ACTIVE FAMILY FINDS PERFECT FIT AT MOUNTAINVIEW AT SYCAMORE CREEK

For Eric and Melva Rodriguez, their search for a new home ended when they first set eyes on Christopher Homes' fast-selling single-family detached home neighborhood, Mountainview within the master-planned community of Sycamore Creek in South Corona. Nestled amid rolling hills in the shadow of the majestic Cleveland National Forest, Mountainview at Sycamore Creek boasts a relaxed, natural-country lifestyle just moments from convenient freeway access to premier recreation, entertainment and business centers.

"We looked at a lot of new home neighborhoods in the area, but Mountainview just stood out from all of the others. The architectural styling is very distinctive, we love the sense of space in the homes and the floor plans are really well thought-out, especially for a busy family like ours," stated Melva Rodriguez. In addition to Eric and Melva, the Rodriguez family includes 19-year-old Brandon and 9-year-old Myles.

Like the Rodriguez's, many Mountainview buyers are Orange County residents seeking an attainably priced alternative to Orange County without sacrificing good freeway accessibility and proximity to premier recreation and business centers. "It was easy to see the value of buying a new home at Mountainview," noted Melva, whose family moved from their old home in Aliso Viejo. "We wanted more room and a new home, and this was perfect."

Surprisingly attractive prices currently start from the $500,000s. Pre-qualification applications are being accepted and need to be submitted in order to purchase a home and are available on the website at www.christopher-homes.com. and click on Mountainview.

Superlatively detailed Traditional, American Farmhouse, Spanish and Craftsman architectural styling highlights a selection of four spacious single- and two-story floor plan designs at Mountainview. Designed for a wide range of home buyers, the homes span from approximately 2,661 to 4,185 square feet with three to six bedrooms and two to four baths. Great rooms, dens, bonus rooms, formal dining rooms and teen rooms are included among the various floor plan designs. One plan offers an optional tech center. Attached two-car and two-car oversized garages with large storage space are standard. Front-yard landscaping with automatic sprinkler system is included.

The Rodriguez family selected a Plan 3 residence at Mountainview. "I work from home and the downstairs office is very private, yet convenient to the kitchen and laundry room, so I can get a lot done during the day," Melva notes.

Exciting architecturally designed passages and volume spaces grace the entries, master bedrooms, and living and dining rooms in the homes, depending on the floor plan design selected. Gracious home interiors feature such value-adding amenities as woodburning fireplace and media niche in the family room, radius wall corners, raised panel interior doors, recessed-panel stained maple cabinetry with white laminated interior drawers in kitchens, baths and linens, ceramic tile entry flooring, elegant hand-finished maple handrails with white enamel painted balusters, closets with ventilated shelving, interior laundry rooms with sink and white painted cabinets with cultured marble top, plus two separate heating and air conditioning systems.

Superbly appointed gourmet kitchens offer premium Whirlpool appliances with five-burner cooktops, oversize island food preparation and eating bars (per residence), spacious pantry storage, ceramic tile countertops with full splash behind cooktop, dual cast iron sink, and under-cabinet fluorescent task lighting.

Luxuriously sized master bedroom suites pamper with walk-in closet and private bath including a luxury oval tub and separate ceramic tile shower with clear glass enclosure.

The Rodriguez's also are delighted with the Sycamore Creek community. "It's wonderful. There will be an elementary school across the street, so our youngest son will be able to walk to school, and a sports park right next to the school," stated Melva.

Distinguished by tree-lined streets and lush landscaping in harmony with the community's natural environment, master-planned Sycamore Creek boasts scenic trails connecting to open space and Cleveland National Forest, and a community swim club.
