This is the Plan 4 home at the Summerhill new home development in Mountain View CA at the former Pumpkin Patch property on Grant Road. The first release plan 4 homes will sell for approximately $1,770,000.00, and be constructed on at least an 8,000 square foot lot. The plan 4 homes feature 5 bedrooms and 31/2 baths. These new construction homes will have approximately 2925 to 2940 square feet. New homes will have some features that buyers can customize to their needs such as extra bedrooms, study areas, or media/family room areas. Summerhill builders does an outstanding job of making their homes customizable to the needs of buyers. If the past is any indication, this luxury builder will price each individual home according to the market conditions at the time of release, and the desirability of the location within the complex. This plan 4 model home is currently the sales office, which is where the garage is located. There will be 53 single family homes built in the Enclave at Waverly Park development, but only three models: plan 1, a single story home, plan 3, a two story home and plan 4, one of the largest homes. The plan two homes and plan 5 homes will not have a sales model, however some have already been sold. The price quotations by Summerhill are for homes with standard (as in plain) finishes. As in all Summerhill new home developments, ALL prices are subject to change without notice.
Homes for sale, especially new homes for sale in the greater Los Altos and Mountain View neighborhoods have been increasing in price since April of 2009. This week I spoke with 5 different families that have plans to relocate to the Silicon Valley area and so I would expect that these gorgeous new single family homes will cost more with each release by Summerhill home builders.
Innovative Floor Plans: The architectural design of Summerhill developments really takes into account the needs of today’s homebuyers. All homes will have a ground floor bedroom so that aging visitors or relatives can easily enjoy the home without fear of falling while climbing stairs. The optional Casita, a small guest house is intelligently designed an beautifully detailed. It could serve as a guest house, au pair quarters, or slightly removed office or studio. The optional Casita really fits the needs of today’s buyers.
Summerhill homes is perhaps the most savvy new homes developer in the Bay Area or even the nation. They always seem to be launching their developments at the beginning of a business expansion, typically in an excellent school district, and in a convenient, sought after location. Generally, they only release a few new homes at a time, unlike other builders that release many homes or home sites at once. If homes are released in an upwardly trending real estate market, the costs of the new homes in each release escalates over time, mostly due to market conditions. Real Estate market conditions in the Silicon Valley are heavily influenced by an expanding economy and job market. In the past, there have been times when multiple offers were a frequent occurence in a Summerhill development.
