WEST 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.
