K. HOVNANIAN’S “FROM YOUR HOME TO OURS” PROGRAM EASES COUPLE INTO OWNERSHIP AT FOUR SEASONS AT HARBOR BAY

Posted on September 1, 2009 | Leave a comment

KHOV-FSHB-08-7408-300PPILITTLE EGG HARBOR, NJ – After 45 years, Nancy Cotter and Gary Lee decided to leave their single-family home in Union, NJ behind in exchange for the resort-inspired lifestyle offered at K. K. Hovnanian’s® Four Seasons at Harbor Bay, the collection of 387 single-family residences for active adults located in the Ocean County Township of Little Egg Harbor.

However, as excited as the couple was to begin the next stage of their lives, putting their home on the market during the real estate downturn concerned them.

Thankfully, K. Hovnanian’s From Your Home to Ours program was available to help eliminate much of the stress and ease the transition into their new residence at Four Seasons at Harbor Bay.

“The From Your Home to Ours program was the key in the selling of our Union house,” says Ms. Cotter.  “K. Hovnanian paid for a stager to visit our home and provide us with a detailed analysis of how we could make it more marketable.”

After reviewing a proposal from Janice Van Der Veken of Town and Country Home Staging, LLC, the couple decided to hire her to make their home more real estate-market ready.

“Ms. Van Der Veken did a remarkable job staging our home,” recalls Ms. Cotter. “In fact, she did such tremendous work that our house never even made it onto the market!

“In addition to being a stager, Ms. Van Der Veken also has her realtors license and when the suggested enhancements were complete she asked us if she could host an exclusive showing for a client she thought might like the space. The program worked remarkably well and we couldn’t have been more pleased with the outcome.”

A signed sales contract enables homebuyers to take advantage of this exclusive program — which has been designed to maximize the opportunity to market an existing home and get purchasers into their new K. Hovnanian residence as quickly as possible. For more information on K. Hovnanian’s From Your Home to Ours program, homebuyers should speak with their Sales Consultant.

“This complimentary service offered by K. Hovnanian is worth its weight in gold, especially for those who seriously consider the suggestions given,” says Ms. Van Der Veken. “Ms. Cotter and Mr. Lee were perfect candidates for this program; motivated and very ready to sell their home, they were making changes almost immediately.”

As the couple moves into their new home, they do so with the confidence of knowing that their existing residence has been sold. They now join the many residents already enjoying the sought-after resort inspired lifestyle offered at K. Hovnanian’s® Four Seasons at Harbor Bay.

“The outstanding lifestyle enjoyed by the residents of Four Seasons at Harbor Bay is about to get even better,” says Glenn Ward, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for the Matzel and Mumford Organization, a K. Hovnanian Company which is marketing Four Seasons at Harbor Bay.  “Currently under construction is the community’s 16,000-square-foot clubhouse and lifestyle facility which is expected to be available this coming winter.”

When completed, the recreational center will mirror the Craftsman-style architecture found throughout the community, while dramatic interior spaces will boast an array of designer finishes and appointments as well as a variety of upscale amenities, including a state-of-the-art fitness center, indoor pool and sauna, separate men’s and women’s card room and a  billiards room.  Residents will also enjoy a championship tennis court, bocce court and sparkling outdoor swimming pool.

Not to be overshadowed by its convenient location and exceptional amenities, Four Seasons at Harbor Bay offers an astounding eleven single-family home designs, each with two- or three-bedroom layouts that range in size from 1,800 to 3,200 square feet of luxury living space.  A variety of standard upscale amenities can be found throughout each residence, include a gourmet kitchen and a luxurious master suite with a sumptuous master bath complete with an oversized soaking tub.

Three new housing designs were unveiled earlier this year at the community, featuring the signature Craftsman-style architecture. Each of the new layouts boast well-conceived interiors that range in size from 1,871 to 2,117 square feet and include either two bedrooms with a study or a third bedroom. With the introduction of these outstanding layouts, pricing at the community now starts in the mid-$200,000’s.

The community’s close proximity to the Garden State Parkway allows residents easy access to Atlantic City with local bus and train stations offering a leisurely commute to New York City or Philadelphia.

Hovnanian company, which is marketing the new community of 101 single-family homes rising in Ocean County’s township of Barnegat.

“In an effort to provide today’s buyers with every possible opportunity to save money, we’ve introduced a new incentive program that takes half-off all lot premiums,” says Glenn Ward, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for The Matzel and Mumford Organization.

