Pardee Homes Announces Redesign of Plan 1 Home at Carriage Run in Coastal North San Diego; New Design Features Expanded Square Footage and Fourth Bedroom

    SAN DIEGO, CA, November 18, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Pardee Homes prides itself on building homes for the way people want to live, so when prospective homeowners indicated that a fourth bedroom would make one of their floor plans more appealing, they listened. At the company's popular Carriage Run (http://www.pardeehomes.com/carmel-country-highlands/carriage-run/) neighborhood in coastal-close Carmel Country Highlands, the Plan 1 home had sold well enough with three bedrooms, according to Rachel Collins, director of sales for Pardee Homes, but a fourth bedroom upstairs, in addition to the existing bedroom downstairs, was added in response to input from home shoppers.

"The addition of a fourth bedroom upstairs, and having a guest bedroom and full bathroom downstairs, was just what the Plan 1 at Carriage Run needed to make it more versatile," said Collins. "It's a really livable floor plan with its great room, dining room and open, airy kitchen, all in an easy to love size, with approximately 2,151 square feet. Adding an extra bedroom upstairs means growing families will have enough bedrooms and the option of a home office, guest room or even room for a Nanny."

Priced from the mid $700,000s, Carriage Run features a total of three floor plans, with four bedrooms, two and three baths and square footage ranging from approximately 2,151 to 2,402 square feet.
