Trumark Homes' Wyeth Cove in Upland Captures Two Merit Awards at Gold Nuggets

    COSTA MESA, CA, July 10, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Wyeth Cove, Trumark Homes' intimate enclave of 39 single-family homes in the highly desirable city of Upland, won two Merit Awards at the West Coast's and Pacific Rim's premier architectural and design competition, the Gold Nugget Awards, which were presented at the 2010 Pacific Coast Builders Conference in San Francisco.

Wyeth Cove was honored with a Merit Award for Best Community Site Plan (Up to 20 acres), and its Residence 1 received the Merit Award for Best Single-Family Detached Home on a Compact Lot (Under 3,200 sq. ft.).

The centerpiece of the award-winning site plan is a beautiful and private central park, which is no more than 178 feet from each of the community's distinctive residences.

The two-story Residence 1 is highlighted by a gourmet island kitchen, open family room and dining room, luxurious master suite with his-and-hers walk-in closets and two-car garage with offset access. It is offered in a variety of architectural styles, including Cottage, French Cottage and Traditional.

"We put a lot of thought and effort into making Wyeth Cove an inviting and distinctive community," stated Michael Maples, Principal of Trumark Homes, "and we are extremely gratified by our Gold Nugget Awards. They confirm that we have achieved our goal of designing a residential experience that is truly rewarding."

Home buyers at Wyeth Cove are invited to choose from four imaginatively designed two-story floor plans with living areas ranging from approximately 1,717 to 2,401 square feet, including three to four bedrooms and two and one-half baths plus a two-car garage. Prices start in the high $300,000s.

Each home is highlighted by a spacious gourmet kitchen, where the convenient island with casual dining bar, stainless steel sink and dishwasher is surrounded by the contemporary look of white thermofoil cabinets, under-cabinet lighting and a complete collection of stainless steel appliances.

Those appliances lead an array of special price-included features that buyers won't find in most other new homes today. The list continues with upgraded classic front door designs, motor court pavers on the driveways, and high-tech energy-saving motion sensors that turn lights in many rooms on when the rooms are occupied and turn them off when they're not.

Additional included extras range from staircases that are illuminated at night to a host of kitchen enhancements: convenient recycling bins, granite countertops, a gourmet island and a stainless steel sink.

Fine appointments also extend throughout the homes, from specialized tech spaces and luxurious master suites with his-and-hers walk-in closets in select plans to interior laundry rooms that are conveniently located upstairs, where most laundry originates. In addition, the warmth of a gas fireplace is offered in every home, and one plan features an airy loft that may also be selected as an optional extra bedroom.

Along with their richly detailed architecture, the homes of Wyeth Cove make a striking first impression with color-blended concrete tile roofs and complete front-yard landscaping with automatic irrigation. Garages are enclosed by sectional roll-up doors with automatic openers, and Residence 3 is distinguished by a rear-access garage and an inviting porch that extends a welcoming greeting across the front of the home.

At the heart of Wyeth Cove, residents enjoy the tree-shaded Traditions Park. Among its amenities are an inviting gazebo with Adirondack chairs, which is a great place to watch the kids play or just relax after work and check out the amazing view of the nearby mountains. There is also a picnic area set up like an outdoor living room with two large barbecues...a great spot for entertaining family or friends or both! Best of all, Traditions Park is private and will only be enjoyed by the residents of Wyeth Cove and their friends and family.

Founded more than a century ago, the close-knit community of Upland has retained the charm and unhurried pace of its country roots, while boasting every modern convenience and a range of sought-after amenities.

In Upland's historic Downtown District, the Town Center is home to cozy coffee houses, a microbrewery, a hometown bakery and treasured antique shops, as well as nationally known retailers.

Nestled at the base of the majestic San Gabriel Mountains, Upland enjoys proximity to cherished national forests and popular mountain resorts, as well as major thoroughfares offering easy access to Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino and Riverside Counties.