“Combined with already impressive pricing and special financing opportunities, this program translates to significant savings. In fact, an increase in traffic to the community has resulted in the sale of four homes in just four weeks and we have since decided to extend the promotion through September 6th giving prospective buyers one last chance to benefit from this outstanding program.”

Depending on plan, some homes also feature a study, loft, two-story entry foyer and dramatic two-story family rooms.

“While the quality craftsmanship and the upscale finishes and appointments found in the homes at The Manor at Freedom Hills captivates visitors, the community’s outstanding location is often what initially piques their curiosity and draws them here,” notes Mr. Ward.

RESORT-INSPIRED LIFESTYLE ATTRACTS VIRGINIA VACATIONERS TO BAYPORT ON LAKE’S BAY

Posted on August 18, 2009 | 1 Comment

Model exteriorWEST ATLANTIC CITY, NJ – After a seven-year search that spanned the country, Francine Ronollo and her husband finally found a spot to call “vacation” home.

“When we initially began looking for a second home we didn’t have anything specific in mind, we just knew that we’d know it when we saw it,” recalls Mrs. Ronollo.  “Little did we realize that we’d be traveling from state to state in search of that ideal spot that suited both of our needs.”

After visiting, Florida, North Carolina, Maryland and a number of other states, the couple decided to narrow their search and focus on areas that would allow them to take weekend jaunts while maintaining their primary residence in Virginia without disrupting their work schedules.

“I began an Internet search and realized that Atlantic City, New Jersey was a reasonable distance from where we lived now and would offer us access to a variety of entertainment, dining and water sports, as well as New York City and so much more,” says Mrs. Ronollo.  “So we began looking in that area.”

The Ronollos visited a number of homes throughout the region, but it was Bayport on Lake’s Bay that sealed the deal.

“When we initially visited the community, the developer hadn’t broken ground yet but the view provided us with everything we needed to know,” says Mrs. Ronollo, referring mostly to the pristine Lake’s Bay that Bayport fronts.  “We were amazed by the location and since we bought our family home in Virginia based off of blueprints, we felt comfortable doing the same thing here.”

The couple purchased one of the community’s bayfront townhomes which boasts expansive living spaces with a large family room or third bedroom and full bath on the first floor, a gourmet island kitchen with a breakfast nook and dining and living areas on the second floor, and a generous master-bedroom suite and second bedroom on the third level.

“One of the first things we noticed about the community was the developer’s impeccable attention to detail; everything was so perfect,” notes Mrs. Ronollo.  “From our first meeting with the sales associate to our closing and now, even as residents; it’s obvious that customer service is a Matzel and Mumford priority.”

The Ronollos and a number of new neighbors are now enjoying Bayport on Lake’s Bay, which was voted “2009 Community of the Year” by the New Jersey Builders Association for its desirable offering of distinctive multi-level townhomes, resort-like amenities and dramatic waterfront location that’s also just minutes from Atlantic City.

The community offers four different designs featuring more than 2,150 square feet of living space at prices starting at just $229,950.   Special purchase opportunities on completed homes are currently available, with immediate occupancy offered.

“Whether they’re full-time residents or seasonal vacationers like the Ronollos, Bayport’s homeowners have embraced the opportunity to enjoy a leisurely Jersey Shore atmosphere that’s enhanced by the community’s well-equipped clubhouse and outdoor swimming pool and sundeck,” notes Glenn Ward, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for The Matzel and Mumford Organizations, which is developing Bayport on Lake’s Bay.

“Lake’s Bay is regarded as one of the country’s top ten sites for wind-surfing and kite boarding, offering our residents the chance to actively participate or just sit back and enjoy the incredible views.  And for those looking for a little more adventure, the celebrated gaming, dining, live entertainment and extravagant shopping of Atlantic City are just minutes away.”

The area is also easily accessible to New York City, Philadelphia, and other points throughout the tri-state area thanks to its proximity to several major state thoroughfares, including the Garden State Parkway, the Atlantic City Expressway, and Routes 40 and 322.

For more information on Bayport on Lake’s Bay and to schedule an appointment to view a furnished model home, please call 609-484-0096, or visit Matzel & Mumford’s website at www.mmhomes.com/Bayport.

To visit the community’s Sales Center and professionally decorated model home from South Jersey/Pennsylvania, take the Atlantic City Expressway East to Exit 2.  Take the Blackhorse Pike to the first U-turn, then head west on the Blackhorse Pike 1.3 miles and turn left on Bayport Drive. Follow Bayport Drive to the Sales Center on the right (across from the Bayport One office building).

From the North or South, take the Garden State Parkway to the Atlantic City Expressway Eastbound toward Atlantic City, then follow directions as above.

