haven.
Set on 42 acres, this brand-new community offers stylish, two and three-bedroom colonial, cape and ranch-style townhomes that cater to today’s modern living.
In fact, the community earned prestigious Home Building Industry Awards from the Home Builders and Remodelers Association of Connecticut for the “Best Energy-Efficient Townhouse Community” and “Best New Haven County Townhouse.”
“From the moment you step inside a home at Pierpont Hill, you realize there is nothing typical about this community,” listing agent Daniela Volo said. “You are immediately presented with upscale architectural details and spacious, open-concept interiors that rival the urban vibe of the trendiest city loft.”
Each residence was designed with today’s lifestyles in mind with homes that are both energy efficient and smart-wired to accommodate the latest high-tech gadgets. The peaceful neighborhood setting and charming cottage-style exteriors are reminiscent of a scene out of the English countryside, yet Pierpont Hill is conveniently located just 15 minutes to downtown New Haven and 10 minutes to shops, restaurants and highways for convenient commuting.
The community caters to a wide variety of lifestyles with homes that offer something for families, singles and couples just starting out or downsizing.
“We have found that the ranchstyle units are great for the 55 and over set that desire that style of living without having to live in an exclusive 55-plus community because they still want the mix of a traditional neighborhood,” Volo explains.
A distinctive stone entry, landscaped boulevard and lighting create a welcoming atmosphere, along with private roads and sidewalks that lend themselves to creating a distinctive neighborhood feeling that is unlike any other.
The two-by-two “duet-style” architecture offers a refreshing alternative to having the condominiums lined up in a row.
“It’s a unique arrangement and doesn’t look like anything you typically see in the area,” Volo said. “One of the residents commented that he loves driving into the complex because it makes him feel like he is on a movie set every time he comes home.”
A total of 150 units will be built. Phase I is nearly complete with 31 units already sold and only seven remaining. Future phases will also include plans for individual, single-family residences.
Presently, two Patton model residences are available for quick delivery and can be ready for closing within 90 days. These modern three-bedroom, two-anda-half-bath colonial-style townhomes offer 2,002 square feet of climate-controlled living space. Adding the garage and a possible finished basement, the total square footage comes to 3,324.
The well-designed interior is graced with 9-foot ceilings on the first floor and handsome hardwood flooring in the main living areas. The open layout offers a chic, sophisticated atmosphere among a captivating two-story great room with a handsome fireplace, an abundance of windows and sliding glass doors that lead to the patio.
A stunning gourmet kitchen outfitted with stainless steel, EnergyStar-rated appliances, island or peninsula with breakfast bar, granite counters, distinctive cabinetry and spacious formal dining area complete the main living space. A convenient first-floor study offers privacy from the main living areas.
On the upper level, bedrooms are generously proportioned with plush carpeting and an abundance of closet space. The master bedroom suite enjoys a walk-in closet and luxurious master bath with granite counters, porcelain tile flooring, double vanity and Kohler bath fixtures.
The award-winning energyefficient features include a highefficiency natural gas heating system with central air conditioning, high-efficiency tankless hot water system, vinyl clad Energy Star windows, a radon system and high-tech NEST Thermostats that can be controlled right from a smartphone.
A two-bedroom, ranch-style Wallace model is also available for quick delivery and offers an optional finished second floor for a total of 1,882 square feet.