The three remaining Village homes consist of two impressive Fairfields and one distinctive Englewood.

“The Village Homes have consistently appealed to buyers who don’t require the extra square-footage offered in the community’s larger Estate Homes Collection and have taken advantage of the corresponding lower price points,” notes Glenn Ward, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at The Matzel and Mumford Organization.

“As a result, only three homes now remain available for sale, each one designed to enhance the breathtaking streetscape and distinct family-friendly atmosphere of the community.”

Buyers will also appreciate the fact that Chesterfield Downs adheres to a stringent “look-alike” ordinance enforced by the township which helps create an attractive streetscape and increased value through variations in the home designs permitted along a particular block, according to Mr. Ward.

The single-family residences offer four bedrooms, gourmet kitchens outfitted with designer cabinetry and breakfast nooks, dramatic two-story entrance foyers (per plan), studies (per plan) and two-car oversized garages.

Residents of Chesterfield Downs enjoy residing in a picturesque township that spans nearly 22 square miles and is currently ranked second among New Jersey municipalities in farmland preservation, with nearly one-third of the town permanently deeded for agricultural use. However, thanks to close proximity to major roadways like Route 206, 130, I-295, I-195 and the New Jersey Turnpike, the community provides a convenient commute to regional commerce centers including New York and Philadelphia.

There’s also a wide array of exciting entertainment and recreational opportunities found nearby, including a first rate selection of championship caliber golf courses. Six Flags Great Adventure is just 13 miles from Chesterfield Downs, where families can take in shows, ride some of the world’s most famous roller coasters or splash around at the expansive water park.

For more information on Chesterfield Downs please call 609-298-4226, or visit www.mmhomes.com/chesterfielddowns.

WEST ORANGE, NJ – The Matzel and Mumford Organization is inviting the public to join current homeowners at Bel Air at West Orange on Saturday, July 25th for a fun-filled demonstration on How to Throw a Successful Summer Party.

Guests will receive instruction from one of the country’s premier specialty retailers of home furnishings and products on how to host a successful Summer affair by setting the perfect table, coordinating with seasonal accessories and preparing a variety of refreshing cocktails and tantalizing hors d’oeuvres, according to Glenn Ward, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for The Matzel and Mumford Organization, a K. Hovnanian Company which is developing the collection of 250 townhome residences rising in the upscale Essex County township of West Orange, NJ.

The one-of-a-kind event will be held in the community’s stunning Alameda model home from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. For more information or to reserve a place, please call (973) 243-6794.

“Bel Air is home to an active social calendar as residents take full advantage of the community’s resort-inspired amenities which include a clubhouse, sparkling outdoor swimming pool and sun deck,” notes Mr. Ward.

“With the mercury on the rise, summer parties are in full swing, and we thought it would be fun to have professionals give their take on how to make those parties more memorable. Attendees will also enjoy tours of our model homes and amenities.”

Featuring ten distinct floorplans, Bel Air’s magnificent townhomes are spread over 160 acres of beautiful rolling hillside in one of Essex County’s premier residential addresses. The residences boast from 3,090 to 3,700 square feet of luxury living space and are priced from the high-$600,000’s. A handful of premium locations are currently available which feature secluded cul-de-sac streets with scenic views.

Offering three- and four-bedroom layouts, the homes each feature a wide array of upscale amenities and finishes, including gourmet kitchens with center islands and breakfast nooks, spacious dining rooms, studies, and luxurious master suites.

“The wide variety of floorplans found throughout the community has made Bel Air a desirable location for buyers in every stage of life, from young professionals to empty nesters,” says Mr. Ward. “In addition, of the 250 residences that comprise the community, 60 percent feature the community’s popular ‘Master Down’ layout, which offers the master suite on the first floor. “

Home to nearly 41,000 proud residents, West Orange boasts close proximity to countless exciting recreation and entertainment opportunities including the regionally acclaimed Paper Mill Playhouse and its own Turtle Back Zoo. Nearly one-fifth of the town’s picturesque 12 square miles is dedicated to open space, including municipal and county parks and playgrounds, private and public golf courses, and preserved acreage. Those with school age children will undoubtedly benefit from the area’s education system with seven elementary schools, three middle schools and the township’s prestigious high school.

Families with college age children will be in close proximity to some of the state’s finest universities including Seton Hall, UMDNJ, Montclair State University and Kean University.
Just 24 miles from Manhattan, the town offers the combination of true suburban living coupled with the convenience of a central location. Commuting is easily accessible via nearby NJ Transit rail stations, bus service, Routes 280 and 80, as well as the Garden State Parkway.
